Bracketology MHSAA style
November 1, 2011
Be sure to check out our tournament brackets for football, soccer and volleyball that we've been updating throughout those MHSAA tournaments.
They're an easy way to keep up with who a team has faced, will play next and when, and also where it might be heading for the next round.
And anyone can register to give us a hand and update game-by-game results for soccer and volleyball events. Better yet, registering to update scores allows you to do so for any team for an entire season -- which not only will update that team's overall record in the bracket, but give us all a better idea what it has accomplished this fall.
Click here to see every event being played any day, and click "Submit Score" next to an event to update it or "Dispute Score" if we have an incorrect result.
Visit our soccer page to view interactive brackets for every tournament level.
Go to our volleyball page to view the same for this sport.
Check out our football page to see our football bracket pdfs.
Coach's Guide to Nutrition: Window of Opportunity
May 14, 2024
The 30 minutes following exercise, often referred to as the window of opportunity, is the best time to begin to refuel, rebuild and repair muscles.
Carbs plus protein in this window can help your students refuel and be ready to attack their next workout.
After an exercise session or game, muscles are depleted of glycogen, their primary energy source, and are in need of recovery from the stress of training. A small snack is all that is needed in this “window of opportunity.”
The focus should be on carbohydrates with some protein; the ideal snack would have more carbs than protein. Chocolate milk has both carbs and protein, along with electrolytes and fluids to rehydrate. Liquids are also more easily absorbed by the body to help refueling happen more quickly. Other refueling options could include a smoothie, yogurt and granola, or a cheese stick with fruit.
Within 2-3 hours, have a full meal to continue recovery.
