Yellow Flag Productions – which produces State Champs! Sports Network – and FOX Sports Detroit received a Michigan Emmy Award on Saturday for their “Concussions and the Modern Athlete” program that detailed the effects of concussions in athletics and steps being taken by the MHSAA to enhance awareness and care at the high school level.
The award – presented by the state’s chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences – came in the category of “Children/Youth/Teens – Program/Special.” The show was hosted and reported by State Champs’ Kiara Hay and included interviews with MHSAA Executive Director John E. Jack Roberts and Assistant Director Kathy Vruggink Westdorp.
The show was part of the State Champs! Summer Series in 2017 and aired on FOX Sports Detroit.
Coach's Guide to Nutrition: Fueling with Fast Food
October 8, 2024
Life is busy, and sometimes getting food fast is the only option.
Fueling up with fast food can provide the proper nutrition to students when they are in a pinch.
Learning to identify more nutritious foods on restaurant menus will help provide the macronutrients students need in a meal.
Fast food for breakfast, lunch, or dinner can be part of a balanced diet.
Encourage students to keep the macros in mind when choosing from the menu. Giving students tips, such as choosing baked or grilled chicken, fresh fruit or salads, and milk as a beverage can make it easier for athletes to choose foods that will nourish their bodies.
