HS season is almost over, meaning the private skill coaches can start making income again

They’ll tell you to get back in “the lab”

You had 5 months to work technique and skill with direct exposures, coaching & comp

If you didn’t get it down by then, technique isn’t the limiting factor, it’s physical or tactical

Take your rest, enjoy your time. Then get back to developing your physical traits (strength and speed & overall athleticism), while going through film & understand why things happened to increase your IQ

Don’t let them trick you into wasted reps because they’ve been broke the last 5 months..

Just for fun…

Designed a #IHSA ranking for Playoffs

Predicted 77% of 8A wins (compared to current model of 71%) in 2025 (69% vs 64% of all divisions)

For reference from NCAA Rankings:

D1 FCS = 61%
D2= 62%

National average of state placing games = 14-16

#IHSA 14 to win (top 12) 15 to win >12

This would be what 8a would initially look like

Based on the rating system I’m proposing vs current #IHSA model there have been 8 upsets to our 5 so far

Again, there may be potential errors as I’m not digging in that deep with this

@CoachNiklos @CoachBigPete Is there a link to what this would look like for this year’s brackets?
