We believe that the best way to grow the lacrosse is by empowering lacrosse coaches with the knowledge that will make them successful. Lacrosse is growing so fast that the number of coaches with lacrosse experience is overshadowed by the number of teams to coach. Many places rely on parent volunteers who may not have any experience with lacrosse. We create lacrosse coaching videos that all coaches can watch for free on YouTube and Facebook. Also, many of our videos are paired with a PDF Book this course....
Youth shooting sports don't get much publicity. So, I want to mention two companies here at SHOT Show working to support training children and young adults to be safe and proficient.
LASR (Laser Activated Shot Reporter) —
If you're familiar with our content, you've heard how much we love LASR (Laser Activated Shot Reporter). LASR is a company whose software pairs with a laser training gun like a SIRTor a laser cartridge. The software records shots and appropriate data to help you practice off the range. The LASR X software is incredibly useful and includes many features others do not. That is why we pair with the company for our monthly Shooter Ready Challenge.
Click HERE to learn more about LASR software capabilities.
LASR is working to help bring awareness to the Scholastic Shooting Sports Pistol Program. This program helps develop youth shooting programs and is a conduit to the U.S. Olympic Shooting Team. LASR is assisting by providing its software to regional organizations to facilitate the development of training programs and more effective practice.
The team at LASR wants to hear from you if you are involved in youth shooting sports in any capacity.
WEE-1 Tactical —
The second company is called Wee-1 Tactical. This company produces a very neat product specifically for teaching children how to shoot rifles. More specifically, the AR-15. The company's stated goal is:
Our vision is to develop a line of shooting platforms that will safely help adults introduce children to the shooting sports.
The product is called the JR-15. It is an AR-15 chambered in .22LR, but with a twist. Their rifle is 20% smaller than a traditional AR-15. So instead of teaching your child to shoot a full-size AR-15 chambered in .22LR, they have one sized appropriately for their size and strength.
The gun operates and has the same controls as a regular AR-15, except for the patented safety selector switch. The child can't move the selector to ‘fire' without manipulating a selector on the other side. I think this is a fantastic way to teach a child how to get involved in shooting sports in a safe manner.
The gun's MSRP is $399 and comes with a 1-round magazine for training early on. There will also be 5 and 10 round magazines available. The gun doesn't ship with any sighting system, but it has a standard Picatinny rail with M-LOK on top, so you can mount any sighting system you want your child to learn. The JR-15 only weighs around 2 pounds, and the overall length is 30 7/8 inches.

It’s easy to get confused when it comes to health and
nutrition. Even qualified experts often seem to hold opposing opinions,
which can make it difficult to figure out what you should actually be
doing to optimize your health.
Yet, despite all the disagreements, a number of wellness tips are well supported by research.
Here are 5 health and nutrition tips that are based on scientific evidence. (Continued below....)
Glutathione deficiency is a common feature that complicates infections. We review new research linking suboptimal glutathione levels with increased disease severity and discuss how glutathione is related to vitamin D status as well as ways to support glutathione levels from a nutrition and lifestyle standpoint.
Sugary drinks like sodas, fruit juices, and sweetened teas are the
primary source of added sugar in the American diet (1Trusted Source).
Unfortunately, findings from several studies point to sugar-sweetened
beverages increasing risk of heart disease and type 2 diabetes, even in
people who are not carrying excess body fat
Sugar-sweetened beverages are also uniquely harmful for children, as
they can contribute not only to obesity in children but also to
conditions that usually do not develop until adulthood, like type 2
diabetes, high blood pressure, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease
Healthier alternatives include:
water
unsweetened teas
sparkling water
coffee
Eat nuts and seeds
Some people avoid nuts because they are high in fat. However, nuts
and seeds are incredibly nutritious. They are packed with protein,
fiber, and a variety of vitamins and minerals.
Nuts may help you lose weight and reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes and heart disease.
Additionally, one large observational study noted that a low intake
of nuts and seeds was potentially linked to an increased risk of death
from heart disease, stroke, or type 2 diabetes.
Avoid ultra-processed foods
Ultra-processed foods are foods containing ingredients that are
significantly modified from their original form. They often contain
additives like added sugar, highly refined oil, salt, preservatives,
artificial sweeteners, colors, and flavors as well.
Examples include:
snack cakes
fast food
frozen meals
canned foods
chips
Ultra-processed foods are highly palatable, meaning they are easily
overeaten, and activate reward-related regions in the brain, which can
lead to excess calorie consumption and weight gain. Studies show that
diets high in ultra-processed food can contribute to obesity, type 2
diabetes, heart disease, and other chronic conditions.
In addition to low quality ingredients like inflammatory fats, added
sugar, and refined grains, they’re usually low in fiber, protein, and
micronutrients. Thus, they provide mostly empty calories.
Don’t fear coffee
Despite some controversy over it, coffee is loaded with health benefits.
It’s rich in antioxidants, and some studies have linked coffee intake
to longevity and a reduced risk of type 2 diabetes, Parkinson’s and
Alzheimer’s diseases, and numerous other illnesses
The most beneficial intake amount appears to be 3–4 cups per day,
although pregnant people should limit or avoid it completely because it
has been linked to low birth weight.
However, it’s best to consume coffee and any caffeine-based items in
moderation. Excessive caffeine intake may lead to health issues like
insomnia and heart palpitations. To enjoy coffee in a safe and healthy
way, keep your intake to less than 4 cups per day and avoid
high-calorie, high-sugar additives like sweetened creamer.
Eat fatty fish
Fish is a great source of high-quality protein and healthy fat. This
is particularly true of fatty fish, such as salmon, which is loaded with
anti-inflammatory omega-3 fatty acids and various other nutrients.
Studies show that people who eat fish regularly have a lower risk for
several conditions, including heart disease, dementia, and inflammatory
bowel disease.
Some people avoid nuts because they are high in fat.
However, nuts and seeds are incredibly nutritious. They are packed with
protein, fiber, and a variety of vitamins and minerals. https://cba-it.com/index.html

(....Continued......) After they sinned, our first parents could no longer find joy in
holiness. Furthermore, they sought to hide from the presence of God.
Such is still the condition of the unrenewed heart. We are not in
harmony with God, and find no joy in communion with Him. The sinners
could not be happy in God’s presence. They would shrink from the
companionship of holy beings. There thoughts, interests and motives,
would be alien to those that actuate the sinless dwellers there. Heaven
would be to them a place of torture.
It is no arbitrary dictate on the part of God that excludes the
wicked from heaven. They are shut out by their own unfitness for its
companionship. The glory of God would be to them a consuming fire. They
would welcome destruction, that they might be hidden from the face of
Him who died to redeem them. Moreover, human race would have remained so
forever had not God specially interposed. Satan would point to all this
evil he caused such as:
state of misery and degradation
darkness, accusations, deceptions and lies
alienation and damnation
lack of satisfaction and crashed by the weight of gilt
no future but death
as the result of God’s work in creating man.
The Sinner’s Need of Christ
It is impossible for us, of ourselves, to escape from the pit of sin
in which we are sunken. Our hearts are evil, and we cannot change them.
Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. John 3:3
In other words, unless he or she receives a new heart, desires,
purposes and motives, all leading to a new life, they cannot see the
kingdom of God. There must be a power working from within, a new life
from above, before men can be changed from sin to holiness. That power
is Christ.
Those who have experienced the love of Christ cannot be idlers in the
Master’s vineyard. They will see opportunities for helping others in
their steps to Christ. Partaking of Christ’s love, they will labor for
the souls of others. Let every soul copy the Pattern, and become
missionaries in the highest sense, winning souls to Jesus.
May we all Repent, Confess, Grow up into Christ, and Rejoice in the Lord.
God wants the best for us and wants to bless us in every area of our lives. One of the ways He does this is by surrounding us with people who love and care for us. We’ve been created to be in relationship with one another, and loving families are one of the ways God tells us how He feels about us. These relationships can greatly strengthen and encourage us when we put Him in the center of our family circle.
From God’s perspective, a family isn’t just a group of people haphazardly thrown together. He has a specific reason for choosing certain individuals as family members. This doesn’t mean that all family members will be perfect; we’re all human and we each have our own flaws. However, His presence makes a family more than just the sum of each individual person. “For where two or three gather together as my followers, I am there among them” (Matthew 18:20, NLT).
God expresses His love through the family unit. He can bless the parents through the children, and the children through the parents. He can, and will, do amazing things if we just let Him do His work. “The Lord bless thee, and keep thee: The Lord make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: The Lord lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace” (Numbers 6:24-26).
The world doesn’t know God, and therefore has no idea what healthy family relationships look like. Families formed according to worldly standards can get caught up in strife and torn apart by negativity and bad influences. By contrast, the godly family has its origins in heaven. “For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named” (Ephesians 3:14, 15). Families who put Jesus first position themselves to receive abundant blessings; they stand out like a bright light in a dark room.
Being part of the family of God sets us apart from the world. It gives us access to His supernatural love, which is the most powerful force in the universe. As His children, we must be prepared to live in a spiritually dark environment that doesn’t recognize us. “Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him” (1 John 3:1, NKJV). In spite of that, we still have the ability—and the responsibility—to share that love with others.
One of the characteristics of membership in God’s family is that everyone is united in love. We don’t have to be perfect, just willing to let God work through us to reach others. “How good and pleasant it iswhen God’s people live together in unity!... It is as if the dew of Hermon were falling on Mount Zion. For there the Lord bestows his blessing,even life forevermore” (Psalm 133:1, 3, NIV). This is something we desperately need in a divided world.
To bless is to empower to succeed. In the Old Testament, Joseph succeeded and prospered greatly because God blessed him. Joseph flourished because God was with him; it’s the same way with families today. “Before you do anything,put your trust totally in God and not in yourself.Then every plan you make will succeed” (Proverbs 16:3, TPT). We succeed and prosper, both on an individual level and as a family, when we welcome God’s presence.
Do ever find yourself jealous of those fabulous figures you
see on the red carpet and in the movies, and wonder what is the secret
behind celebrity weight loss? A celebrity might get caught with some
candid photos of him or her on the beach, not looking so fit, and then a
month or two later they're posing for shots that show off their
fabulously toned figure or ripped abs. What really is the secret behind
celebrity weight loss, and why do we say it's good to be careful of
what you see happening with those superstars?
Favorite foods, Kal, and cardio - we talked to Henry Cavill about some of his favorite things, and found out why sweet potatoes are not among them.
One thing to remember about celebrity weight loss is that they often
don't care too much about their health but about their looks. They are
paid to look a certain way and many are willing to sacrifice their
overall health in order to achieve that look. Crash dieting, dangerous
supplements that do nothing but cause an artificially high heart rate,
and even surgery is not unusual when it comes to celebrity weight loss.
Sure, they look good but how much damage have they done to themselves
overall? Using dangerous products or following dangerous programs can
cause long-term damage to the heart, metabolism, blood sugar, and muscle
tone. In some extreme cases it can even shorten one's life! So while
celebrity weight loss may look good when they're filming a movie or
showing up for an awards show, it won't look so good a few years from
now when they're suffering the consequences.
In some cases however celebrity weight loss is achieved through safe
and natural means, and this is something that may interest you as well.
Many celebrities hire personal trainers and yoga instructors,
especially when preparing for a certain movie role or when getting into
shape for a special occasion, and in this regard you can do the same
thing. The same trainers that work on celebrity weight loss often have
programs that they design and then make available through DVD sets you
can follow at home. For example, Debbie Sieber's Slim in 6 program can
slim you down and get you toned in six weeks, safely and effectively.
Tony Horton has trained many celebrities and also has many DVD sets you
can follow for the same results. And trainers like this will no doubt
tell you that safe and effective celebrity weight loss can be achieved
but only if a program is followed carefully, along with the proper diet
and nutrition program.
You can achieve results much like the celebrity weight loss you see
if you follow a safe program and make sure those programs are designed
by experts. Rather than risking your health and safety through extreme
measures as some celebrities do, follow the better route of using the
same trainers and programs they do! After all, no amount of weight loss
and toning, even if it rivals celebrity weight loss, is worth risking
your health and your safety for the long-term.
You should not be embarrassed about wanting to get into better shape. You can shed those pounds with proven workouts like P90X and Hip Hop Abs!
