THE VICTORY REPORT
Welcome to The Victory Report, Victory Athletic’s weekly newsletter featuring fitness news, workouts, athlete highlights, and performance
tips to help you train and compete at your best.
In this edition: youth speed and agility essentials, hydration and electrolyte options, and why mobility matters for long-term
health and performance.
ESSENTIALS FOR YOUTH SPEED AND AGILITY
With youth sports schedules today, building the essential foundations for speed and agility requires consistency and keeping it relaxed
and fun. Between club, school, and town team practices, along with schoolwork and overlapping seasons, it can be hard to
build the consistency a young athlete needs to get faster and more athletic.
We’re not suggesting young athletes should work harder or that parents need more stress by adding yet another practice. Our youth
speed program should be done when the athlete has free time and is designed to build good habits that lead to speed and agility.
Our program develops ankle stiffness, proper form and efficiency, knee lift, acceleration, and explosiveness.

WHAT’S YOUR ELECTROLYTE/HYDRATION CHOICE?
As the importance of hydration and electrolytes to performance has become widely accepted, the number of hydration and electrolyte
powder brands has exploded. Below we compare the ingredients in four popular electrolyte powders so you can decide based on your
exercise needs and goals.
Once training habits are in place, recovery and hydration become the next key pieces of performance. Here’s a quick comparison of
several popular electrolyte options.
LIQUID IV: Per serving: *510mg of sodium, *390mg of potassium, along with Vitamin C and B vitamins for energy, *11g of sugar
SKRATCH: Per serving: *400 mg of sodium, *50 mg of potassium, *50 mg of magnesium, *50 mg of calcium, *19 grams of sugar
ROAR: Per serving: *100 mg of Sodium, *1000 mg of Vitamin C, plus B and D, *2 grams of sugar
INSTANT: Per serving: *500 mg of sodium, *470 mg of potassium, *100 mg of magnesium, *0 grams of sugar
The right choice depends on your training demands, sweat loss, and sugar preferences, so compare labels carefully and match
your hydration strategy to your activity level.
MOBILITY ...
Mobility is the ability to move freely and easily, yet it’s easy to take that ability for granted. Whether it’s getting into your car, reaching for
a plate in the cabinet, or walking to the mailbox, movement is essential to everyday life.
For athletes, injuries to the ankles, knees, hips, hands, or head can interrupt training and competition. Surgery and physical therapy
may be necessary, and recovery depends on consistency, patience, and the goal of getting healthy first.
For the general population, the risks to mobility can come from many different injuries and illnesses. Staying active and taking care
of your health matter even more when you remember how much daily independence depends on movement.
A loved one suffered a serious cerebral stroke a few years ago. It was a frightening experience, but early treatment, the power of prayer,
and a strong desire to recover led to a positive long-term outcome.
A childhood friend suffered a serious stroke ten years ago and underwent life-saving brain surgery that left lasting neurological deficits.
After months of rehabilitation, he now walks with a cane and continues to lift weights and walk regularly to maintain his fitness into his
late 60s. Stay tuned for our next Victory Report, where we’ll share the inspiring story of how he overcame a childhood disability to
become a Division I athlete.
Newton’s first law of motion applies to the human body: an object in motion tends to stay in motion. Do whatever it takes to keep
moving and stay healthy.
