Championship teams don't just play together - they look the part, too. From the practice field to the sidelines, having a unified look builds pride, professionalism, and team spirit. That's where custom online stores come in.
Instead of coaches and parents scrambling to collect order forms, checks, and sizes, an online store puts everything in one place. Players, families, and fans can order exactly what they need - whether it's a practice tee, a travel hoodie, or a sideline jacket - right from their phone or laptop.
Here's the best part: coaches don't have to do the heavy lifting. Once the store is set up, everything is handled - from ordering to delivery. That means less time chasing down paperwork and more time focusing on football.
Even better, team stores can be designed with fundraising built in. A portion of every purchase can go back into your program, helping cover costs for equipment, travel, or team meals. It's an easy way to raise money while keeping your players and fans geared

The off-season is where good players become great. Fall may be months away, but the athletes who prepare now are the ones who dominate when the lights turn on. Here are three key tips to make your off-season count:
Build Strength & Speed
Football is a game of explosiveness. Focus on compound lifts like squats, power cleans, and deadlifts to develop strength. Pair your weight training with sprint work, agility ladders, and sled pushes to build game-ready speed. The combination of strength and quickness gives you an edge at every position.Â
Study the Game
Physical training matters, but football IQ separates the best players. Use the off-season to study film - your own games, your opponents, and even pros. Look for patterns: how defenses react to motion, how linemen give away their stance, or how top players position themselves. Film study sharpens your decision-making so you can play faster when it counts.
Prioritizes Recovery & Nutrition
Lifting heavy and grinding in the weight room means

When it comes to sports, gear isn't just about performance - it's about identity. One of the easiest ways teams stand out on the field is with custom helmet decals. Whether it's football, lacrosse, hockey, or baseball, helmet decals bring personality, pride, and professionalism to a team's look. At Sportdecals, we've seen firsthand which decal styles are fan favorites and program staples. Here's a breakdown of the most popular helmet decals today:
Team Logos
The classic and most recognizable option. A bold team logo on each side of the helmet instantly establishes team identity. Logos are often the centerpiece of a helmet design, using vibrant colors, metallic finishes, or even 3D textures to grab attention under the lights.
Award Decals
Nothing motivates players like recognition. Award decals - also called pride stickers - are small symbols placed on helmets to reward individual achievements like big plays, touchdowns, or hustle. From stars and paw prints to custom shapes that match a

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month - a time when communities everywhere come together to spread hope, educate others, and show support for those impacted by breast cancer. One of the most visible and inspiring ways this happens is through custom breast cancer awareness shirts - and schools play a huge role in making this movement bigger every year.
Why Custom Shirts Matter
Custom shirts do more than look good - they carry a message. Whether they're bright pink, feature a ribbon design, or display a powerful slogan, they unite everyone who wears them under a shared purpose: raising awareness.
For students, parents, teachers, and athletes, matching shirts help turn a game, pep rally, or school day into a statement. When an entire student section is in pink, it's impossible to ignore the cause they're supporting.
Plus, many schools use custom shirts as a way to raise funds for breast cancer research and support services. Proceeds often go toward local hospitals, nonprofits, or families

You know the feeling. You sit down to do one thing - just one! - and suddenly you're knee-deep in 47 unrelated tasks, 12 mental reminders, and 3 forgotten Amazon carts. Your brain is less "Zen garden" and more "browser with 37 tabs open, and one of them is playing music but you can't find it".Â
Welcome to the modern mind.
The Symptoms of Too-Many-Tabs Syndrome:
- You walk into a room and forget why. So you leave. Then remember halfway down the hall.
- You make a to-do list, then lose it, then rewrite it, then get distracted halfway through writing it again.
- You reply to a text in your head... but never actually send it.
- Your phone has 74 unread notifications and you do not want to talk about it.
Multitasking: A Lie We Tell Ourselves
Sure, you can eat lunch, answer emails, and listen to a podcast at the same time. But should you?Â
Sometimes, "multitasking" is just "doing a bunch of things poorly while forgetting what you started with".
