February 2023 Sports Highlights at Benfield Sports Academy

Welcome to the February 2023 archive page. Here you’ll find everything we shared during that month – from quick training drills to big‑game recaps. If you’re looking for a fast way to catch up, you’re in the right spot.

Top Training Tips from February

We kicked the month off with a series of short videos on core strength for footballers. The key takeaway? A simple plank‑to‑push‑up combo can shave seconds off sprint times when done three times a week. We also posted a step‑by‑step guide on improving vertical jump for basketball players. The guide boiled down to three moves: goblet squats, box jumps, and ankle mobility stretches. Readers told us they saw noticeable gains after two weeks.

Mid‑month we turned the focus to youth gymnastics. Our article broke down a 15‑minute warm‑up routine that keeps little athletes safe while boosting flexibility. The routine uses a sequence of cat‑cow stretches, dynamic lunges, and light hand‑stand drills. Parents loved the clear visuals and the short time commitment.

To finish the training series, we shared a sprint‑technique checklist for track runners. The checklist highlighted three things: posture, arm swing, and foot strike. Each point came with a quick drill you can do on a school field without any equipment. The response was high – many coaches printed the list and posted it in their gyms.

What You Missed – Key News & Events

February was busy on the competition side, too. We covered the regional football tournament where Benfield’s U‑15 team reached the finals for the first time in five years. The match report highlighted the winning goal scored from a corner kick, and we linked to a highlight reel that got over 2,000 views.

We also reported on the indoor basketball league that kicked off in early February. Our recap focused on how the new half‑court rules changed game flow. Coaches from other schools asked for our take on the rule change, and we posted a follow‑up Q&A to help them adapt.

Beyond sports, we announced a free community workshop on nutrition for teen athletes. The workshop featured a local dietitian who explained how to balance carbs and protein after a hard training day. Attendance exceeded expectations, and we posted a photo gallery and a downloadable meal‑plan template.

Has an NFL team ever scored 100 points?
Has an NFL team ever scored 100 points?

The NFL record for most points scored in a single game is held by the Washington Redskins, who scored 72 points in a game against the Giants in 1966. However, it is highly unlikely that any NFL team has ever scored 100 points in a single game due to the rules and regulations of the league. The highest combined score in a single NFL game is 113 points, set when the Los Angeles Rams defeated the Baltimore Colts in 1950. Additionally, the highest point total by a team in a single quarter is 45 points, set by the Kansas City Chiefs in 2003. As a result, it is safe to say that an NFL team has never scored 100 points in a single game.

Athletes have an increased risk of developing heart problems compared to the general population.
