Getting back into the swing of things

It has been a hectic week but a good one thus far. Between unexpected students, family illness, and one of our very own being hospitalized, it has been a very busy start of the new year. I was busy taking care of personal business the first two days but am glad to be back.

It has been too hot to go to the track. I need these guys to be in shape both mentally and physically, which is why we do the things we do during our offseason. However, common sense prevails when the thermometer is over 100 degrees. Physical and mental conditioning is not worth jeopardizing a kids health. There will be plenty of time for conditioning on the track when the weather allows. Until then, its lots of weights, plyometrics and skill development.

The kids are off to a good start with their work ethic. During our weight sessions there has been hardly any chatter among them. This means that they are working too hard to be talking and visiting, and that is a good thing.
