Summer Is Here - Don't be a Bummer

Fighting Squirrels, I hope you are all enjoying a wonderful summer.  Your away from school, getting that good food, enjoying not having classes and relaxing.  But, are you getting ready for the upcoming seasons.  If you think you can wait until August and get ready for the season, especially if you are a soccer or volleyball player or a cross country runner, you are kidding yourself.  The summer workouts are on the web page.  You must do more than jog around for 2 or 3 miles.  Please get in a weight room.  I know the excuses money, time , job, "I need to relax";  CAN IT!!  You can makes excuses or you can make gains.  You have a choice.
Ask yourself the following questions:
Have I been working out consistently?
Have I been challenging myself?
Am I in better shape now than I was when I played last year?
Am I doing my best at every workout session?
Am I ready to make a difference at Mary Baldwin College?
If you honestly answered yes to all of these questions; good for you.  Keep at it, you will be part of the class that turns around our athletic program.  You can be proud of yourself.
If you are shaking your head and saying I can't make a difference, you need to reevaluate your situation.  I have faith in you.  Do you have faith in yourself?
