Hello squirrels. I know, two posts in one week who would believe it. I have been here at Mary Baldwin for the volleyball camp and have been thinking a lot about the upcoming year. As I stated in the last blog, there are 10 weeks left to get competition ready before the season starts. What did you this week to become a champion?
Here is a sample of my workouts this week:
Sunday - easy 4 miles run, push ups and pull ups
Monday - weight training; bench, lat pull, press, seated row, curls, triceps push, core work
Tuesday - one mile run, then circuit course on the track, 1/2 mile cool down.
the circuit course include step ups. body weight squats, pull ups, push ups, leg flutters, lunges
Wednesday - Weight training (see Monday)
Thursday - 2 mile run with step ups and power jumps.
Did you do at least what you see above? If not, why not? You are a young, healthy athlete. You have to compete against other young, healthy athletes. That high fitness level can make up for a lot of deficits in talent. If you can continue to play at a high level late in the game you can steal victories from teams with more talent. If you are in condition when you come to school your coaches can concentrate on increasing your skill level and not have to worry about your conditioning.
Please, no more excuses; hit the track, hit the weights and get in condition.
March on squirrels.
