First Practice is Tomorrow

And boy am I excited! I put together what I think will be a pretty fucking tough workout for everybody to complete. Do you want to see it? No? Well, fuck it, I'm going to show it to you anyway!

6 100 yard sprints with a 30 second recovery between each.
4 backpedal/sprint shuttle runs.
6 70 yard sprints with a 30 second recovery between each.
2 20 second partner shadow drills.
6 40 yard sprints with a 30 second recovery between each.
2 20 second foot fires.
3 suicides at lengths of 10 and 20 yards.
2 100 yard sprints.
2 70 yard sprints.
2 40 yard sprints.
2 20 yard sprints.
Stretch.
4 sets of 15 pushups.
Ab workout.
30 backhands.
30 forehands.

Looks intense, huh? It didn't seem so crazy when it was in my head, but I just kept coming up with more and more things that I want to do and now I have this gargantuan list. But I'm still excited; this is the first step towards creating the most explosive team that I have ever played for.

I've been swapping emails with a lot of different people. I sent several to the team clarifying what our tournament schedule is going to be. I've also been corresponding with one of our RSO advisers, who is going to try to schedule us gym space as a team. Two years ago, we were able to get Boyden once a week from 10pm to midnight, and that was fantastic. Last year, the only availability was Friday morning from 8am to 10 am, and that was all but worthless. Hopefully we can get some sort of schedule that is more reminiscent of two years ago. Oh, and I also received an email from the captain of Amherst College, who is looking to scrimmage us a couple of times before Spring Break. That would be phenomenal, since we otherwise aren't going to be able to get onto a feild at all before tournament season starts. Amherst College has a nice turf feild under the lights, which would be great to play on. I should email Ben and see if we can get something together to head out to Bentley and play on their feild sometime in the next month or so....

Anyway, as you can see, exciting things are in the works. It was one thing to think about the season a couple weeks ago, when I was building up a solid foundation. The season just felt so fucking long away. Now, though, with the first team practice breathing down my throat, it feels as if we have no time at all. We are going to absolutely slay ourselves at practice this season. There is nothing that I would rather do.
