After practice we went straight to the Abbotsford Rec center to lift. We kind of took over the place. Nineteen athletes, six coaches, and a manager filming it all! Pretty large entourage we roll with. We have a new strength and conditioning coach to add to our support staff, Chad Benson. He is implementing a whole new system. We spent the hour learning a new set of lifting vocabulary. The whole session was filmed so that when we are on our breaks over the summer we can review the correct form for all the lifts.
This evening we don't practice but have a little film to watch and a meeting with our sports psych Roger.
Downtime is filled with treatments, naps, and a little reading or tv watching.
To answer the questions from the last post, Kelsey Adrian is attending summer school and will not be able to join us this year.
Our coaching and support staff:
Head coach- Allison
Assistant coaches- Fabian, Lisa and Mike
Physio- Joan, Marcel
Sports psych- Roger
Strength and conditioning- Chad
Manager- Liv
Not exactly sure how to spell all their last names and it is time for treatment so I hope first names are good enough!!
Thanks for the replies!
ReplyDeleteIf you could tell a younger you some advice for trying out for the team, what would it be? What have you learned through your career that you wish you knew earlier?
