I wanted to thank all of you in advance for your efforts and to say that we are receiving wonderful parent, alumni, and friend support. It is truly amazing to hear from alumni that we have lost contact with and hope that we will continue to make them proud as the season goes on.
As we get closer to the season, I urge you to pay attention to your own progress physically, mentally, and technically. You are going down a wrong path if you are trying to compare yourself to others right now...focus on what you can control and do the best with what you have at the moment.
This definitely pertains to what Coach Besteman and I expect with attention to detail. If the voluntary conditioning program recommends 30' of ellipitical work done in intervals then don't do the recumbent bike on the fat burning level. Likewise, if you are using the ergometer for training use slides when recommended and monitor your rest levels appropriately. They make an enormous difference!
Attention to detail. If you're reading this blog regularly you probably notice when there's a typo; a single letter, a misspelled word, or a noun-verb disagreement. Do you think that your body will recognize when you change the work to rest ratio or change the medium of the workout? Absolutely...do your best.
