Twelfth day of workouts and we have transitioned into a more explosive, quick routine, except for the opening warm up jog - 15 minutes out, then return. By time the players returned, you would think that they had already worked out for three hours. Larry was soaking wet when he returned. Maybe the weekend got to him. Congratulations, by the way, Larry, on being named team captain and Honorable Mention All-American.
Though we were in sand today, our drills were shorter, quicker and to the point. The plan was to begin directly increasing the explosive endurance of each athlete. Amazing enough the times for each drill were very close, though our athletes ranged from about light to very heavy in weight. Good sign at least for the big men….lol. No, each drill has an optimal time limit, so we know if the kids are competing at a high speed.
Demetrius and Cecil showed it’s going to be an interesting battle for fastest man this year. Their times in the drills were excellent. Every time Cecil dropped a fast time, Demetrius followed up with something close or better.
At the end of practice, veteran Big Ron lost his keys. Turns out he had been training with them in his pocket all morning. After having us all down on our hands and knees looking for them. Julianne kicked the sand and said, "It’s a wrap!"
When he walked away, I noticed the keys in a pile of sand. Thank goodness!
