Getting stronger by the day!

6:00 a.m. workouts have begun!  The girls have been really energetic this week with getting up so early.  We ran eight suicides in eight minutes on Monday, and we started our first day of lifting weights.  I've been really impressed with our performances in the weight room.  I can tell that most of the players lifted this summer.  We also had a team dinner at Buffalo Wild Wings, and that was a lot of fun!  10 percent of the sales between 7:00 and 9:00 that evening went to our program.

Yesterday we went threw a series of stations of basketball movement drills, cardio drills, and core work drills.  For the first time to do stations, the kids really picked up on them quickly. 

Today we ran a 100 yard suicide.  You sprint to the 10 yard line and jog back to the starting line, then sprint to the 20 yard line and jog back.....you do this all the way to the 100 yard line!  Think that's tough?  Well it's not over!  Once you're done with the 100 yard sprint, you go back to the 100 yard line and jog back and go backwards.  Sprint to the 90 jog back, sprint to the 80 jog back, 70, 60.....
It was a great cardio and mental workout! The girls lifted day two in the weight room after the 100 yard suicide.

I am looking forward to a great ending to the week!
