Farm Workouts































Attached are a few a pictures from a day out at the farm with the team, during preseason. The boy's have a very difficult 2.4 mile loop that they can run in the shade. I recommend you ask any of our first year's what they thought when they first saw the hill. The training is all technical and fitness based but as important, the time to bond as a group. The lake is pristine and affords the group some well deserved R&R in between work outs. Plus we incorporated two discussions. One that focused on strengths of past players and a review of Focused For Soccer by Bill Beswick, a book the players read over the summer. A good friend smokes a pig for us and his mother puts together a spread of food that is second to none. Yet again this year, we had left overs. Which reflects how much food that is prepared. My dog tried to swim for the first time and sunk like a rock. We also had some remote controlled power boats, and while they shared the same frequency, you were able to amount duel attacks on unsuspecting swimmers.
