Well it is less than 100 days until we will be in Athens, Greece for our great adventure. We started in the fall of 2009 to prepare for the Canadian games had a month off, was invited to join Team Canada and have been training ever since. It will be nice to finally get to Greece, enjoy the games and get back home here in good old P.E.I. I am going to put my feet up, relax and enjoy myself with other projects that have been on the back burner.
Today I want to send a big thank-you to Tera who is teaching our athelets mental prepardness. She meets with the boys occasionally either in a small group or one at a time to teach them how to prepare themselves mentally for the game. Some need it more than others and you can see a change in their attitude since she join our training sessions. Thanks again Tara, you can be sure that your hard work will make a big difference in our performance in Athens.
Well as I said before we are getting close to going to Athens. Richard addressed the team at our last practice and stated our time is getting short so we will be in game mode from now on as the last push for the Games. They are all starting to get quite exited about the Games so they all seem ready to put in the extra effort we will require from them. We also gave them this Thursday off with no practice as a break for them before we pick up the intensity of our practices. I don't know about the rest of the coaches but I am looking forward to the extra time off. the practices are held inCharlottetown And three players and I live in Summerside. It is a trip of 125 KM return and between last year and this year I will be making over 100 return trips to train.
We have one more coach helping us get the team ready so I will mention him in my next column.
