On Sunday Feb 27 we held our second training camp for the softball team that's going to Athens in June/July 2011 for the SO worlds Olympics. our original training camp was held in October where we tested the athletes for their physical condition. The purpose of the most recent tests were to see if they have made any progress on their fitness over the winter.
Boy did they ever, if they were a little down in one test they more than made it up in another. There were personal bests in most tests by the athletes. The results will be sent on to Toronto to Team Canada HQ for their info. I can't see them not being happy with them. Makes you feel good as a coach to see the results of your winters work come out so successful, most of the praise goes to the players for their hard work but it feels like you are doing something right.
After the boys were through with their hard days tests we all went to the Delta Prince Edward for supper. This was a reward for them for all the work they have done over the winter, we had a buffet of Greek food to get them in the mood, personally I think if that is what we have to look forward to for 18 days than I believe there is a good chance I will lose some weight in Greece, this would not be a bad thing.
Till next time
Lew.
