Shoes to Fill

By no means did I ever expect to be in this position. I have opportunity and promise in my corner. I want to create big shoes to fill when I leave for good. Hopefully this can create inspiration as well as aspiration. I feel a lot is up to me to change the environment. Once the ball gets rolling hopefully there is no reason for it to stop. I wasn't the most talented, so hopefully another can fill shoes and create ones larger for the next man.

New Direction

I have been putting a lot of thought behind some choices over the past few months. It wasn't until recently that I felt good about making an important decision. And here it is, I will compete again as a collegiate athlete. It may not be as groundbreaking as some news, but it will change my whole outlook towards this blog thing. Going back means less freedom to do what I want, but more structure and opportunities. I had to weigh out many variables for it. The main one was being who I needed to be across the board. I feel every relationship is important and many define exactly who I am. One more season could be the best decision I've ever made and also the worst. I am the master of my own domain and will do everything in my power to make this opportunity transpire into multiple opportunities. I want to become more of a student of the sport and learn as much as I can. Knowledge is power. Knowing is believing. Believing is hard, but hard isn't the same as impossible.

9/1/10

The day went as follows:

Dynamic warm-up

3x4x50 repeats
Turf was limited so I used the end zones as a variation.

Medball throws-Static, pre-hop, double pre-hop

Weight room
3x2 snatch @ about 40-45kg, I planned on six sets but my elbow felt a lil iffy so I stopped.
Squats-6@135, 3x4 @175
Side lunge squats w/DB- 2x6@25(total)
Eccentric Calf Raise-2x10@BW

Light Ab Series

Cool Down & Stretch


Heat was there on the turf. Didn't want to do too much and have it work against me. Weight room felt alright with lower body lifts. I'm no hero and will wait to be back to form. Can't wait to get to the season to see what it amounts to.
