Wow! I am so impressed by our athletes and excited for this season. They are enthusiastic, motivated, and such a great group, thank you for sharing them with Tigres.
We also are blessed with an amazing coaching staff who are talented, knowledgeable, and invested in teaching your athletes proper mechanics and having fun while doing it. Your kids are in great hands.
For these next few weeks, please pick up your athletes at 5:45 pm as it gets dark on the field and we don’t have lights. I will let you know when we are able to extend to 6:00pm, likely after daylight savings time change.
They may be a little sore over the next few days, they really attacked Warrior Wednesday with heart. Encourage stretching (I like this resource: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1gk_tHVxn4), rest, hydration.
The early season is all about developing aerobic capacity; here is a workout suggestion for this Saturday:
Sprinters:
- 10minutes easy pace cross country run on your own
- 4 x 100m strides
Distance:
- 2.5 miles easy pace cross country run on your own
Thanks for reading! See you all on Monday. Specialty practices (long jump, high jump, shot put, relays) start next Tuesday for interested athletes. Have a great weekend!
