Hello Bloggers,
Today was our last day of training before spring break. The girls have worked their tails off this spring season and earned tomorrow afternoon off. Good work ladies! Even though it was rainy and the field was quite wet, practice must go on...we were able to use the Game On Arena to do our mid-off-season testing and have our Weekly match.
The girls were testing their T-test and 40 yard dash times. It's really cool because here at TCU we're High Tech. Who needs hand held stopwatches when you can use Digital Laser Timers!!
The main focus this spring has been to improve the players' initial 5-15 yard times and their mechanics. I spoke with Dr. Upton, our Strength and Conditioning coach, after all the testing and he said that on the T-Tests the players' turns were sharp and cleaner, which helped improve times. He was pleased to see the 40 times were faster as well. "The attitude is phenomenal. Their willingness to do the work makes my job easier," explained Upton.
After testing the team was divided in two and the players got to play an indoor game. Every week two new players are chosen to be captain and draft teams. Then those captains lead the team and are in charge of making any adjustments at half. Today we had a VERY close and high scoring game. The final was 11-9. Players on the winning teams get points, which are added up through out the entire season. I know there were a couple of players who were very happy to be receiving their first point of the season Hahaha!
