After a couple of decent training sessions on Monday and Tuesday, was really impressed with the energy the team brought out today. It's always tough to shake off the spring break blues after a week away, so I challenged the team on Tuesday to really ramp things up after a Wednesday day off. And man did they-it was great today-players sliding all over the place, great finishing, great goalkeeping-was one of our most enthusiastic sessions of the spring.It started off on a great note when I showed up to the field and a group of players were already out working on some finishing and other things with Coach Mark and Michelle. Every coach always loves to see that and the culture here within our program is such that players always do extra work on their own.
Then we got after it with a bit of 1v1 and 2v2 work-the intensity was great!!!!! After that we finished with one of our favorite games 2 minutes/2 goals. The group gets broken into 3 teams and they play intense games where the team that scores 2 goals or is winning after 2 minutes stays on. Not even sure which team ended up winning, but the two losing teams had to jump in the goal for butts up, where Nikki Wilbur decided to smack coach Michelle (she was on one of the losing teams) 3 times!!! It was great.
