Catching Up...

We are continuing our morning workouts for all incoming 9th through 12th graders, Monday-Wedsneday-Friday at 7 am as well as having the weight-room open each day after school at 2:45 Monday through Thursday...
We have had a pretty good turn out in the morning so far, from about 12-25 players. We have been getting a lot of really good work done, reviewing technique and making sure that our drills are run correctly so that we get the most out of our time spent.  We are also reviewing and revamping our play calling and sideline communication.
Our after school workouts have not been as populated however and the coaching staff would love to see more students in the weight-room after school.  Of course we have a great representation of our athletes competing in all spring sports and we will continue to support our players to participate in all aspects of Miner athletics! Having said that, if you are not participating in a spring sport we would like to have everyone in the weight-room as we will be amping up our workouts with some very good strength and conditioning program. We will be implementing several new and very effective techniques that we are excited to see the results of.
Lastly, we will continue to have the sign-in sheet at the office desk in the weight-room. So, please make sure you come up and initial the sign-in sheet. We are keeping close track of who is working out after school and who is doing a spring sport.  Remember, that continuing on a good strength and conditioning, healthy diet and good rest are the best way to prevent injuries and guarantee that the coaching staff is seeing your great work ethic will pay-off in a chance at increased playing time and the possibility of earning a starting position on the Frosh, JV or Varsity team.
The past two weeks have been going well, now lets step it up and keep the edge on any of our 2012 opponents!
