Summer Session

It has been a quick start to the summer. I will keep it short and simple. The first week of practice we took a couple test runs through the Canadian Strength Test, and then completed the real deal along with our long standing run test. It was good to see what strengths and weaknesses everyone had. It was also very encouraging to see the improvement that many had made over previous test.

The second week of practice we worked on being comfortable on skis with lot's of agility, and specific strength work. We also got back in to our strength circuit and the end of practice.

The third week of practice we got in to a couple of workouts though the emphasis was on specific strength and technique.

The third week was also the USSA Eastern Regional Elite Group Camp in Lake Placid at the Olympic Training Center. Gavin and Riley are part of this camp as well as Jason on the coaching side of things. In conjunction with the REG there is a U16 Camp as well. That included Ryan and Eric. The camp is going extremely well and we will have a recap of that forthcoming.

Next week we will all be back in the ROC getting after it before the 4th of July holiday weekend.
