Two weeks of off-season down and just five more weeks to go. The last two weeks have been pretty hectic but all in all they have gone really well.
Our team work ethic is awesome! It's one thing to work hard on the playing field, but when that hard work carries over to the weight room it's just exciting to see! Everyone is really pushing themselves! It's awesome!!
On top of our regular workouts each year, Ray, our strength coach, divides us up into two teams so that we can compete in what we call "Survivor Challenges." Survivor Challenges are random races or competitions that we compete in every Monday and Friday at the end of our workouts. The losers of each competition have to do some sort of punishment, so you can imagine how competitive we get.
This year, we were able to choose our own teams and also come up with our own team names. Two people were chosen as team captains and the picking began.
Team one, also known as the "Fatty's", consists of Morgan, Nicole, Joy, Lisa, Lindsay Park, Jill, Rocky, and Jessica.
Team two, known as the "Big Bodies", consists of Sherah, Lindsay Wilhelmson, Me, Jana, Christina, Sharonda, Kristin, and Laura.
As you can see, our team does not have any problems with weight issues.
So far we have competed in 5 Survivor Challenges. The Fatty's have the lead right now, winning 3 of the 5 challenges. But hopefully that won't last too long!
Our individual sessions have also been going on for the past two weeks. We go to these one-hour sessions in groups of four twice a week. I cannot speak for our entire team, but the session I have been going to is doing really great! Everyone is working really hard to strengthen their game! We keep getting better and better each day!
That is about all that is going on in Aggieland, till next time...
