Woooweee! It's Practice!

Doesn't it seem like only yesterday that we were yelling and screaming at each other in the sweltering heat of Attitash? And it seems like only a few days before that when we were freezing our nuts off in Newport. I'm sure for many of you the memories are all too vivid, and have yet to be turned in to fond recollections by forgetfulness or the passing of time.

You:"Remember that time we went to Syracuse?"

Me:"Ugh, don't remind me"

Well gird your loins fellas, 'cos the craziness is about to kick off all over again. Next week we'll begin the process of getting in mental and physical shape for the Fall season by re-instating Tuesday / Thursday practices at Fox Street from 6pm to 8pm. The intent is to devote Tuesdays primarily to fitness and Thursdays to skills, so if you're forced to choose between the two, keep your own particular shortcomings in mind. Of course, if you want my opinion (and that of the rest of your teammates, who talk about you behind your back), you definitely need to be at both.

We plan to have Barbara Lisa reprise her role as Fitness Coach, so those of you with a hard-on for her particular brand of sadism should form an orderly queue, and plan on throwing up at least once. Talk to those guys who worked out with her in the Winter, and they'll tell you that she does a body good.

Of course, no amount of flogging by Barb one night a week is going to get you in the kind of shape you really need to be in, so put down the hot dog, step away from the grill, and go dust of your gym shorts tubby. Honestly, look at yourself.
