For the first time we are doing the weight room and speed and agility with the girls soccer team. One of the incoming freshmen who is very enthused and a nice kid asked me after we had completed one of our speed drills, "Coach Kelley, how do I get faster? "I smiled and told her that it will come. There's lots of drills that we can do, I told her to remember the ones that we were doing today and then I would send them out to the kids so that they can do them on their own, and that she should time herself in a 40 yard dash today and then again in six weeks. She also asked me for drills to do, Yoga videos to watch. I love her enthusiasm and appreciate her willingness to put the work in and get better. I had to remind her, and myself constantly and we don't have to get it all done right now. This weight room and speed and agility work, are going to look ugly this year. And that's OK. As coaches we sometimes feel like there's so much to do, and we wanna shove it all down their throats, and we don't have to.
