Training September 24th to September 30th
This week will be focusing primarily on testing.
While a certain amount of anxiety is to be expected you need to keep this in perspective.
The purpose of the tests is to primarily track year to year fitness gains.
There is also the secondary purpose of team selection; however your prior season results will always trump the tests.
Mostly the standards that have been set forth are to give incoming students something to shoot for
and ensure that all those that we keep on the roster can safely and competently train with the team.
If you are sick or injured do not push through this week, that will be counterproductive,
simply let me know and we can work it out.
