Indoor Update - Jan 5, 2009

WE'RE UP AND RUNNING!!
While facilities will limit much of what we will be able to do, we want to take advantage of every opportunity we get to work out and improve ourselves. Indoor workouts are always dependent upon facilities, weather, etc.. It is important that you take advantage of every opportunity to become the best athlete possible. You will only hear/read this about 1000 times over the next five months: If you get beat by a much better athlete, so be it. Do not allow yourself to get beat by an opponent because they have worked harder or been better prepared than you. You can=t control natural ability. You can control your desire to excel and your work ethic. And in high school, the desire to excel and a good work ethic will usually defeat natural ability in the long run.

USU CAMPS
Those attending the USU Camps gained a great deal of information that will help in the future. Put the ideas to good use.
