Yesterday

Every once in awhile there are days when a workout clicks. Yesterday was one of those days with Venice volleyball. It was the last workout before spring break, it was one of those chamber of commerce Florida spring days with a high blue sky in our weight room without walls (AKA – the Parking Lot). This group of young athletes gets it and yesterday it really clicked. We are nearing the end of a training phase and six of the young ladies are into their second year of training. The concentration and energy was above the norm which is already high. The baseball coach came over to see part of the workout because his assistant had told him how impressed he was with the kids. He was equally impressed. If you came and watched the workout you would see organized chaos, but if you observe closely you will see great quality, teamwork, communication among the athletes and a buy in to a work ethic that creates an atmosphere were champions are inevitable. I think a lot of it traces back to the coach Brian Wheatley who sets a high level of expectation and does not compromise his core beliefs. I am so lucky to be working with these kids, they are very special. I do not know if they will win a championship next year, but they are giving themselves a good opportunity, regardless they are already champs in my book.
