Ultimate Fitness

Monday practice, Porter decided to bring in some excercises from that Ultimate fitness video by Brian Doo from DoG.

My opinions on it? Logical, but probably ineffective for the team. The concept that they use, breaking down speed and quickness into the small motions, arm pumping, foot pushing, etc. is not a bad idea. I could definitely see the benefit in training speed step by step, but as a team, doing the excercises they give us are probably not going to work. Why? Because first, as a team, we have a set number of reps that we have to do. When training, you should determine your reps and sets based on your own physical ability, not the average of the team's athleticism, which I am sorry to say... sucks ass.

Secondly, not enough time. I'm pretty sure there's more excercises that Porter had not used because given the amount of time we have at practice (2-3 hours) there's not really much we can do before we have to move onto a drill or scrim.

So in my opinion, if you're going to use Ultimate Fitness, do it by yourself or with a partner. You'll probably see more improvement out of individual work.

Hip Hop on Pop this Saturday. First game with Neshaminy. No idea how this team is, but I plan to destroy them, crush them, humilate them, rape them, own them, whatever the hell you want to call it.
