Team Workout

Plyos: 2 rounds of 2x10 for ricochet hops, rapid jumps, step-up jumps, squat jumps, and burpees.

3 rounds of lunges with the resistance band, stair-runs holding a medicine ball, marking shuffles, skaters, and a suicide.

Stations: 60 seconds on, 10 seconds rest for resistance band twists, mountain climbers, crunches with the medicine ball, plank, side plank (x2), pike pushups, supermans, wall-running, wall sit, skipping in place, pushups, single leg pumps (x2), "athletic position" (think up-downs, without the ups or downs), bridge thrusts, and jumping jacks.

A good workout tonight, but not as mentally taxing or physically draining as some of the past workouts. Partially, we're stronger, but it also has to do with how the workout is changing. We're incorporating new things and doing different kinds of movements, which take longer than beasting out a bunch of station exercises. Overall, I think this is a good direction for us, and I can't wait until we can get out onto the field, where we will be able to do more movement drills and SAQ work, in addition to all of the fun sprint and acceleration work.
