Practice Working Out

I decided to kick the funk I've been in these last few days and err on the side of working out too much. I went to the track and ran a mile, then did some basic plyos and stretched. I biked over to the gym around 3:25, only to find that some n00b gym class had it reserved until 3:45. Partly in order to get a good workout, and partly out of vindictive frustration, I rode back to the track and ran two more miles before returning to the gym and getting a nice upper body workout focusing on core and shoulders.

I also found some sweet new pump up songs: 'Till I Collapse -- Eminem, and The Second Coming -- Juelz Santana + Just Blaze. They join Lose Yourself and Remember the Name as my set of theme songs. In an athletic sense at least. In my own head.

In terms of practices, I'm tired of doing real general practices. I'm ready to start MoHo focus on skills that will make people noticeably better. For this first practice, we're going to start real basic and work on cutting form and technique.

1. Cut to a point and back drill -- focus on getting low, chopping your steps, pushing off and stepping over with your point foot; cutting form.
2. Cut to a person standing still and break right/left -- getting used to the idea of driving at someone's chest and rocking them back on their hips; technique.
3. Triple cut drill -- every time you change direction you gain a step on your man; how bad do you want it?
4. Start ahead and seal drill -- get them on your shoulder, proactively prevent the d.
5. One-on-one cutting drill -- put it all together and get open.

We'll see how that is recieved and implimented.
