Getting Serious (Again)

Well, during a relaxing weekend at home, I was educated by my father and brother in the art of becoming an excellent athlete. Basically, I need to focus on my weaknesses, eat 290 grams of protein per day, and start olympic lifting. That means working on my hamstrings and butt, as well as my calves and quads. In order to get better at ultimate in a real way, I need to gain serious muscle in my legs. This will make me faster/stronger/quicker/higher-jumping, and more injury resistant. And that will make me great.

I did squats today, but light. I will call Panos Prokos or whatever his name is tomorrow in order to set up some olympic training.

In other news, I've decided to put together a 6 week plan for ultimate, which should take us to our first tournament. During that time we'll decide an A-team, and learn all of the necessary skills. I'm going to send it out to the council of elders so that they can review it and let me know what they want to change or emphasize, so that we can me more coherent and united at practices. It's a big job, but it's what I love doing.
