Week 1 of Training Team Season

We just finished our first week of practice which consisted of meetings, contracts, questions, battle plans (so to speak) and future events. Once we finished the business part of the day, we began the first of many, many spins and turn patterns. We did a little bit of stretching and warming up and got right into doing spin drills and patterns.

We had a few accidental drops to the floor but that comes without saying. Balance is definitely something that is learned along the way. We split the ladies and the guys up so we can focus on their individual type of spinning. The guys were sort of going through convulsions when I switched up their usual axle turns. It was definitely a http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qORouZ-qOgg type of moment. The guys had a bit of a hard time adjusting to the way we broke down axle turns but they eventually got it.


We spent a lot of time with the girls. Their ability to spin is of utmost importance on the team. They have to be able to spin properly as well as clean. Technique is going to be drilled in their heads all season for sure. But by the time practice was over....they survived. It is after all, only week one!  I am looking forward to seeing them blossom from being barely able to spin, to being spin masters by the end of the season. Some people get that exciting adrenaline rush performing, well Ralph and I get it when we see our teams perform. Its just a great feeling. 


Until Tuesday.......happy spinning!
