Today in SAS I taught two of my favorite lifts. The back and front squat. It's funny to see how flexible kids are... We had a group of incoming freshman and 2 8th graders that were pretty much doing ass to ankle squats... Pretty damn impressive in my book. Today was our first passing league game. Here in AZ it's 5 round robin games that last 45 minutes. Game 1 highlights; we came out with jitters(which I expected due to how young we are) and played slow and with too much thinking. Tons of mistakes and really nothing to cheer about. After the game I got the team together and said, " well we have that out the way let's play ball." Game 2; we started to gain a little momentum but the kids were playing with no passion.... Another Coach Gant pep talk and then it clicked... Game 3; Defense stepped up and played big time against a school 2 divisions higher than us. We got the win. Game 4; It was back and forth the whole 45 minutes. What I liked was that on Offense we had drives not one pass touchdowns. I think that showed the character of our kids to not give up. Another victory against a school 2 Divisions higher than us. Overall I was pleased with our efforts, considerable improvements from when I came on board in Jan. Looking to get better, but also looking forward to the one day off before we hit the field again on Saturday morning.
