In tonight's evening practice, the Irish had a great conditioning practice where they competed in the "Obstacle Course" - a combination of agility drills, sled work and hustle! From there it was time for Chalk Talk, where the team laid our their goals for the coming season:
1 - At least 5 wins!
2 - Get our lone SR, Chris Fisher to the Shrine Bowl!
3 - Team Pride!
4 - Team Unity!
5 - Everyone who starts the season, finishes the season!
6 - Stay positive!
I felt it was a great time for the players to sit down and get on the same page as one another. We reviewed not just our team goals but personal goals as well. As I said to them "I am not a perfect coach; and you are not the perfect players - but together, we will get better everyday!" Our focus is always to improve every day and with the team setting their own goals, they also have something to stay focused on.
Following Chalk Talk, the defense took the field to showcase what they just reviewed. It will be an interesting season for the 2010 Fightin' Irish because we are not in a league this season, but the players believe in the system and with hitting practice soon upon us, the guys are ready to keep working hard.
Remember to re-hydrate and re-fuel after practice as well as stretching on your own at home.
Keep up the hard work guys!
