Preparing for sprints and running….

The other night as I showed up for the boys' freshman soccer game, I noticed the track field brimming with activity. It seems so early for track and field but no time to waste in training, right? Many of you have children who will competing in track meets soon and I'm sure many of you will soon be dealing with pulled hamstrings, groins, quads….you name it.

Kelly Starrett, of San Francisco CrossFit has a fantastic blog called Mobility Wod. He posts daily exercises that addresses all forms of essential body maintenance. Everyday's mobility workout should take less than 10 minutes. We highly recommend you all get into the habit of doing this daily. :)

So, get ahead of the game by learning to prepare your muscles, joints, tendons for the stress they are about to endure. This goes for all sports involving explosive speed and is beneficial for any form of running workout.

The above picture is from our sports camp this past summer. We intend to host more camps again this summer for high school kids (or some upper middle school if appropriate). Many of the athletes who took part in our speed and agility made great gains in their sports, such as football, soccer, lacrosse, baseball, and volleyball.
