Strength Training Results Are In!

The newly implemented strength training program under the leadership of Mark Asanovich has been highly successful this season. His philosophy to strengthen the body then train it to play volleyball has brought major success to our athletes. The body composition measurements before and after this year’s  strength training sessions truly attest to the improvements that have been made with only two end of practice 1/2 hour workouts a week. Our players lost extra body fat and replaced it with solid muscle in differing amounts but, across the board, all players that participated saw positive results. Thank you players and coaches for putting in the effort to help this succeed.  Sincere thanks to you Mark!

From the Director!

Be Driven to Play My Best! Let's be thinking! Thank you to Coach Chris Severns, 18-1s, for the following comments from thepostgame.com. Hundreds of college athletes were asked, "What is your worst memory from playing youth and high school sports?" Their overwhelming response, "The ride home from the games with my parents." The same athletes were asked what their parents said that made them feel great, that amplified their joy during and after the game. The overwhelming response, "I love to watch you play!"
