This morning, SDSC's own Micaela Holland led a terrific session on explosion and power. Micaela is the head alpine ski coach at Clarkson University, where her team completes in the highly competitive MacConnell division with schools like Brown, UMass, Babson, and Castleton State. Before coaching, Micaela raced for Bates College, where she led the Bobcats to the NCAA Division I championships for three out of her four years. She brought her vast knowledge of skiing into her session, alternating between breaking the group into smaller stations and then bringing everyone together to practice technique. She emphasized how all of the other elements of B-A-S-E combine when thinking about explosion. There were medicine balls, boxes, hurdles, and even parachutes. The parachutes were particularly popular, and those who have been testing all week completed their 40 second box jump test.
It is turning into a scorcher of a day, and we are definitely looking forward to jumping into the water this afternoon at the Waterbury State Park!
