This afternoon, SDSC's own Micaela Holland ran our final instructional session of Week 1, focused on power and explosive movement. After a highly successful racer at Bates College with multiple NCAA Championship appearances, Micaela began her coaching career at GMVS. From there she served as the head coach at Clarkson University, and most recently finished her first year as head coach at her alma mater this winter.
Micaela ran us through a series of six stations with various explosive movements, from throwing medicine balls to box jumps to two-footed broad jumps. Micaela emphasized three central aspects of explosion, all of which were incorporated into the stations: force, velocity, and power. There were definitely some tired legs here at the end of the week, but it was very impressive to see everyone's determination to get the most out of the session under a hot sun (finally!). It was also really great to see how balance, agility, speed, and explosion all came together on the last day to solidify everything we have worked on so far this week.
Tonight we look forward to our final night celebration, with a cookout, ice cream, and inflatables! Everyone get your dancing shoes on!
