This morning we welcomed Justin Sperry to SDSC to run our final B-A-S-E session on Explosion. Justin is the head coach at Colby-Sawyer College in NH after being the head coach at Clarkson University for the last 2 years. A former Division 1 skier himself at Colby College, Justin returned to camp after serving as a counselor here over four years ago. Since working at SDSC, he has also coached at Steamboat Springs Winter Sports Club and Bates College.
Justin compared explosion to coiling a spring, pushing us to absorb any landing and then getting as tall as possible in the top of our jump. He brought us through exercises with boxes, hurdles, parachutes, and medicine balls, and ended with a fun game of Quebec ball. Although it was our last instructional session of camp and everyone was feeling their legs, campers rallied to give a great final effort.
This afternoon we head back to Cady Hill for some more mountain biking, and then we celebrate tonight with a cookout and inflatables!
