Coronavirus Sucks Workout
Gentlemen, I hope all is well and I know this is a weird and difficult time but now is a time to accomplish great things. Character is defined as “the mental and moral qualities distinctive to an individual”. It is also often defined by people as “what you do when NO ONE is watching”. Regardless of whatever definition you use a majority of your success this fall is now COMPLETELY UP TO YOU. What are you going to do?
Below is a complete training session you can do to PREPARE for the season. This can be done by yourself or with teammates (obviously be smart and practice social distancing). I’m recommending doing this 4 or 5 times a week. You can alternate the workouts throughout the week or you can choose to do the same workout throughout one week. The Owl Special is to be used as a workout itself or is some cases you are asked to choose from that column to complete your own workout. I also understand if you have to break up the workout throughout the day but do your BEST to complete it.
It is very important that we don’t just sit around on the couch doing nothing…we want to be prepared and ready to roll right back into the swing of things when this is all over.
Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions or comments.
Stay safe.
Go Owls!!!
