It's that time, it's time to start your training plan for 2004-5 in
earnest. If you are not part of the SEISSC club check with your
coach, I am sure they have similar suggestions to helping you get
where you need to be.

SEISSC Club Coach commitment to Our Skaters

1. Fitness Assessment - Each skater needs to come to my house at
least once a month for a fitness assessment, otherwise you don't
know if you are on track or not.
2. 1-on-1 Training Sessions - Set up regular or once in a while
sessions to do workouts with me, I make myself available, if you
have the desire, I'll make the time. But don't expect great results
unless you can do it regularly and workout in between.
3. Individual Training Plans - If you are 13 years or older you
need a personalized training plan.
4. Mini Camps - See Schedule below.
5. Skate Carrer Planning - If you are 14 or older you should start
thinking about your long term objectives.
6. Group Training Sessions - Over the summer there will be group
dryland training starting at 2pm at Reedy Creek Park on the 2nd and
4th Sundays
of the Month.

What you should be doing.

1. Make the decision to get in the best shape of your life this
year.
2. Take advantage of club opportunities and other camps over the
summer.
3. Skate at least twice a week, indoor, outdoor, wheels, Ice, speed
practice, public session or whatever.
4. Attend at least 4 meets this year.
5. Make sure you have the right equipment, jig, skates etc.

approach to the sport, safe but fearless.

"The will to win is important, but the will to prepare is
vital."
- Joe Paterno

You have to learn to love the journey, the workouts, pushing
yourself,and practices afterall, this sport is 98% preparation and
2% execution. If you're not having fun, your're not doing it right.
