It used to be that summer was break for home team skaters, but last year I planned a little bit of a postseason schedule and this year I planned a little bit of a postseason schedule and training planned a little bit of a C team, and that's been shaking itself out. But I'll tell you the best thing I did this season was extend postseason through August so preseason starts after Labor Day, so here's my next twelve weeks:
| SUN | MON | TUE | WED | THU | FRI | SAT |
| SLEEP | SLEEP | SLEEP | SLEEP | SLEEP | SLEEP | SLEEP |
| front room | bedroom kitchen | WORK | bedroom kitchen | WORK | bedroom kitchen | SkateForm |
| Review & Plan | HOBBY | WORK | HOBBY | WORK | HOBBY | bathroom |
| Referee kettlebell | HOBBY | PASTIME | KettleBox MMS | RowStrike | HOBBY | HOBBY |
| PASTIME | Agility | PASTIME | C Team | PASTIME | PASTIME | PASTIME |
| SLEEP | SLEEP | SLEEP | SLEEP | SLEEP | SLEEP | SLEEP |
I'm training new ref trainers, so I actually only have a few ref practices. Most Sundays I have recruited the sweetie man to let me drag him around the schoolyard with a bicycle tube, then I finish with MBody Strength's beginner kettlebell density workout:
I love this guy, he's so cheerful. I did his earlier beginner kettlebell workout for the better part of home season, his easy workouts are easy to pick up. I'm working up to his hard workouts!
Agility and SkateForm are part of the postseason that I planned. More about SkateForm TK!
Then I have another kettlebell workout with Box to work on functional movement and form.
C Team is going to be one, maybe two practices per week? Every third Wednesday we have mixed meat scrimmage, which is also part of the postseason I planned.
I also lost my head and bought a youswoop for RowFit Chicago for a song, $66.00 for twenty-five classes that I have to use by the end of August i.e., by the end of postseason. Which I bought because I didn't know what league practices were planned for postseason, but Poppy, you're the one who plans league practices. Why didn't you ask... you? And now I have a more than full schedule even without C team, what was I thinking. Sometimes you do things without thinking for a reason, though. I've been doing the rowing and striking bootcamp, striking as in hitting things with your FISTS. Which is the BOMB.
p: i think i sprained both pinkies.
p: meh, i don't need my hands for anything.
This changes halfway through summer, when agility becomes blocking and SkateForm becomes SkateFit!
