Lifting under way

Yesterday afternoon coach Hough brought the MS wrestlers to the weight room to lift. This was the first time lifting for a few of the boys. They learned some of the basic techniques of weight training. Our goal for now is to teach them to lift properly, not break their backs with too much weight.
Thanks to the varsity players who stayed to help teach those younger players the lifts. This effort by the upper classmen is a sign that the program is building and the players are taking ownership.
For those who have not been to lifting, I am expecting to see you there. We are working on team building in addition to speed and strength. All 9th, 10th and 11th graders should be at lifting.
