Hello blog advocates. Our goal this week was to challenge our Elite group players both physically and mentally. Today was Warrior Day where the players were put on the spinning bike before they hit the court, wearing their heart rate sensor that was connected to a bluetooth app that shows the percentage of their maximum heart rate while they did 10 sets of intervals with the ratio of 1 minute low intensity and 1 minute high intensity with the goal of getting their heart rate to 85% on the high intensity and 65% on the low intensity. Basically get their legs burning.
After their legs were feeling jello like, they then head out to the courts to play a 2 out of 3 sets match. So, why are we doing this? Building characters. Anyone can play when they are fresh. But when physically put to the test, that's when they need to push through their threshold and still perform. A big round of applause to our warriors! Well done girls and boys.
