Son of Blogger



My son Connor has now asked me to start training him after a 1 month sabbatical. He has been playing a ton of basketball and it was just to difficult to fit in training with his practices, games and schoolwork. He has been chosen to play in an all-star game, and his team will compete in the local YMCA MIT tourney and that will be it until summer bball and then on to football. No baseball this summer. This will be the first summer none of our kids are doing baseball/softball since kindergarten, hard to believe. Con's goal is to increase his fitness and get functionally stronger- hoping to put on a few pounds along the way. Today's workout consisted of a 2 non-specific warm ups, strength work and speed work, and finishing with a tabata mash-up for conditioning and hopefully hypertrophy. Con, like all my kids will work hard when given a specific task- he eats up these workouts once he starts.
