Sports Team Training: The Simsbury Lightning

We have been given the unique and fun opportunity to train some local youth sport teams.  One such team is the "Simsbury Lightning" youth soccer team.  These are ladies ages 13-14, and they travel to compete against other teams in the Farmington Valley.  Every Monday and Thursday, they will be training with Mike and/or Brian (I got to sub in once this week and LOVED it, they're so cute) for a full 45-minutes.

Mike's first day with them was a lot body weight stuff, and they were lucky enough to have that AMAZING 60-70 degree weather, so they trained outside on the grass.  The photos below are from Brian's first session with them - also outside, on that dreadful 80 degree day last week!!  They were outside to do some hill sprint relays, and some 40-yard relays, before going back inside to finish some strength training circuits in the air conditioning!!

Check out the photos below, and a little compilation video at the bottom!

Time for some hill-sprint relays!
