Preseason, Day 7: Round and Round We Go

Sometimes, when you've been doing the same thing for a really long time, you get a little bit loopy. Especially if that thing you've been doing is playing soccer, twice a day, every day, for seven days straight. Or trying to put together enough drills to fill those fourteen practices.

Coaching loopiness was possibly the story behind Day 7, Practice #2, as Coach Ryan Levesque had the players finish off the session by performing a zig zag, spin-around-the-pole relay race in which they ran around a pole five times and had to shoot while dizzy. It was straight out of the company picnic play book, and really called for some beer. Unfortunately, none was available, so next time I'll have to arrange in advance to have my dad deliver a couple kegs of home brew.

While it was a good laugh for players and coaches alike, it was, more than anything, a reminder that the boys have been working extremely hard and that their efforts have not gone unrecognized.
