Determination / No Excuses

After yesterday's win it was back to the practice field for a recovery session and some injury prevention exercises and treatments.  An earlier start than usual due to our GW student athlete retreat saw us on the field at 830 but all done by 915.  No additional or new injuries from the game so we appear to be doing well in keeping the guys healthy. 

Our annual GW student athlete leadership retreat started with all our athletes meeting at the smith center and assigned to teams either  Buff or Blue.  After a brief welcome it was down to Constitution ave and 23rd for a series of team games including relays, tug of war balloon toss to name a few.  My team was 5-0 before our last 2 events where we were blatantly cheated to finish 5-2   a solid performance but we wouldnt be representing the Blue team in the grand finale. 

The highlight of the day, apart from the free lunch was our guest speaker, Kyle Maynard.  I encourage you to google his name and learn some more about the person who really brought home the theme of the day "DETERMINATION" and something I often ask and tell athletes "NO EXCUSES"
