Off Season Training - August

 

 

Preseason
  1. Ensure proper eating - eliminate "junk food". Balance caloric intake to whether weight gain, loss or maintenance required.
  2. Stretch after every session, holding each stretch for at least 30 seconds. Work on problem areas first.
  3. Do active warmups, not static stretching as in after practice.
