We friends I am back at it. I have been working really hard during the off season with my strength and conditioning coaches in Columbus. I have already seen the positive results. I have increased my vertical jump 5 inches. We put alot of time into plyo work during our 8 weeks. Also I worked in the weight room on my own twice a week during this period. The last 4 weeks I also started training again just 3 times a week. I kept the training simple with simple gk training with 2 other pro gks. On Monday the 4th I reported to Chicago for our physicals and today we did all our fitness testing and then had media day in the afternoon. Tomorrow we are heading to Bradenton FL to start training. We are there for two weeks, from the 6th until the 20th. We will have a few games while we are down there. Matt has signed in England so it is me, Nick Noble and two gks we drafted from college.
This is an exciting time of year because everyone has a fresh start. We have a great mix of older and younger players.
Also we have a new coach in Dennis Hamlet. He has been an assistant here for 10 years, so the transition should be an easy one. I am happy for him to get the chance to lead us. I am also happy that our gk coach, Daryl Shore, is back. I think we have a good relationship together and get on well. It will be fun to work with him again. I will continue to update you guys from Florida.
Until next time.
