Hello and Happy Holidays, Pioneer Fans! ?
Last week was a short week in the gym, although a very productive one! For Sunday’s practice we all came in with a lot of drive. We focused on our problem areas that showed during our surprise intra squad last Friday.
At Monday’s workout, we had an incentive day - for each goal made (the coaches assign each person goals on each event to be completed by a certain date), we could subtract 10 minutes from Tuesday’s practice. We needed a total of 18 goals to have no practice and 24 to not have early morning lift either. We started off on our first event with a steady pace of goals being accomplished. Once our veteran Kelsey Nixon pulled the team together, we decided that we can help each other out with completing our goals. After we pulled together as one, we were on fire. The goals were coming down off the wall left and right. It was a great thing to see us all work together and accomplish a common goal. We are much more powerful as one instead of each of us working individually. Needless to say, we completed our total goals - no weights in the morning or workout in the afternoon!
It was nice to sleep in a little on Tuesday morning before our last day of classes. We all still went into the gym, normal workout time for some light conditioning, stretching, and our annual Thanksgiving circle where we all share what we are thankful for this holiday season.
Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving break, and we look forward to seeing you in Pioneer Hall at the Holiday Spectacular Intra Squad meet this Saturday, December 5th at 7 p.m.
Dream. Desire. Vision. We Are ONE.
