Today was the first day of practice. What a great day for it as well! Great weather today. Nice and cool with some clouds. Couldn't have asked for better weather. That being said a couple of things about day one of practice. First off, great effort by our athletes that were there today. They worked incredibly hard to improve today. As a coaching staff we are trying to figure out where to put some guys because we want to have the right people in the right spot to help out team in the long run and get to where and be as successful as we want to be. But as we were talking about practice it came to our attention that we don't have many guys out this year. I find this hard to believe with the success we've had the in the last year. We are about 5-8 guys below where I thought we should be for guys participating. If you or your football player knows someone that should be out, give them a call and talk to them about going out. There are so many life lessons to be learned in football and by being part of a team. Talk to those guys, football will be good for them and they'll be good for this team.
We had max outs this morning and when we are done you can find them on the WMU Strength and Conditioning website. As a coaching staff we are very excited about the guys that have worked their tails off and are seeing huge results. For example we had a kid squat 365 in April and this morning put up 405! We had some of our athletes drop over a half of second on their 40 yard dashes. We are very excited about their success and the possibilities that we have at this point in the season.
For those before us, those of us now, and those that follow, WE ARE WMU!
