Time is ticking by and we are now within a month of embarking on a trip that has the potential to have a huge impact on my career. With that, the pressure and intensity in training continues to rise. Coach Bret has been putting the pressure on us for awhile now, with good intentions as it will only prepare us more for what is ahead. Coach is stilling figuring out the most appropriate way for our team to play and so we have been doing a lot of functional tactical work, along with technical work and playing. The body has been holding up well except for the minor mishap of heat exhaustion last Sunday. Still room to get fitter, and in time that will come, but nothing beats match fitness, and its nice to know that our next game is on the horizon in St. Louis on Friday June 16th.

The summer weather has really set in and Thursday evening a couple of the boys headed out to Top Golf for a couple hours enjoying swinging the clubs. My golf game is fairly inconsistent, but put me on a mini golf course and I’m not half bad! Outside of this, our weekend was very relaxing with a lot of time spent by the pool and soaking in the sunshine. Sounds like the dream right? The only thing is we aren’t getting paid for it, so there is still work to be done to get to that level. Time will tell!
