He had a bad day.
He wanted to sprint before practice, so he could at least get his speed work in, but I was tied up at work ....
Yesterday the practice was super easy and I could see at what he was getting at....
I texted him 'OK', and that I'd meet him later at the CVHS track ....and then take him onto FB at his school.
He took the FreeLap timing gear, all of his FB gear (practice would be after), and his track gear.
Walked ~2miles to CVHS (crossed a dirt/plowed field ....as I noticed his socks and shoes were all brown, and asked him about it).
...and got kicked off the track by the football team/ asst. coach. He was pissed. They weren't using the track.
So he had to wait a bit for me to show up. Running short on time now .... I hit another public HS (GHS) on the way to his practice.
We quickly got out and rushed thru things.....he was pissed and stressed out. Therefore, he ran like crap
GHS track, spikes.
(3) 20m fly sprints @6-7' min rests.
Although these times sucked, they were not slower then previous slow/bad days in the winter when we were timing.
Then I dropped him off at FB practice.
When I picked him, he had a "breakdown" of sorts
Some silly circuit, decline bench, etc.... he basically started rage-crying at this point (yes, tears) :
"we don't practice, we don't run routes, do football drills ... we haven't thrown or I have caught a ball in a month "
"the weight training is a joke! no one on the team is taking any of this seriously"
"it might be worse than flag football"
He didn't want to eat dinner, and went to bed.
-----------------
Its really frustrating. I guess they still can't use the grass field at the school. They finally mowed it down, and striped it.
They team actually STOOD on it, and did formation line ups and walked thru plays .... but no practice(v) on it ....no running, cutting, sprinting, drills, etc. It's been off limits this whole summer.
Weird now too, because the last three days its be relatively nice outside (only 95-105F semi cloudy; and not 115F sunny)....would be nice to take advantage of the weather.
They have been confined to the gymnasium, wt.room (size of a large closet), and the concrete basketball court (very small, fenced in).
AND NOW, the gymnasium is off limits for resurfacing or whatever.
I learned what was happening before, when the gym WAS open, we had to practice at 5-6 am ....because the volleyball team was using at8 or 9 or whatever. We got the shitty time.
