"Be a Tracker"

Track your physical progress.

What can you track? 

1) Jump rope time (minutes)
2) Vertical jump (e.g. chalk a finger tip) 
3) Jump training (calendar)
4) Quickness (five cones, one in center) - total time
5) Strength - e.g. pushups or number of lifts of a set weight 
6) 3 cone drill 



Coach Carl Pierson include speed, strength, and power (jumping) measures in his tryouts. When a father asked why his daughter didn't make the team, he could say, "45 girls tried out and your daughter was in the bottom five in all measured athleticism categories. She's not ready to compete." 

Most of the exceptional players in MVB history trained hard to develop their athleticism as part of their overall fitness.
