Coaches Corner with Coach Brown: Preparing for Victory in Preseason Conditioning

Greetings Howell United Warriors families! Coach Brown here, and I'm thrilled to bring you the latest edition of "Coaches Corner," focusing on our upcoming preseason conditioning. As we gear up for an exciting lacrosse season, it's crucial to lay the foundation for success, both physically and mentally.

Preseason Conditioning Details

Starting January 10 and concluding on February 17, we'll be conducting preseason conditioning sessions at various locations to ensure our team is in peak physical condition. Here's the schedule:

Wednesdays: Saint Peters Rec Plex, 7:45 PM to 9:15 PM

Fridays: Saint Peters Rec Plex, 5:30 PM to 7:00 PM

Saturdays: Dames Park, 10:30 AM to 12:00 PM

Attendance at these sessions is mandatory for all players not involved in winter sports. It's a critical period where we'll focus on physical preparedness, offensive set installations, leadership courses, and building team culture and chemistry. 

Purpose of Preseason Conditioning

Our goal during these sessions is to ensure that every player is physically prepared to excel on the lacrosse field. Beyond the physical aspects, we'll take advantage of this time to install offensive sets, fostering a deeper understanding of our strategies before the season even begins.

Moreover, leadership courses will be integrated to empower our emerging leaders, and team-building activities will strengthen the bonds that make us a formidable force on the lacrosse field.

Gear Up for Success

To make the most of our preseason conditioning, it's essential that players come prepared. Ensure you have the right equipment, especially indoor shoes with a low profile. Basketball-style shoes are a great example, providing the traction and support needed for indoor training.

This Year's Focus

As we embark on this journey, let's remember that 2023 is a significant year for us. Every preseason conditioning session is an opportunity to set the tone for a successful season. Let's make a collective commitment to attend all the allotted days, bringing our energy, determination, and the right gear to make the most of this preparatory phase.

Gratitude and Looking Ahead

Before we dive into this intense period of conditioning, I want to express my gratitude to the Howell United Warriors community, the board, and everyone who continues to support our lacrosse family. Your dedication contributes to the vibrant lacrosse culture we're cultivating.

Thank you for joining me in the Coaches Corner. Stay tuned for updates on our preseason journey, and let's make this season one for the books! Here's to a fantastic and successful season ahead!
