Week of Dec 18th - Stay Positive

Stay Positive Everyone, the Snow will Return

As snow hasn't returned to HSB - or anywhere else in Ontario for that matter - as we write this, we will be back on Zoom for Strength this Tuesday.

We'll continue to watch the forecast and keep you up-to-date should things change positively in terms of snow.

As for Saturday, we are looking at some different options for "Fun and Adventure" and will let you know the practice plans later in the week.

In the meantime, stay positive and stay active.  Jack talks to the Sr Team about your mindset, and what you can accomplish is so often determined by your mindset.  Keep thinking about what you CAN do each day to be better than you were yesterday.

As the coaches, we will do our best to keep the practices fun and challenging.  All you need to do is show up!

Tuesday - Strength Training on Zoom

Please join us between 5:20PM and 5:25PM so that we can start at 5:30PM.

BEFORE you start the workout, please make sure of the following:

• Make sure you have a safe place to perform basic bodyweight exercises
• Look for an open area 6ft x 8ft on a soft floor (e.g. carpet or mats) that isn't slippery
• Make sure you work with your parents to test your computer set-up so you can see and be seen, as well as hear and be heard
• Make sure you have proper athletic clothing and a water bottle

DURING the workout, please have a strong commitment to:

• Listen to ALL the instructions
• Try to do ALL the exercises with excellent form
• Put forth a consistent effort throughout the ENTIRE workout

PARENTS - YOU are encouraged to join in as ALL of these exercises will help YOUR skiing too!

Please be sure you review some of the exercises we will be doing HERE beforehand.

We WILL get into set #4 this week.

Saturday – Fun Somewhere!

We're working on some different options for practice this weekend assuming that we don't see enough snow for HSB to reopen.

It will be something in the Barrie area and we'll look to make a final call on Thursday night as to what our plans will be for Saturday.
