Well the year is over and it definitely had its ups and downs. This year was not my best year of my life that is for sure but it was a year for learning. After this year I feel much more mature and know my body and what I want a lot better. I spent a lot of this past year injured due to my bad judgement in programming. I lost an entire lacrosse season to it and I was not even sure if I wanted to play again since I was afraid of getting injured again. I now know that I can control the injury I sustained and will be able to play lacrosse at my new school which I am beyond excited for. In 2011 I trained a different way to what I was used to. I started lifting heavy and cutting down the conditioning sessions and to be honest it was amazing and worked out very well. I gained a lot of size and strength while still maintaining a lot of my fitness. Being strong has helped me in all aspects of my fitness and I will continue to put strength at the top of my training goals. Some of the things that I have learned this past year include listening to my body and not being a tough guy, keep on mobility because I was always not injured when I was serious into mobility, crossfit is not the end all be all of training, and most of all relax and enjoy life more. The last really big new thing that happened in 2011 was the surgery. This was my first surgery and there was a lot of thought to go into this. This injury that I got fixed caused a lot of my problems for a few years now and I am glad I finally took the initiative to get it looked out and take care of it for good. As of now I am still not 100% but it is getting there. 2011 was a decent year but the experiences I went through will make for 2012 making a great year.
2012 Goals
- Injury Prevention
- Log 3 days a week of mobility at
least 5 minutes each time.
- Be smart with training- no
training in season and if feeling worn down take a few days off.
- 4 week training cycles with 1 week
of active recovery at the end
- Meditate for a total of 8 minutes
- 10 Points for lax
- First or Second line O Mid
- Bench 330lbs
- Squat 385lbs
- Press 210lbs
- Shoulder Height Box Jump
- Prevent stressful situations by
not letting them get the best of me
These are the goals that I have come up with for this year. I am focusing on more major things instead of a lot of smaller things and I think this will encourage me to complete all of them rather than trying to get 50 goals down. I may have one or 2 more goals to be added but for now this is it. Let the new year begin. Get after it.
