MBSC First Week

So MBSC opened up on monday for the summer session. And let me just say it was pretty crazy, luckily we have a huge staff (at least at the Woburn facility).

Day 1 - The intern house was scheduled to open. I was up at 5am to get ready. We arrived at the facility at 6:15 and began setting up for the first group 6:30am. The day went fairly smoothly but we were still confused, unorganized and there was a lack of communication. The intern house was there from 6:15am til about 5pm. At 1:30 we went through the workout as a group. I don't mind this so much, however I wish I could warm up and do conditioning on my own. No offense to whomever but slideboard or sideways sled pulls dont exactly carry over to track. I am more then willing to do/practice the lateral stuff, but I also want to be able to do my 'track' related stuff. So after our workout we tidied up a bit and then headed home for the night.

Day 2 - We 'opened' MBSC again. Similar to Day 1, but we were a little more organized and flowed a little better. Today instead of staying at assinged stations we went along wit diff coaches/groups. I got to work with a lot of different coaches and athletes so that was good. Don't think I have a preference as to who I'd like to work with/ be paired with starting next week. Again, we worked out around 130 and were free to go around 4.

Day 3 - Today we had a 12:30pm - close shift. Close is between 8-9 depending on how quickly the athletes are done and how quickly we clean afterwards. We were there past 9 :(. Nicole had a chit-chat with us afterwards just giving us some fedback. She had good fed back but I think she assumes some things without knowing the full story. Oh well. Between 12:30 and our workout I jsut sorta floated and did some tidying and house cleaning stuff. I felt there were too many coaches on the floor, most groups had 3 - 4 coaches. Today we had a shorter workout bc we did not get going until like 2pm. After the workout I took about 30 mins to shower/change/eat/relax. Then it was back to work. The afternoon is much slower which is good and bad. Toward the evening adult groups come in, so I worked with some of them helping Evan and Dave out. Cool people. the adult workouts are a little different, but still basically the same. I thought that was pretty neat.

Day 4 - We had the same shift as yesterday. Nicole was away so Jamie was in charge of us. I floated around between 12:30 and 1:30ish. Then around 2pm I latched on to a group of young boys. They were interesting haha. I worked primarily with Ryan 1 and 2. They were seasoned vets and fun to work with. The were my first 2day program so that was a little weird getting used to when 2 day programs are before or after a 4day, it can be confusing. After that I helped Marco with a group of hs boys, they were funny. After that I skipped around with a few more groups until I worked out at like 4. I did the program on my own except added some tredmil intervals after slideboard. Not very good at incline bench I have to admit, dont think I have ever done it. After my workout I just kinda floated around until it was time to start cleaning.

It is now the weekend and i can relax until like 5am on monday. By sunday I will know my schedule and which coach(es) I will be working with. I have worked with Megan, Nicole, Shaeff, Marco, Kevin C, Dave, Dan, Evan, and Sam. I have not worked with Bobbie, Kevin L, Anthony, Jamie, Kyle, Ben or Jenna (but i know they are way cool). I guess Kevin C, Dave, Dan or Evan would be my top choices all for different reasons. Each coach has their own style and I like bits and pieces of each.

I will try to write more after the weekend when I know the plan of action.

In eineacht le neart, (with strength)
