Hey there Cards fans, Javoni here to fill you in on this lovely day of preseason!
We are just fresh off of an off day, and came in ready to work hard this morning. We arrived at Yum! at 7am for breakfast provided by our strength coaches Zach and Molly. Each morning there is a Zach smoothie creation made out of stuff that y'all would think doesn't go together like my favorite, peanut butter banana spinach (or kale). That sounds pretty interesting right? I promise it's good!
After eating, everyone headed to see Nicole in the training room to foam roll and get taped before heading onto the court to gear up for an effort-filled 3-hour practice. The morning practice involved a lot of high intensity skill work and we focused a lot on technique -- all of which will pay off during season!
Then we had a short lift. We are getting stronger every day! Following that was ice bath time: 15 girls waist deep in the water of a prime 47 degrees. Talk about a fantastic time! A little side note, I don't know if anyone has mentioned this, but we've caused two ice bath shut downs by splashing when we all get out at once. Sorry Nicole!
The last practice involved a lot of 6-on-6 live playing drills. The intensity was very high. Following practice was another routine team foam roll, stretch and ice bath.
See y'all soon! Love,
