Finally, after weeks and weeks I have finally updated the website! I added a new “media” page, so check that out for pictures and videos. For future reference I will make a very conscious effort to update this blog every Sunday. With that being said, here is a summary of what has been going on:
First off, I would like to congratulate all of our athletes who wrestled at the Pop N’ Flo Duals in Lake Placid. It was an awesome tournament with some of the best teams in the country. The tournament was a great learning experience for both the wrestlers and the coaching staff. It was a good measuring stick for our wrestlers to see how they compete against some of the best competition in the country. As coaches, we realized things we need to work on and incorporate in practice to maximize the benefits for our wrestlers. Overall, it was a positive experience for everyone in attendance and we will continue to move forward. Below is a highlight video of the tournament.
Now with the summer approaching I am going to talk about our plans. Summer practice will be held Mondays and Wednesdays at HARRISON HIGH SCHOOL. I will update you on the exact date as soon as I can. We are working on our 2nd location in Northern Westchester, allowing Invictus wrestlers to wrestle up to 4x per week! Also, I will be running Sports Performance classes at CrossFit Westchester all summer. I encourage every wrestler to participate! We will be working on movements to make you stronger, faster, and more EXPLOSIVE. I am training several wrestlers right now who are making amazing gains in strength and power output. I GUAREENTEE you will gain an incredibly amount of strength with my training program. The classes will run Monday-Friday. I will be running 3 classes per day, but the exact times are still in the works. Check out the “store” page to view special combo deals for wrestling and lifting.
With school winding down, studying for finals and regents exams are a priority for our athletes. Here at Invictus, we not only strive for you to become a stellar athlete but also a scholar in the classroom. We have been talking about implementing progress reports to make sure students stay on track with their school work. Nowadays, you have to be more than a star athlete to get into college; good grades are now a MUST. Remember, anything can be achieved through HARD WORK, PRIDE, and DEDICATION.
Stay classy,
Coach Alayon
P.S. Can anyone guess what song is the title of the blog? I’ll give you a clue: it’s a lyric from one of my favorite bands!
