New facility,
If you have been following along our blog we are in theprocess of building a new gym and renovating our old gym. It is an exciting time here for our athleticsand for the team.
Earlier this summer I was talking with Kevin Neufeld and hecame up with a great team building idea. When it was time to enter the gym we should do it as a big groupblindfold the athletes so that they all see the gym for the first time at thesame time.
Yesterday was that time for us to enter the gym. We met on the steps and blindfolded theteam. We then had them form 3 linesholding hands. A coach then lead theminto the gym to the end of the court. Wethen counted to three. The reaction ofthe team was priceless. It is a greatway for them to begin our new journey in the facility. Next week we will begin to practice in there.

This week we also met again with Dr. Skinner and we wentover goal setting. We focused mostly onthe process goals. We are setting goalson Monday for the week. It is a way forthe athletes to focus on a skill that we might not be working on during theweek.
The above link is to the online version of the form we use. We have a the athletes fill out the form in their personal dropbox folder that syncs with my computer. That way I can keep track of their progress and write responses to their goals.
One of the by products to the form is the athletes again have to think and evaluate their game. We have a technical, tactical, nutritional, educational and team goal. The team goal was describe to them as "who haven't I connected with lately?' Maybe invite them for tea or to meet you for lunch. Just an idea for the athletes to make sure they understand each other better.
