HI everyone, here is a cool article written by a canoe kayak coach for his athletes after National Championships. Now obviously , Canoe Kayak athletes competitive season is different from our but the message is very similar. Right now in May after our ski racing season you as athletes and us as coaches are in a transition phase. We are no longer racing and training, but we all need to get ready for that next phase of training.... summer. That phase of the year is called the General phase. During that time we will all be doing conditioning, either a specific program for another sport or the program that we are getting prepared right now. Or maybe you are just going to have a good summer of hiking, biking, swimming or whatever. Either way, you need to recover from the season. This article speaks to a lot of things to pay attention to and why we need this time. As always if you have any questions please let me know.

HI everyone, please take a look at this article that Steve Cooke found. For one thing it is really fun to read and second of all it is very much how I feel about the topic. Also most of us have met the person who wrote it.
