One Down One To Go

First week of two a days are complete and there is one week to go.

Coach Ewald's tweet said it was a good week but to make this next week perfect; that hit home with Xaq. Often times it is a mental game with him - he practices his running back skills alone with his running back coach. Although his rb coach is knowledgeable and involved Xaq doesn't have the opportunity to learn from other rb's mistakes or great moves/plays - only his own and those are not always so clear.

Xaq is going into this week with the attitude and drive for perfection. He wants to run his routes perfectly, help scout for his teammates and give it his all in the weightroom. After this week he deserves the float - need to fit that appointment in so he can get float on Friday and be fresh for Saturday and the next week of practice. Saturday is the scrimmage at Wayzata High School - it's not a true scrimmage game but it allows them to practice different things against opponents. This will definitely give insight as to how the team may perform both offensively and defensively. And, then Thursday September 3rd is the first game of the 2009 season away against St. Francis. The Orioles beat St Francis last year and hope to repeat that; boys are anxious to play and win. Time will tell...

GO PARK!
