It's Long Course Time!!

Hi team!

Long Course season 2010 is in full swing. The captains will continue to keep you posted on how the season is going throughout the spring & summer. We were going to do a blog for New England Age Groups and Florida Sectionals, but we realized that it was too much to do at a trials finals meet. Instead we focused on our races, our goals, and enjoying the time with our team mates. As a result, we performed very well as a team and achieved many of our team goals. One of the most important things about this blog is to keep the captains and everyone involved with GMA connected. So each captain will have an opportunity or two to post up on how things are going.

I have started my last lacrosse season at Essex High School as varsity goalie. Balancing lacrosse, school and swimming takes a lot of work, time, and focus. I have been coming to morning workouts and Saturday practices. Four practices a week simply isn't enough, as I miss seeing my team mates and training with them.

Senior year is wrapping up.  Spring is finally here, AP exams are in a few weeks, and teachers have started slamming tests on us as they scrape to get enough exam grades in before the semester closes. Seniors are buzzing about college decisions and plans for the summer. Its just an exciting time!
As exciting as spring is for a senior, it is also an exciting time for GMA. We are in the thick of training and this time is the 'December' of long course. In this week's team meeting, we shared our primary goals for the long course season and the personal goals that we would be "willing to fight for."  We also started brainstorming about our long course team goals.  That means it's time for us to stay tough, stay focused, and keep going strong.

Let's go GMA!
