My First Saturday

I wasn't thrilled when I was asked to work a saturday morning. However, it was the easiest day I've had since I started interning there. I had a total of 7 kids the whole day. All of the kids were on plyo workouts too which really made my day even easier. I didn't have to worry about anyone that was on the treadmill. The treadmill still makes a little nervous, especially with the bigger kids. I'm worried that my arm won't be able to handle the pressure and they might fall. My biggest fear is being responsible for someone getting hurt under my care.

The day went pretty smooth. The first hour I had three kids. I got them started on the warm-up on time and they got through it pretty quick. I know it was early, but these kids did not talk at all. I try to joke around and talk to them, but these kids have no personalities.

The second hour I had one kid. He has a personality so we got along great. He told me the sports he played, the positions, etc. I have to say this kid was very cute for an 11 year old. I worked on the sprint strides with him. I showed him how to break it down, starting with his legs and then adding his arms. By the end he was on a role.

The third hour I also had one kid. She's a little older so I can joke around with her. She plays soccer for Cincinnati Hammer.

The fourth hour I was supposed to have three kids, but only one showed up. I had one kid cancel, and the other was a no show. This hour went by very fast. I whipped through his plyo workout, he did his weights and he was done. I filed the workouts from that day, checked the messages, locked up everything and I left.
