Acceleration

Courtney's new soccer team didn't hold practices in the summer and we didn't want her to lose her edge, so we signed her up for Acceleration at the LiveWell Center of the hospital.  It's basically personal training geared towards athletes to help them get faster and stronger in their sport with the goal of avoiding injury. 

Bryan had some free session cards that he received from Leadership Dixie so I used that to take her over for her initial consultation.  She liked the place and the trainers said they could do a lot to help her with soccer.  Soccer players tend to run funny...they run with an arm out which slows them down.  They do it to block other players but when they aren't blocking it becomes a habit to run with the arm out.  So the trainer said they could fix that.

She convinced her best friend to do it with her so three times a week I run the girls across town to Acceleration and they come out sweaty!  They did a fit test at the beginning and, after 21 sessions, they will do another fit test to see how they have improved.  It's been a great experience for them and I think they have gotten stronger.
