3 fun ways to cross-train before tryouts


 
Spending endless hours dribbling a soccer ball isn’t the only way to guarantee a spot on the squad. Pro trainer and lifelong athlete Jon Gallo is spilling the ways to up the ante before tryouts. He also says to remember the five S’s: speed, strength, stamina, skill and spirit. Hurrah!
 
Jog it out
“For all sports, the off-season is the time to build speed, agility and strength. Since most sports have running as a standard requirement, you should run at least one to two days a week,” he reveals.

Hop on the bike (or in the pool)
“To help build muscle, I really recommend indoor cycling and swimming. They’re easy on the body, but they build speed, strength and endurance. Both of these activities allow an athlete to incorporate resistance training into their regimen without overdoing it,” Jon says.

Get your yoga on
“To avoid over-training, soreness and injury, you should incorporate flexibility training after every workout session,” he spills. We’re hitting the mat now!

Cross training is really important to get fit. It gives your body a chance to strengthen the muscles you used in one workout, and work some new muscles

MOD MOD MOD! my dads side of my family is really into baseball. my brother plays college ball and my other brother plays 4 high school. my dad has a little league baseball team and sometimes plays men's softball with a lot of his friends and his brother. obviously i'm a girl so i cant play "baseball" (well i can but i sorda choose not 2 because i might get fun of and i have a bad temper) so i play softball. i really do LUV it! not because of my family. i wanna keep playing forever, possibly in college i'll play 2, but my heart is starting 2 go in a different direction. most of the summer i went to pools and beaches. i noticed i have gotten a lot faster than when i was on a swim team like 4/5 years ago. i'm beginning 2 really like it a lot more than i used to and i also want 2 improve my skills. i was wondering, should i join a swim team??? i still wanna play softball but i think i wanna be on a swim team. Should i join a swim team?????

 

Hey girl,

 

If your schedule isn't too packed, can you do both swimming and softball? Playing more than one sport will keep you super fit! If you still want to play competitive softball and can't do competitive swimming at the same time, you could see if your community center or hometown has a recreational swimming league where you can improve your swimming ability with less of the pressure.

MOD MOD MOD:
please answere this ASAP! I missed all the high school cheerleading try outs because of my cruise. My dad has an in with the coach and talked to her...she said i can try out rgt after my cruise...well its after my cruise and my tryouts are soon. The coach told me that i need to come up with a 30-40 second routine to The time (Dirty Bit) by Black eyed peas. Ive got atleast 20 seconds of a routine and i need help ASAP any sights to help me come up with a good routine?


 


Hey girly girl! I'd maybe talk with one of the girls who are already on the high school team and ask for some advice! They should know what the coach wants, and can help you learn some new stuff to use in it Smile

Mod Mod Mod Mod Hey, With all the shopping and talks with my bffs, I'm really starting to feel older, since I will be a freshman this year. But, I have volleyball tryouts in a week, and whenever I'm around all the other girls (there are 60 going out) I feel young and small again. I've been playing volleyball for a long time and have played with the older teams because I was asked by the coach. How can I get the Little Freshman feeling to go away? Thanks so much.

 

 

Hey girl. Show your skills! If the coach thinks you are great then you will begin to feel that way. Push yourself and have fun!
