2:45-3:00 p.m.: Prepped for individual training- Made sure that all necessary equipment was set up prior to beginning the workout.
Individual Workouts (3-4 p.m.):
The class started out with agility ladder drills and then progressed to a dynamic warm up to ballistic stretching.
After the dynamic warm up, the athlete did a jump rope circuit, which consisted of 1 minute jump rope skips off of 2 feet and 1 minute of single foot jump rope skips for both the left and right foot.
Next, the athlete did sprint work. They sprinted 5, 10, and 15 yards using a resistance cord. After the sprinting progression, the athlete did a sprint without the resistance cord (contrast). After the contrast, the athlete did a 15 yard sprint reaction …show more content…

After the dynamic warm up/ballistic stretching, the athletes played a few games: Rock, paper, scissors, knock the pin, and Bocce.
To end the workout, the athletes did static stretching. Perkiomen Valley High School Field Hockey Team (7-8:30 p.m.):
The class started out with agility ladder drills and then progressed to a dynamic warm up to ballistic stretching.
After the dynamic warm up/ballistic stretching, the team did testing of a 10/20 yard dash, 5-10-5 shuttle run, and broad jumps.
After testing, the team did a 5 yard sprint progression. This sprinting progression consisted of sprinting 5 yards 5 times consecutively. After 5 reps of sprinting, the repetitions were drop set to 4, 3, 2, and then 1 sprint. This progresion was done 2 times.
To end the workout, the team ended with core exercises and a static stretch.

What I learned?: Today at my internship, I learned that for every class, you need to plan the workouts before hand by writing them down on the board or on a piece of paper. It keeps each class structured and organized so that all the athletes know exactly what to do when they are doing the
