Hey Guys, my name is Josh Ward, I'm 17 and currently ice for the Nottingham Under 18s team, along with the Nottingham Lions ENL team. My second week here at Teen Ranch has been really enjoyable, and most definitely beneficial for my hockey game, on and off the ice. The intensity is steadily increasing week by week, as fatigue starts to slowly kick in also at times, the workouts off the ice are becoming tougher and more strenuous. But this will only make our characters stronger and take our fitness capabilities to a higher level. On wednesday this week, we replaced an off ice workout with a Judo class, which involved a number of core exercises and counter body weight exercises which many of us had never seen before, this certainly tested us and made us all sweat more than three periods of hockey! The earliness of the morning practices have now become a part of life, as every is now flying through the on ice drills and skating real hard. This week also saw us all face 'the block'. This is a circuit run around the Ranch, which has a reputation to be challenging. I made the mistake of not taking the correct right turning back towards the ranch, so carried on along a long stretch of road adding an extra couple of kilometres to my run! The mistake will not be made twice! Anyway, we will all keep you up to date.
Thanks Josh Ward
