Practice started a little late, so we had a shorter warmup and lotto with the A team. After that, we did stairs. We ran stairs, hopped stairs, and bounded stairs. We also did wall squats. The pain was significant, but five minutes after we finished, the pain subsided and was replaced by a blissful rush of endorphins. It was worth it. If you miss a fitness practice, make it up on your own time.
At Easterns, we tried to give everyone roughly equal playing time, even in big games. At B Nationals, we will give playing time in big games to the guys that we trust. Trust is built in practice. No matter how good you are, if you miss practice, we can't trust you. If you skip fitness practices, we can't trust you to play hard D right to the end of the point. If you skip skills practices, we can't trust you to correctly execute those skills in games. If you skip strategy practices, we can't trust you to be in the right place at the right time. If you really want to sit on the sidelines all weekend, feel free to skip practices. Otherwise, you should be there.
