Dear Ryan,

Enclosed you will find an article on Skill Pattern Running. If you are looking for some type of running program that will allow you to condition and at the same time work on your drills, this is a good one. The drills are the same as the ones we do in practice. It might be something that you and Jacob can do during baseball season (perhaps at the end of practice). It will also help you with your baseball conditioning if there is such a thing. If Daniel goes out and makes the team he could join you too. If Mike goes out for lacrosse he will be doing plenty of conditioning so he won’t need this. If he doesn’t and instead goes out for baseball you should share this with him too.

I sent Mitch a copy of this also. In addition, I sent him an article on mental toughness for receivers. I told him that he needed to share it with the weenies because they could use some mental toughness. If they can improve in this regard they won’t cry as much in practice when you guys hold them. It will also make them better game players. Let me know if you decide to try it. See you soon.

Coach
