New Kids on the Block: Jack and Maurice

A little behind here so I'm going to combine our two latest New Kids.

First up we got Jack Decker. He's a senior from Bishop Foley and the first kid I'm aware of to beat my mile time since I graduated. He's a legit cross country/track runner and has hopes of continuing his career in college. After the fall season ended, Owen convinced him to join the Champions Club.

Jack is not your typical runner, though. His first sport-of-choice was basketball, so he's coming in with a much better athletic background than I expected. He also has done some training with Jacob in the past in the Foley weight room, so he's built up some good movement patterns. So far through three days things have been going well.

Next up we have Maurice Watkins. He is cousins with Camari (part of our spring New Kid group that didn't stick it out) and even came in for a workout or two back in May. Now a senior at Roseville, Maurice reached out to me about a week ago to try and get back in shape. Now he's a few days into Fundamentals, and even brought Camari back for one of them!

So far Maurice been really coachable and eager to learn new things. He's already stong as anyone his age, so now we're working on the conditioning and technique. He's even been sending me meal pictures! If we can keep his attendance consistent he'll be a great addition!

I'll check back in with both when they're done.
