Air Alert

The "Air Alert" program can supposedly add 8-14 inches to your vertical, and take .2 to .4 seconds off your 40 time. It's basically a series of plyos. I'd be up for doing this if you guys are. You're supposed to do the exercises 3 times a week. Although you're supposed to alternate which days you do it depending on which week it is, I think we could probably get away with just doing the exercises at practice. If, however, you guys want to stick to the letter of the program, I'm fine with that too. The workouts don't take too long, so we could probably do them on our own. I could post the workouts here every week and you'd be on your own to do them. I think I like this better actually, we can do other stuff in practice. If a workout happens to overlap with a practice, we can do the workout in practice, otherwise you're on your own.

Now all we need is a vertical jump measurer.

We're going to do the workouts monday, tuesday, and thursday. At least until it starts taking too much time to do at practice. Hopefully by then everyone will be noticing a big improvement, and will be willing to start doing the workouts on their own. I've got Sando looking for a vertical leap measurer so we can get some definite numbers.

I'll also probably start light workouts with the Air Alert exercises in late november/december to get people used to it.
