100 Kicks a Day

Winter is here and there is no better time to get serious about footbag. Working on fundamentals, mechanics, flexibility and stamina is the key to becoming a better player. When the weather is nice and the court is set up, we play game after game. Games are fun, but we all have bad habits that we continue to rely upon in playing these games. Let's take this opportunity to break the bad habits and focus on our weaknesses. The Phoenix open is right around the corner and I am personally using this as motivation to becoming a better player. There is a real possibility of having two teams representing Chicago this year. Over the course of the next six weeks we should seize every moment available to train. Whether it's kicking against a wall, working out or power kicking I am challenging everyone, including myself to break the bad habits with "100 Kicks a Day". Come spring time when the courts are up we will reap the benefits.

Let me know how it goes. Rob McCluskey from PA set up a nice trail for yr inspiration. He kicked 1000 kicks per day for a whole year in the 80's

If you keep it up you're going to have to change your name to 200 pounds of puddin.

"100 Kicks a Day" is more of a metaphor than anything. It is idea of doing something everyday to improve your game.

I need to start stretching again. I need to start jogging again too now that I'm closer to the park. Ah winter excuses...
