KNIGHTS GETTING IT DONE IN THE WEIGHT ROOM

Né Carter: The weight room is where we go to get stronger and build endurance to endure throughout our season. We do many different things to strengthen our legs such as squats and vertimats. With squats we go slightly below a 90 degree angle and power up, helping build power in our legs. With the vertimats we have straps connected that causes resistance. We hold the straps as we jump in the air causing us to be pulled back down faster. This helps us with quickness and strength in our legs.  Our team has been extremely dedicated in the weight room this year.  We learned a valuable lesson last year of the important of being at our maximum best physically and we know that strength training is a great starting point for us.  We get our workouts in early in the morning which is a great way to start the day!
