XC -- only 14 weeks until your season starts

Registration is open for Coach Braz's GTD cross-country program this summer.

For most high school runners, fall practice for the xc season begins 3rd week of August. College runners often begin earlier. Races come quickly in early September. To compete -- and to make the team -- you cannot wait until your school's program begins.

Get ready for your xc season with Coach Braz's summer conditioning sessions.

Joe Hamilton did the program last summer before going out for the UMass/Dartmouth team. Joe writes:
"Hi coach Braz,
I made the team! Thank you so much, all those plyometrics helped me kick butt during tryouts. I will definitely be back at your camp next summer."

All-Sports conditioning

Registration is open for Coach Braz's GTD All-Sports program this summer.

"I have trained at Braz Camp for about eight years I would say. I started (I believe) when I was heading into middle school, and did so because I was beginning to join sports teams that were becoming increasingly competitive, so I wanted to become a better athlete in order to succeed at the next level.

"Whenever my season begins, whether it is soccer, ice hockey or lacrosse, I can feel the results of summer training. Each drill for the all sports camp has a specific purpose for aspects of all sports; for example, Fireworks (alternating acceleration and deceleration) prove to be essential in all three of my sports. I can feel the explosive power I gain from camp in game situations, whether it's changing speed in soccer, or stopping and going in hockey. Doing ladders helps with agility, and we do core almost every day to enhance our balance.

"The all sports camp introduces new drills every day to build on the skills and conditioning and work up endurance. One of the most obvious benefits I have found from doing the camp is my endurance. I find that I can go for increasingly longer times without getting as fatigued and 'flat' so to speak."
