For ADM athletes, this was not a spring that they were expecting. Temperatures might be getting warmer, the grass greener, and the leaves starting to grow on trees, but with no sports still going on things feel a little off. For Adel-Desoto-Minburn coaches, one of the toughest things for them right now is making sure that athletes for all seasons for sports are still continuing to get their workouts in.

Usually coaches have complete control of making sure that athletes are getting in their work through practices and the weight room. Coaches can still send out workouts and other important information to make sure the student athletes are getting everything that they need. In the end though, student athletes are learning the key of self discipline during this crisis, and learning to embrace the grind. Some athletes are also learning to be creative with their workouts, as some don’t have different weight equipment at home and have to find other ways to stay in shape.

The biggest key for ADM student athletes will be to embrace the grind during this break and stay disciplined so that when they return to the athletic field that will be prepared and ready to go.
