Softball never stops

As the showcase season comes to an end for the fall, Alicia is intensifying her works and training.  She recently had an intense weekend with Coach Monti Van Brunt and then went to the USC camp.  She was complimented by one of the USC players when she told Alicia " she was so fast that her coach should have her do the hook slide most of the time."  Coach Calvin Beamon was impressed with her power hitting from the left hand side especially since she had not been power hitting from the left hand side for long.  He commented that she has great potential.

Along with that camps and training with Coach Van Brunt, Alicia has been weight training with a personal trainer.  She has been bench pressing, doing push ups and much more and has so far gained three pounds of muscle.  Her trainer, Jake, wants her to gain at least two more before softball season.  Jake has also encouraged her to eat 100grams of protien a day. 

Coach Monti Van Brunt, shared with the Daly family a few secrets to increasing speed by another 2 tenths.  If successful that would bring Alicia down close to 2.65.  If any of the younger players, who follow Alicia would care to know this information please feel free to e-mail Alicia at adaly8@bellsouth.net .
