Salisbury All-American midfielder Kylor Berkman gives lacrosse fans an inside look at the Sea Gull's season. Find out what goes on in the preseason and what it's like to be a top college lacrosse player.
Saw your questions at the bottomand here is some insight:
The best 1.5 time was 8:15? It was cold when we ran so people were a little slower..
best dips - 73
pull-ups 34
body weight bench-32
I definitly listen to much more rap..nas said hip hop was dead and im not reviving it..your thoughts?
and a video blog was definitly something we were interested in! I think it would definitly be more interesting and offer people some better insight into our program and what we do. It was not what we were approached with doing,but if they want to set it up - I am game!
Just woke up for school today and found out its a snow day! It's odd to think we have snow in Salisbury in March let alone we are getting off school for it! We had planned a nice sleding adventure, but it got canceled due to practice indoors...We have played four games and so far we are 4-0. I like the way we have started this season posting soem quality wins against some good competition. Our offense is finally starting to gel and become comfortable with eachother. When we finally find our groove its going to be scary how good we can be! Our defense hasn't missed a beat either, only allowing somewhere around 5 goals a game.
It's too bad we couldn't bust out the orange balls for practice and have some fun out on the turf today, but i am sure all will be enjoying their day off .. I am getting flack for my sub-par posts compaired to my fellow captain timmy OB on NCAA.org.. Timmy likes to over achieve in pretty much anything he does so I don't think I will ever be able to solidify myself as the number one blogger on the team.. his superfluous blogs definitly have me beat for sure! I can use big words like he does though and make it sound much better...
Well have a good week and enjoy the lax! Parity has opened the door this year and I feel like its anyone's game to win ..its great to see the level of competition rise within the sport and with growth and time it should only get better!
Its thursday and our season FINALLY begins tomorrow! We have our lift tests at 9 AM then practice in the afternoon. I think everyone is ready to start but not looking forward to the cold temperatures that have settled in salisbury. Playin lacrosse in the cold is not the funnest way to play, noone likes getting checked when their body is like an ice cube!
For our tests tomorrow we have to be able to bench our body weight 10x, do 15 pull ups, and do 25 dips. The following day we have to run a 1.5 mile in 9 minutes. This coming after our first day of practice so it should be interesting how tired everyone is from practice.
I have to pick up some classes to fulfill my major, it feels weird being a senior and realizing its your last season getting to play in college. Time flys by when your having fun and I feel like yesterday i was coming in as a freshman not knowing what to expect and now my days here are numbered!
In other news, my dog champ, got attacked and his tail fell off and had to be removed, we call him nub now, for the three inch stub he has wailing off his backside, its quite funny.
We have all been working extremely hard getting ready for the 09 season. This is definitly the hardest working year for me as I realize its my last and every person wants to go out with a bang! Hopefully the gulls can be successful this year, our first test comes the following week, and with only a short period for preparation, we have a lot to put in before that time comes.
Lax is here! Enjoy the season boys..
So a new year is underway! It's almost christmas time and I think EVERYONE here at Salisbury is ready for the break from school! The semester was tough, but it looks like everyone is going to make it out alive.
When we get back from christmas break winter term starts and thats when we get into the grind .Winter term is a month long "mini session" offered at SU. Many kids take courses and it gives the whole team a chance to be here together for a month before the season begins getting in shape and preparing for the upcoming season. This is probably when people will work the hardest to become better and try and go up in the ranks before our first game.
I am looking forward to winter term starting and eventually lacrosse. It is my senior year and we are expecting big things in sea gull land this year. I feel as if already, we have surpassed the work rate of many teams in years past and I am only excited about the bright future that lies ahead.
Ill be posting every sunday this year, trying to stay on point, anything anyone wants to hear or know about just shout it! I have no problem sharing just need to know whats interests people when they hear about Salisbury Lacrosse or read these blogs!
