mandatory 100%

For Monday, Mar 5

I caught an interview on TV over the weekend with a women's basketball player from NC State. Apparently NC State's women had just upset #1 ranked and up to that point undefeated Duke in the semifinals of the ACC Women's Basketball Tournament. One comment particularly caught my attention. She said that the women on the team had gotten together midway through the season and decided that anytime they stepped on the court, whether practice or game, it was "mandatory" that everyone give 100%. I loved the way that sounded 'a mandatory 100%'.

Who was it that held each of them accountable to that 'mandatory 100%'?

all:
1. mobility - hip crossover, hand walk, leg swings
2. foot drills
3. distance run
men's md= 6-8 miles
men's distance= 12-14 miles
women= 4-5 miles
4. 4 x 120m ins & outs
5. inverted hamstring & downward dog
