AIS Fitness Camp

I've just returned from 4 days down at the AIS in Canberra for an ASDS fitness camp. The camp focus was screening and fitness testing as they released the new testing protocol. Very exciting was the incorporation of a new hiking test for us Laser sailors.

Throughout the camp we also had access to some of the support staff which we don't normally see so much. Rosie (our amazing sports psychologist) gave several talks which were very useful in identifying thought processess and their effects on our performance. Donna (physio) told us how important it is we look after our bodies and Louise (nutrition) gave a reminder of what we should and shouldn't be eating. We also had a few sailing talks run by some of the State coaches which were good for putting our minds back in the boats.
 
Being surrounded by some of the amazing athletes at the AIS is always an incredible experience. Also the energy and comradery that we (the ASDS) as a group had was great to be around again.

I also found out that the Radials will be doing some work with Fletch over the coming months. I'm really excited and think this will be a valuable experience - Fletch has a wealth of knowledge that I'm looking forward to tapping into.

Thanks,
Gabe
