Summer 2008

Welcome to the WUSTL Soccer Summer of 2008 fitness site.  Please read the Fitness Program page first and the rest will become clear.  I think it would be great if players added comments with what is working for you and where you are having difficulties.  To do so you will need to be added as a member to the site.  Send an email to me at jeffrey@pomranka.net and I will add you.

While the summer separates us with distance, we are still one team working together toward a common goal.  Everyone needs to put forth a strong effort this summer and that is much easier to do with the support of your teammates.  Add your encouragement or ask for help by adding comments here.
