The Williams Outing Club brought
Andy Newell to campus for an evening talk and slideshow, and Newell was gracious enough to arrive early and lead our team in an afternoon training session of spenst. Newell showed us warm-up drills of foot speed and plyos on the flat ground followed by uphill bounding drills. It was fun to learn some new footwork and hops from someone who can demonstrate real agility, speed, and vertical! The evening slide show was also extremely interesting, as Newell spoke about the history, achievement, and goals of the US Nordic team in their quest for Championship medals, and his own parallel journey toward the same means. Andy's bottom line: if you want to achieve something great, you have to take chances and believe in what you are doing. THANKS ANDY!
