Our team was treated to a great 45-minute tour of SUNY Oswego's Campus Center by Ed Gosek, head coach of the Lakers. He talked about his program, accountability, winning championships, his love of Lake Placid as he went to NCCC in 1979 and watching all the Olympic games. He discussed how the first two-all Americans at SUNY Oswego were from Lake Placid, Peter Sears and Greg Preston respectively. Butch and I were very pleased with his message to the boys and being able to see the team's locker room was an added bonus.
He also discussed staying healthy. As we approach the most important time of the year we need to do our best to stay healthy. Each player can take personal pride in:
1. Getting proper sleep at night throughout the rest of the season
2. Re-fueling after physical activities (chocolate milk, raisins, 1/4 bagel with peanut butter, fig newtons)
3. Only using your own water bottle (no sharing)
4. Washing your hands throughout the day especially at school
