Posted by Corey Cowick on July 5, 2009 We’re down to one more day at development camp and I think my body is starting to feel good about that fact. But it’s also a little bit sad in a way, because I’m just starting to get into a rhythm. First of all, it’s tough getting up at 7:30 any day of the week. The body is just starting to get into that kind of rhythm and I’m also beginning to feel good when I'm out on the ice. I’m starting to get used to the tempo a little bit. It’s going to take me a while to get back to men’s league tempo now. Overall, it’s been a really good week. I’ve really enjoyed myself and the group of people here from the coaches to the players to the training staff and even the media, everybody has been so good and really helped you out throughout the week. I have no complaints, that’s for sure. It’s coming to an end tomorrow and I’m sure it’ll be a fun day and we’ll end it on a good note, just the way we started it. We’ve learned so much at this camp, whether it was about nutrition, sleeping, naturopathy … just everything. You had to be like a sponge this week to take it all in. Now the important part is going home and draining yourself out. You soaked up all this knowledge and now you have to use it. It’s no good if you just go home and keep going through your everyday routine without adapting to the pro hockey life, if you want to be a pro, at least. There’s tons of knowledge to be had and I know you’re not going to learn everything in one week. But the way it was set up this week, it definitely helped you take as much out of it as you could have. Sometimes, the most fun part of this experience has been just hanging out with the boys. Today, we were watching the Wimbledon final between Andy Roddick and Roger Federer. You had a couple of the European guys who liked Federer and you had some of the Americans who wanted Roddick to win. It was just a little bit of sport to bring the guys together and sometimes, those are the most fun things. The outings we’ve done as a group have been fun, too. We’re going to go to a movie together tonight. I’ve gone out to eat with a bunch of the boys and you just sit around and talk. They definitely had things planned for us that you know will be enjoyable but sometimes, the most fun is just hanging out with the other guys. Today, it was fun seeing the Euros get mad at every serve Roddick had and the Americans get mad at every unreal shot Federer made. Good times, for sure. |
