  1.  Dropping the TM to 85% and using 75% of that seems to be a good call.
  2.  Once the kids found their numbers I adjusted them so they didn't have to load/unload between sets.  I employed the "close enough method".
  3.  3 rounds on the circuit was pretty easy and that's what I wanted.
  4.  We could have done more conditioning, but I'd rather start too easy than too hard.
  5.  Same with Agility work.  The 6 drills on Friday could've been a good start.
  6.  When I ask them how they feel I ask, "Is it a good sore or a bad sore?"  All answers this week were "good sore".  I think I found a good starting point.
  7.  Next week we add 1 rep to the Main Lift and 1 round to the circuit.  I'll also add Single-leg work on Monday and Friday and introduce Starts (Speed Work) on Monday and Thursday.
  8.  I know it's only been a week.  Based on this, I'll do the same thing with all the athletes once they get back in here.  As I go along there will be some tweaks and adjustments made for different sports, but this concept is sound.  Hopefully, Week 2 proves that statement.
