Athletes Take Note: Iron Eagle Training to Begin

Even while school’s out, MS and US student athletes can work on athletic conditioning. Two options for incoming Gr. 7-12 students are the Eagle Iron conditioning program and a strength training program.

Eagle Iron, a tough, well-rounded workout for incoming Gr. 7-12 Harker student-athletes, is Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. June 15 to July 30. Paperwork must be completed in advance, but attendance is optional.

Participants should eat a nutritious carb-heavy breakfast, wear workout clothes and bring a water bottle. In addition to this conditioning program, Jaron Olson, US athletic trainer, will provide ongoing treatment of athletic injuries as well as strength training instruction. Students who need attention outside of Eagle Iron hours can schedule appointments.

For more information on the Eagle Iron program, please contact Coach Theresa Smith at theresas@harker.org or coach Karriem Stinson at karriems@harker.org. To contact Olson about strength training or treatment of athletic injuries, please call 408-345-9245, or e-mail him at jarono@harker.org.
