Bolin's 'Jame Wood Olympics' helps players relax on bye week
WINCHESTER — Coming off a loss to Handley, and with an extra week to get ready for the playoffs, James Wood coach Mike Bolin decided to keep his team loose in an unorthodox manner.
Instead of monitoring three days of practice in which his players took out their frustrations on each other, Bolin introduced the James Wood Olympic Games. Bolin had the players divide into 10 teams and held different events over three days. Some of the events included 70-yard suicides, 150-yard bear crawls and a game called speed ball, which is similar to ultimate Frisbee but with a football.
"I just wanted to do something to get their minds off things," Bolin said. "I think we all had fun."
