Great practice!!!! Nick was being primary coach today bc BombHer is back on skates now and officially being a skater as much as possible! (She's still one of the more experienced skaters though and so is coaching a bit.)
We stayed moving almost the whole 2 hours, which was great (although still pretty low intensity bc practicing technique), and there were super helpful blocking drills for my level. Also had watched a YouTube video the other day where I realized I'm doing plow stops wrong, and so I got to practice doing them right, and I actually got it!
Also we did a thing with lateral movement, and I was good at it bc I've been practicing, which felt really good :)
The only bad news was we practiced hip bumps and I fell twice, right on my hematoma, which has barely gotten smaller in the last month. Even though I had my padded shorts on, on the second fall it felt like it was maybe starting to re-swell a bit (although not as bad as the first 3 times), so I sat out from the rest of the contact drills just in case, which was like 20 min. Sad. There's a sore spot now, and mayyyyybe it's bigger than before, but if so then not dramatically, so that's good :) Next practice is Sunday, so I have awhile again before I'm likely to fall again, so that's good! Also the floor on Sunday is softer than the basketball court is on Mondays and Thursdays :)
