“Hey Barry are you ready to go work?”
“Yea Anthony.”
“So are we going to start with footwork drills or lift or do conditioning first?” Anthony asks.
“Umm I think we will run some sprints first then go into the footwork drills.”
“Okay like are we going to lift today or is it just a day for footwork and cardio?”
“For now were going to do sprints and footwork. Then when the rest of your friends get here we will go lift.”
“Okay sounds good.”
Anthony Runs sprints. “Wow I’m feeling more tired than usual today.”
Barry reply’s “maybe you need to get more sleep when did you get to sleep yesterday?”
“I went to sleep at about 12 because I had a big project to do.”
“You definitely need to get more sleep at the latest you should be sleep by 11.”
“Yea I know school has been real crazy lately so my schedule has been all messed up.” Anthony says
“Okay I think that’s enough sprints. go get the speed ladder and take it to the hill over there.”
“Okay Barry.”

“Okay what you want to do now is run through the ladder two feet in each hole. Go up and down and repeat.” Barry explains
“Oh and Anthony don’t forget to keep your feet close.” Barry Adds
“Anthony your friends are here so go get a drink and meet me in the weight room.”
“Okay I need to go get my wrist wraps so I don’t mess my wrists up.”
“Okay just don’t take too long we need to get started and don’t have much time.”
“Yo what’s up Latrell.”
“What’s up Anthony why are you sweating already?”
“I came early to run sprints and do footwork with Barry.”
“Haha that’s funny you never come early let alone to run.”
“You’re right but I was trying to impress Barry you know he’s a legend.”
“True but you know I’m about to show out in the weight room.”
“Ha-ha you know you’re weak.”
“Pshh okay bet you I lift more than you do today. I’m going to make you look like a little ant.”
“Let’s make a bet whoever lifts more today wins.”
“What does the winner get?” Latrell asks.
“Loser has to admit how great the winner is and say it on twitter so everyone sees.”
“Okay well come on we are going be late.”
Anthony and Latrell enter the room.
