How we do things U.P. North
Great little story from my own Lake Superior State University about the girls softball team. With the team getting a little sick and tired of practicing in doors, our second year head coach Lori Shimasaki decided to shake things up, and take it outside. Despite the cold sup-zero weather and waist-high snow, the girls took in some diving drills, and used the snow to their advantage. Things like this are great for team bonding and morale. I don’ t think the team will be out much today, though, as I write this we’re suffering from freezing rain/sleet/snow. Brutal.

Awesome! I’d like to see an A-Rod go out and brave the cold like that!

Ack! I am so cold looking at that photo. So cold!
Jeff-no doubt these girls are tough. Even the home games in April are brutal at times.
Soxy-I don’t blame you, especially if you’re not used to this type of weather.
Thanks for dropping in…

Oh my goodness, does that ever look cold! And fun! That looks like so much fun. Thank you for sharing.

Kristen-we have to make our own fun up here in the winter. The kids live outside in their snow suits.
