Speed Training with Angela Bailey

Speed is a critical asset in most sports. Knowing the fundamentals of how to run with technique and form is key in being able to continually develop ones speed. Well, I worked out the details with Angela Bailey Canada's Olympic Medalist. Angela will be donating two evenings this month towards training the Erin Mills 97 Rising Eagles and guests on how to run with lighting speed.

Angela worked with our girls last year and all the girls and parents were excited and had fun. Angela was able to keep the two hours of training engaging, interactive and educational.


It takes a big commitment, dedication and hard work to be able to acclaim Olympic status. The girls will have the privilege to tap into and learn from Angela Bailey's journey to her personal best.

The few years I've coached competitive girls soccer - I've shared my experiences and challenges with Angela whereby she has written a few web articles of great help.

2010 First 11 v 11 Exhibition Game

Great weather, exciting game, we had fun and most importantly we showed up against a team that I believe will be in the running to win the first division this year. For our first game as a team this year played well. I got a chance to look at some of you girls for the very first time playing 11v11 as well as playing in different positions.

Hey, look at those little eagles



I also got a good idea as to what our strengths are and the areas we need to focus on. As this season rolls along we will be able to take advantage of these strengths while developing and finishing off strong.

Katelyn, yes Tanisha did you and Sian here that?


Did you see that Shanel ...what?

Eagle Fit

The success in any team or organization is in its preparation. Laying down the foundation and building the structure is defiantly the less glamorous stage of any successful venture but, its the most important.

In soccer the foundation of a successful team is based on the fitness level of its players. With fitness comes mental toughness " over coming competitive challenges at every level of performance". You feel good, your sharp, confident and you exuberant success.


This is why I have decide to label the month of April "Eagle Fit" three days of the week will be dedicated towards fitness training. The team has assigned two days for fitness (when there is no exhibition game) the other day you should assign your self as personal fitness hour or two.

Just to make sure all the girls are at a satisfactory fitness level to begin the 2010 soccer season a fitness test will be conducted by the Erin Mills Soccer Club (EMSC) and me.

For those girls that require a fitness routine you may contact Nelia.

Just in, my sister Angela Bailey Olympic medalist has just confirmed to work with our girls again this year to increase their speed more info to follow.

Any questions or advice post it here...
