University Future is Undecided As Devonish Considers Offers by Brad Kelly Long after her competitive days 'as one of Canada's best long jumpers jumpers are over, a career in the political ifield may be a worthwhile avenue {for Nicole Devonish to pursue. * v At only 19 years of age, she has seemingly mastered the art of answering answering questions without revealing revealing too much information. She originally planned to be in Iowa right now, enjoying a four- year athletic scholarship that the ! university offered her last summer, •ji Instead, she is attending high school in Scarborough. "I decided that Iowa may not be the place for me," she said, without going into much detail. Since her silver medal performance performance at the World Junior Track and Field Championships in Seoul, South Korea, last September, offers from some very prominent schools in the United States have come pouring in. ' The University of Nevada-Las Vegas, UCLA, Nebraska, Alabama, Missouri and Rice have all extended extended offers to her to attend their respective respective schools for the next four years. ! So who has the inside track? i' "Well, I'm still in the selection process," she said, trying not to Commit herself to any particular school. v The fact that she has become tired of having to train indoors at the York University site may eliminate eliminate a couple schools, where the winter season would mean moving inside to a controlled climate. The thought of basking under the warm California or Las Vegas sun with- the opportunity to train outdoors year-round would narrow the field slightly. Still, she ships at SkyDome in March. To familiarize herself with the surroundings of the Canadian Indoor Indoor Championships, she was off this past weekend to Manitoba to compete in the Cargill Games. She managed to set a personal best last weekend with a jump of 6.13 metres, and is hopeful that she can draw closer to the Canadian "I decided that Iowa may not Nicole Devonish wouldn't come right out and say so. "Year-round training is beneficial," beneficial," she agreed. "Training indoors indoors is hard on your body, and injuries injuries happen more often because of the constant pounding. "There's a lot to be said for training outdoors." Spoken like a true diplomat. Devonish is currently preparing for the Canadian Indoor Championships Championships which well be held in Manitoba Manitoba on February 20-21. A placing in the top two at the meet, providing she meets the qualifying standard of 6.45 metres, would qualify her for the World Indoor Champion- record of 6.61. "It's still early in the season, so the jumps are lower than they would be if we were outdoors," said the Newtonville native. Still, she is further ahead in her training at this point in the season than she may have expected. Since Christmas, she has been training on her own, without the aid of a coach. "My coach had a baby recently, so I've been on my own to train. It has been a little rough," she said. Certainly not as rough as a sports reporter trying to pry à university university commitment out of one of Canada's premier track and field athletes.

Speed and acceleration Skating speed is a tremendous asset in the composition of all successful teams, and you can help your players develop it. Skating speed creates pressure on opposition players to react more quickly so they make more mistakes. Offensively, speed creates time and space for your attackers while limiting opponents' reaction time. Defensively, speed takes away time and space from opposing attackers, limiting offensive options and forcing errors. To skate faster, players must develop an efficient stride before increasing stride rate. Players will increase their speed if each stride includes optimum push and increased leg .movement. In initial thrust, players must rotate their skates outward at a 90-degree angle to the chosen direction, driving out hard with rapid, running strides. After 5 or 6 quick, choppy strides, players should begin normal striding patterns. To develop maximum thrust, ensure that knees are bent at about 90 to 110 degrees and body weight is transferred over the pushing leg. Players must maximize the thrust length by fully extending, the hip, knee and ankle while thrusting laterally and downwards. Rate of recovery is crucial to increasing speed. Make sure players use fast leg movements with heels kept close to the ice for faster recovery, while the skate is brought back under the body's centre of gravity. In practice, have players develop the proper co-ordination for striding, first by slaloming, then striding slowly, focusing on hard pushes and quick recovery. To increase stride rate, have players run on the toes of their skates and then, working in pairs, use ropes to pull each other around the ice.
