The Why:
In response to COVID-19 and the impact of school closures, the San Diego Unified School District (SDUSD) Athletics Department asked Alex Hannanvash to create some workouts for all SDUSD student athletes. Our student athletes are used to working in teams, training and competing on a daily basis and we understand that the school closures have now created a void that impacts not only the physical aspect of our lives, but also the mental aspect. With the safety of our student athletes in mind all of the activities created can be done by yourself at your home. The goal is to get our student athletes moving, keep them in shape physically, as well as mentally, and have some fun by representing your school and posting your workouts.

The Who:
