Time in Connecticut gym
forged Selman’s dedication
Working with NHL
players showed
assistant captain
the way
By MINH DOAN
Daily Sports Editor
As an assistant captain for
the
Michigan
hockey
team,
Justin Selman has a lot of
responsibilities both on and off
the ice.
But the biggest quality the
senior forward brings is his
dedication
and
work
ethic,
which in turn has set an example
for the rest of the team and
earned him recognition this
past summer, when he was
named a 2014-15 Strength and
Conditioning
Athlete
of
the
Year by the National Strength
and Conditioning Association.
The award is given to collegiate
athletes who have dedicated
themselves to strength training
and conditioning, as chosen by
strength coaches.
“I know that the guys who
won it with or before me were
Derek DeBlois, Mac Bennett,
Zach Hyman and Andrew Copp,”
Selman said. “All of those guys
were great leaders and hard
workers.
“I didn’t really know what was
required to get the award, but
anytime you get recognized for
something you do, it’s nice to see
that your hard work gets noticed,
and it’s something to keep in the
back of your mind when you’re
working out.”
But
Selman’s
journey
to
developing the work ethic he
has today began four years ago,
when he discovered the Prentiss
Hockey Performance gym in
Darien, Connecticut.
The gym, which is about 1,000
square feet and is built inside
an old gas station, is run by Ben
Prentiss, and has become a place
where National Hockey League
players flock to during the
offseason to work out.
As for Selman, it took him only
one step into the building before
he was hooked.
“I knew a few guys who had
mentioned it to me who had
been there before — some college
players,” Selman said. “So I
checked it out one summer, and I
loved it from the first day.”
While the training is extensive
and effective, the biggest lesson
Selman took away from the
gym wasn’t from the trainers,
but from the NHL players who
worked out there.
In
particular,
Martin
St.
Louis, formerly of the Tampa
Bay Lightning and the New York
Rangers, was someone Selman
looked up to.
“He just worked out so hard
everyday, and he has a family,”
Selman said. “He showed me
that there were no excuses. He
would come in at 6 a.m. or 9 p.m.,
whenever he could find an hour
or two to work out. He showed
me that whether you’re tired or
have a lot of stuff going on, you
still have to make time for the
stuff that’s important.”
The gym not only helped
him with his strength and
conditioning, but also helped him
revamp his diet, which gave him
more energy and stamina.
“Going in, I thought I ate pretty
healthy, but (Prentiss) kind of
flipped my diet upside down,”
Selman said. “Everything he
told me to do, within a month, I
noticed I had a lot more energy. I
really leaned out, but I was putting
on weight at the same time. I felt a
lot stronger, a lot more alert.
“I cut out all the processed
food, as much as I could. I might
have wheat bread here and there
if I have to. It’s hard on the road
and in college, but in the summer,
I’m really strict about it. I try to
eat grass-fed meat if I can and
a lot of stuff you find at Whole
Foods. It’s a little more expensive,
but it definitely pays off.”
This past summer, Selman
moved away from the Prentiss
gym, deciding to work out in
Ann Arbor with strength and
conditioning coach Joe Maher.
While Selman said his time
with Maher was the hardest
summer workout he has ever
done, staying in Michigan was
equally about being back around
his teammates.
“In the summer, when we’re
all here working out, some of the
days get a little bit long,” Selman
said. “As a leader, you have to be
the one who guys look to that’s
working the hardest. You have to
be someone who can be looked up
to that is working as hard as they
can.”
Added Maher: “He has a belief
in the program here, and he has
belief in our standards here. We
want a culture where guys don’t
want to leave and stay here and
be together with their teammates
as much as possible.”
But just because Selman wasn’t
working out at the Prentiss gym,
it didn’t mean that he left behind
the consistency he had learned
from his summers in Darien.
“It
wasn’t
always
what
(Selman) was doing in the weight
room (this summer),” Maher
said. “He understood there was
a whole other picture in the 20
hours he wasn’t in the weight
room that he committed himself
to. That started off with nutrition
and went into recovery.”
And the results have shown.
Selman has already scored two
goals and tallied four assists,
totaling six points through four
games — a number he didn’t
reach until midway through last
season.
“He’s got some more jump,”
Maher said. “He’s gained some
speed, and he’s gained a step.
He’s gained some explosiveness,
which is good. He also has that
ability later in practices and
games, so he doesn’t fizzle out.”
Selman’s work over the past
four summers has culminated
into a final season at Michigan,
when he looks to lead the
Wolverines back to the NCAA
Tournament for the first time in
three years.
And if it happens, at least some
of the credit has to go to that old
gas station in Connecticut.
Thome finding her niche,
playing time in Ann Arbor
By BRAD WHIPPLE
Daily Sports Writer
The
Michigan
women’s
basketball team didn’t just lose
critical
leadership
with
the
departures of Cyesha Goree,
Nicole Elmblad and Shannon
Smith — it also lost 59 percent of its
rebounding, one of the strengths
that boosted the Wolverines into
the 2015 WNIT Semifinals.
Michigan’s
best
returning
rebounders are senior forward
Kelsey Mitchell and sophomore
forward Jillian Dunston, but
they will need help in recreating
Goree and Elmblad-like results.
Mitchell is still recovering from
two seasons worth of injuries, and
Dunston is still finding her groove
at the college level.
That’s where Hallie Thome
steps in.
The freshman is now the
Wolverines’
tallest player
and the first
6-foot-5
center
since
Krista Phillips
(2009-10),
making
her
one
of
Michigan’s
most valuable
assets
beneath
the
basket this year. On her way to
becoming Ohio’s Gatorade High
School Player of the Year, Thome
averaged 19.5 points, 9.1 rebounds
and 4.6 blocks during her senior
year in Chagrin Falls.
The
impressive
stat
sheet
would
make
any
college
basketball program chase the
four-star recruit, but Thome’s eye
had always been on Michigan,
especially after she suffered a
knee injury her junior year that
sidelined her for all but six games.
“I took it as whoever’s going to
leave, I don’t want them,” Thome
said. “It’s basketball at the college
level — you’re going to get hurt. I
wanted to make sure I had people
who had my back, so Michigan
was calling and texting every day
and making sure I was good. It
just helped me realize even more
that they’re always there for me,
and I (was) part of the family even
though I hadn’t committed yet.”
With two weeks of practice
under her belt, the results have
been a “pleasant surprise” for
Michigan coach Kim Barnes
Arico, who has never coached
a player of Thome’s stature and
skill.
Even with the expectation
for Thome to help take over the
rebounding presence left behind
by Goree and Elmblad, there is
still a lot of work ahead for the
freshman. She only just started
seriously lifting this summer,
something
the
upperclassmen
have been doing for years.
Thome is also dealing with the
challenges brought by the bigger
and more physical male practice
squad that the team competes
against, especially since the only
boy she had ever
played
against
previously was
her brother.
“She’s
obviously
still
a
work
in
progress,”
Barnes
Arico
said. “She has
never
played
against the size
and the speed
that she’s going to face with the
Marylands of the world or the
Rutgers of the world. With the
teams in our league, she’s never
experienced that. She’s shown in
the last 10 practices the ability to
hang in there and do a really good
job. But with her, it’s going to be
some days really good, and some
days she’s going to get banged up.”
Added
Thome:
“It’s
challenging at times. … In high
school, I wouldn’t say it was
easy, but I mean, now I’m playing
against people who are bigger and
stronger. It’s definitely good to see
the challenges and take them on
each day.”
But Thome has had a helping
hand in adjusting to college life.
After coming to campus, she
immediately clicked with senior
guard Madison Ristovski — a
familiar face from her past.
In eighth grade, Thome started
attending the basketball camps in
Ann Arbor and caught the eye of
then-head coach Kevin Borseth,
who put her on the Wolverines’
recruiting radar early on. During
practice
games,
Thome
was
placed on a team with Ristovski,
then a senior in high school who
had just committed to Michigan.
“We always joke about it,”
Thome said. “I couldn’t catch
the ball when I was younger, and
she is good at those sneak passes.
(Now) she’s like, ‘Hallie, I just
need you to catch a ball. Just be
ready, because it’s gonna come to
you.’ It’s great to see the progress
from what it was back then to
what it is now working together.”
Added Ristovski: “She always
says she couldn’t catch anything,
and she couldn’t finish. We
laugh about it now, because who
would’ve thought four years later,
here she is and here I am.”
Over the summer, Ristovski
partnered with Thome during
weight training and has since
been one of her teachers as Thome
has gotten used to the faster pace
and tougher atmosphere of college
basketball. It’s only one example
of how Ristovski has gladly taken
on senior responsibilities as she
helps foster the growth of the
younger players.
“On Twitter, I saw something
about preseason freshman of
the year. … It wasn’t Hallie. It
was some girl from Nebraska,”
Ristovski said. “I screenshotted it,
sent the picture to her and I said,
‘This is motivation. Understand
what you’re doing everyday. It’s
going to make a difference when
the season comes.’ ”
Thome wasn’t the preseason
freshman of the year, but in due
time, she will have a few accolades
of her own — maybe many. For her,
there couldn’t be a better place to
earn them than Michigan. For the
last five years, it has felt like home.
Now, it finally is.
“I can’t ask for anything better,”
Thome said. “I have to take it all
in, relax and do my thing.”

Three quick goals
doom Wolverines
By ORION SANG
For the Daily
It took just two and a half
minutes for a scoreless tie to turn
into a rout.
In its final matchup before
the Big Ten Tournament, the
Michigan women’s soccer team
lost to No.
10
Penn
State, 3-1.
The
Wolverines (6-3-3 Big Ten, 11-6-
2 overall) struggled on offense
for most of the night, and several
critical breakdowns on defense
allowed the Nittany Lions (8-2-1,
13-3-2) to score three goals in a
two-and-a-half minute span near
the end of the first half.
“They were a better team
tonight,” said Michigan senior
midfielder Corinne Harris. “We
can learn from their performance.”
Michigan started off the game
controlling
possession.
The
Wolverines’ first scoring chance
came when Harris was able to
twist past a Penn State defender
and quickly unleash a shot, but it
was too high.
Despite the early advantage in
possession, Michigan was unable
to generate many other scoring
opportunities.
The
wet
field
may have also contributed to the
offensive struggles, as players fell
down multiple times and many
passes were unsuccessful.
“We played really well for the
first part of the game and created
some good goal-scoring chances
in the first 20 minutes,” said
Michigan coach Greg Ryan.
As the first half progressed,
the Nittany Lions began to take
control on offense and almost
scored 29 minutes into the game.
Penn State forward Mallory Weber
took a header off a free kick, and
sophomore
goalkeeper
Megan
Hinz was not able to corral the ball.
Luckily for Michigan, Hinz fell on
the rebound and saved a goal.
But Penn State scored just three
minutes later.
A Michigan defender turned
the ball over, and the Nittany
Lions took advantage. Forward
Raquel Rodriguez received the
ball from a teammate and scored
off a shot from the left side.
It was only the beginning of a
scoring onslaught.
A minute later, the Wolverines
turned the ball over once again
on their side of the field, and Penn
State forward Megan Schafer
slid the ball past Hinz, making
Michigan pay for another mistake.
Penn State wasn’t done, netting
its third goal a minute later, when
midfielder
Nickolette
Driesse
scored from 30 yards out to beat
Hinz.
When the onslaught ended in
the 35th minute, the Nittany Lions
had three goals in two and a half
minutes.
“We’ve just got to defend
better,” Ryan said. “We gave away
three very unpressured goals.”
Despite
the
large
deficit,
Michigan didn’t go out without a
fight.
In
the
87th
minute,
the
Wolverines got on the scoreboard
when senior midfielder Cassie
Collins
hammered
home
a
rebound opportunity.
But it was only one goal, and the
Wolverines know they will have
to make adjustments heading into
postseason play.
“We have to get back to how we
have been defending,” Ryan said.
“We’re not going to win games
with the way we played in the
back today.”
