Super late post again

Wanted to post since last week but didn't cause i suck hahaha.

Uhhh. We had ONE POOL SLOT LAST WEEK.
.. Basically for weehong to access us? If I rmb correctly, there was me, karyee, jazlene and cheryl (for the girls). We played attack against the guys.. Oh that day I kept anyhow whacking the ball :/ 99% hit the frame or went out. Weehong says that Jazlene has the eagerness to win which can be seen by her eagerness to get the ball in by shooting? Ok (Y). I'm not sure how long can Jazlene continue to come for training.. :S What will happen when sailing season starts? Cause if she comes for training regularly like what she's doing now, we can have one more good player..

K. Then LAST THURS' POOL WAS CANCELED. Cause Mr Sim was on mc. .. wasted pool slot. Hmphs. So we had land on friday. No running except for warm ups. Then the usual pullups (no inclines!) and pt + static. Died badly. Muscles ached till monday loll.

We had ONE POOL SLOT THIS WEEK. BECAUSE YTD'S SLOT WAS CANCELED as Ms lim was on mc. WTH?!?!! -_- We did sprinting....... My stamina sucks. After 100m = died. Anw Wee Hong says we are to do quality laps, not quantity. Cause no point doing 123456789 laps if you purposely do it slowly. So we should put in more effort and do properly and when he sees that everyone is doing that the we won't have to do so many laps. And. For sprinting, we should put make sure that we're paddling with the whole paddle blade pulling the water, as in it should be fully submerged. Hm.

Then moving circle passing? ..........
#1: Keep moving, don't stare at the ppl catching/passing the ball and stone there!!! And some effort should be put in the reduce the gap between you and the person in front. .. Actually this suggestion is for the freshies. -_-
#2: Since you have nothing to do other than keep moving, try to look at where the ball is so that you are ready to recieve the ball
#3: Hand to hand passes
#4: If you didn't catch the ball pls have a sense of urgency and get it quickly. Or if it ends up closer to someone else eg. the person behind, the person should be nice and help to pick the ball.
#5: If you're the one starting the ball after the ball is lost, pass off quickly. Don't have to get into the circle before passing off, just pass the ball in first so the exercise can continue. Then you join back in.
#6: If the person in front is fumblign with the ball/having some problems with moving forward/stoning there pls feel free to overtake him/her to close up the gap and let the ppl behind have more space to move.

Ball passing.. High balls, fast balls, normal balls. Trick to high balls = use your wrist more + release slower. If you swing your whole arm down = the ball goes down? And look at the person you're passing to, not at the ball. This will increase accuracy.

Shooting. There are many different ways of shooting.
One is just the normal straightforward shot. (Y) because the ball can go faster and allow less reaction time for keeper. (N) as it's er straightforward, easier to block, no element of surprise?
Then there's the one where you use your body and swinging your arm back. (Y) as there is wider angle for shooter, the keeper needs to guess where you might be shooting. But (N) as it's slower + the movement is so big and obvious to the keeper. Then underhand shots.. Er basically that's how wee chye shoots. To be taught to us I think.
So when you are shooting, it is best to have a variety of ways to shoot so that the keeper won't be so sure of where you're gonna shoot? So for example if you keep shooting high balls and you realise they're all being blocked, you should try a fast ball. Anw we're supposed to train up our fast ballz. :S

Keeping.......... MAG YOU BETTER FASTER COME BACK IF NOT I BECOME KEEPER LIAO T_T -_- Anw main thing for keeper to possess is confidence. If i rmb correctly :O Dunno la. Then need some boat control la duh. Err. And height naturally gives an advantage. Nothing much here.

Er I guess there's nothing else from weehong? Yea I have quite a poor memory.

K so we went to night slot last night as the usual one was wasted !@#$%^&*. We being me, jy, ky, gene, stan, stuart. Erm we did stern turns. I am quite emo because my stern turn cannot reach what's the best I can do. The first or 2nd night when we were doing stern turns, my bow went over the ball leh .. Now my stern cannot go sp deep liao ie my bow cannot come up so high. :( Guess we all need to practice stern turn more so we can do it consistently. And I need to start learning the left side stern turn cause now it's at level -123456789. So for stern turns, things to note include:
-Extending your arm till the stern of the boat at the beginning + keeping your arm straight and extended till you complete sweeping in the shape of a semi circle.
-Bring the feet to the paddle not the other way round
-Lean back a bit/shift your weight to your butt (stuart say one)
-Don't have to paddle one whole lap before you do a stern turn, just a short distance but with more effort (go faster/more agressive/ANGRY!-quoted from stanley) and do the stern turn. Don't wait for your point to drift before slowly extending you paddle.
-Then after you can do the stern turn, you can try using more strength so the stern will go deeper? and you'll complete the stern turn faster.

And we tried dips. Failss. Then..? Passing. And the 'hitting the water with your paddle' thingy which i would like to master hahahaah >:D im lame.

k. land training tmr! asked stanley for runnign cause we havent ran for a while..

Hmm. Anw I'm glad that ppl are taking the effort to come down for training. Jazlene never reaches before 4pm de. But she still comes down. Don't really know the reason though. But that's a good thing :) And I also appreciate ppl coming down for the night slots esp since they're not compulsory. And of course thanks to stan and stuart who were 'coaching' us instead of their own team mates. Haha.

Hope everyone will get to train together as much as possible and improve as a team :D

Btw, Cheryl, Mag and Mariel, if you're planning to go overseas/cant go for trg due to other reasons during the hol, can you give me the dates? Need to plan the hol trg schedule.. Thanks!

Uh uh and we still need to find some way to pass the stuff we bought from kiddy palace to the 2 kiddos. hurrhurr.

CONGRATULATIONS U'VE REACHED THE END OF THIS POST.
