Things we did on 23rd October 2008, Thursday.
Drills: 2.4km run, agility ladder and hurdles, skipping, 10 rounds barefooted on grass, lastly partner stretching.
Focus: Improve stamina, have quick thinking, become more nimble, improve ability to jump higher which is important, improve strength of ankle, in order to avoid muscle aching and to warm down.
Some steps for the agility ladder was hard and puzzling. while trying, i was eventually confused and was stuck not knowing what to do. luckily, the seniors were nice and taught me. hence i was able to get the hang of it. Especially steps that involved whole body and mind coordination, i was lost at those that involved beats. for example, drills like "in... in... out...out". i was not focused enough. Skipping improves jumping ability which is crucial for basketball. Also, it improves my stamina. Then we ran on the grass without wearing shoes, to improve our ankle. So that the chances of getting a sprained ankle was reduced. Lastly, we did partner stretching. Then we ended with a smile as it was another day we all had exercise.

great mandy! I suppose when you said you got lost and confused along the way, it also meant that you were not that focused as you had wanted? when i mean focused, it means you discard all other thoughts and concentrate only what coach and others were saying and teaching? Am glad that you ended with a smile, it means another training triumph and you have proved yourself to better compared to the last training.keep it up!
