Yolanda's Reflection Journal

Reflection on training on Wednesday, 29th October 2008

Drills: Running 2.4km, Skipping - 300 skips & 50 double skips, Agility Ladder & Hurdles, Ball Handling, Match.
Focus: Improve stamina, to have swift movements, to improve coordination, to better our control of the ball.
When doing 300 skips, I was already exhausted. It got even worse when I started doing the double skips. Doing double skips is not my forte. Therefore, I took a really long time to complete it. However, the cheers from the sec 1s encouraged me to complete the double skips. Later, as we proceeded to the agility ladder and hurdles, I was quite distracted as I was very tired after the skipping. Luckily, I managed to focus in the later part of this drill. Lastly, we played matches against the seniors. Through these matches, I learned the correct way of defending as my previous way of defending was wrong. In Conclusion, although we did not do much drills in this training, but i had benefited a lot from it.

Cheers,
Yolanda

well done yolanda! whenever we do physical training, it is always a tug of war of your body and mind. The confused signals that you had during the drill would easily caused distraction and exhaustion. Most of the time, it was the middle part of the drill which was very tough. it meant that you neither saw the start nor the end of the drill. It was a feeling like floating in the middle of the sea when no land could be seen. When this happens, the support from the rest and your will would be very crucial especially the latter. How well you self talk to motivate yourself internally makes the world difference. For this drill, you managed to focus on the later part. Challenge yourself to focus longer for the next drill. 加油儿!
