A Short Training

today we were to report to school at 2.30pm. and we needed to be punctual but as usual,, not everyone was punctual. but at least everyone reached before 3pm. coach came close to 3pm and decided to ask us to change into boots as he was afraid e rain may come. so we did not go to gym today. we did our warm up before coach came. tanto and vani were slightly late and did their own warm up. xin xuan came even later. i dunno why though.(:

shariff[i dunno how to spell],, jun jie,, and 3 other guys came to help out.[ one is sze ting's classmate another i tink is sth yang one then e last 1 is i tink perry or wadeva his name is.]

then for today's training we were split up into 3 grps and trained diff things. defenders train how to clear balls den attackers trained how to shoot and center mids,, last man and stopper did crossing of balls. all this lasted for about an hr plus. soon,, tanto left to go home for her halloween party. then everyone gathered to do some other drills while e attackers cont wif their various shooting drills. hui shan left at abt 5 i tink. cant rmb. X=

at ard 5.30pm or so,, coach let us play game. i was expecting a half field kinda game but in the end he said play full field and 11-a-side. we were then split into 2 grps. then got a few guys joined each grp. i tink my grp won? lols. but it was quite tiring for everyone. coach left early. slightly before 6.30pm. then we end e game at ard 6.30pm cos got ppl injured/not feeling well. e rest were oso quite tired alr. i tink today everyone did quite well. *CLAPS!*

thats all!(((:

training on 22 oct 2008

it's been raining these few days(because of the monsoon seasonand bla bla bla....). yesterday was no exception. so, due to the lightning alert, we started training with doing physical in the gym. some of us did training for arms, some did running.

finally, the lightning alert stopped! yeah! we could go out to kick in the field! we pracitced quite some heading and high ball control and i screwed up! >.<>

anyway, training ended with some passing and dribbling drills. and at last, we went around to look for 3 missing balls. i think the school should have some lights around the field. it would ba easier for us to look for missing balls and also, see jam(kidding la...)

so, to end this post, i wish everyone a happy day and get some good rest for tomorrow's training(sorry wont be joining u guys - i mean girls)! let's all jiayou tgt! soccerettes WHOOSH!

with love, huishan:)

Today's the appetizer
Friday, October 17, 2008

Hey peeps,

I spent 15minutes to get a title for this entry. So i hope this phrase would be relevant throughout this entry.
Hmm, training was pretty normal today except for the fact i know that, the training is fast becoming tougher each time. We did several placement drills, passing and gameplay drills. All very basic drills and essential for our improvement.

Think today's scene which happened btw me and szeting is really shit funny! she practically tried to do this pepsi-cola 1,2,3 move on my legs during one of the drills.
There were other funny moments too but this makes it to the top of the table!

Generally, i feel that what coach says is true, our team can make it one, it's just that we have to work uber hard, and have the passion for the sport. So that means, practicing whenever possible. watch more soccer games(LIVERPOOL) and jog whenever posslibe.

I came into this cca becoz i felt that i can learn something new, something useful and seriously, i've found it in soccer. So i hope everyone feels the same and take the initative to learn more.With improved skills m We'll be able to win matches and became a strongeer team.

Like coach says, it's just the appetizer so brace yourselves.

Today was a bright and very very very sunny day.
And at 4:30pm today, we kicked balls.
I started earlier, at 3:30pm because of keeper's training.
Everyone stretched, everyone kicked, everyone cramped.

So to put it this way, training today was more of physical, running, and yes, brushing up on our footwork skills.
We started out with everyone standing in a straight row, and another person will go down the row, doing passes, volley, heading, trapping etc.
Coach was all geared up, as usual.
And it didn't help much under the sweltering heat, but everyone persevered.
We sweated, salivated, got dehydrated and yet, we survived the ordeal.

And Chai was there!
Thank you for coming, Chai!
Our seniors have all disappeared for the A Levels and we really miss them.
You know, having to look at Xian Wen all the time, it gets boring. (U'oh)

I learnt ball handling during keeper's training today.
My ball handling skills are still not up to standard, but I shall work hard.
And like Sze Ting said, I have the potential to be a Number 1.1 Keeper, because Yiting is our Number 1!
(:

Coach says that he has a new job at a HDB place, as a legal loanshark who calls people up to settle flat debts.
He says that he work with many aunties.
May he hook up with an aunty and live happily ever after.
We shall all wish for his happiness.

After the footwork drill, we drank water.
And then the real fun comes in.

Coach created 3 stations:
1) Dribbling 6 balls within a distance under 40 secs.
2) Continuous shooting of 8 balls into a small corner of the goalpost.
3) Continuous running and touching of many many discs for about 2 mins plus.

One station took us about 5 minutes, or maybe more than that.
The dribbling was quite butt- cramping.
I don't know about the running and touching discs, but it looked like a major killer.
The continuous shooting was fun, but very challenging because you have to drag the ball straight in between your legs, face your target properly, position your leg well, thighs lifted, lean back, and KICK!

YEARRRGHHH!

There was a touch rugby match just now and we cheered loudly when our rugby team scored.
Let's all hope that we'll have such avid fans supporting us for our match too!

Soon, it was nightfall, so we packed all the equipments and went up to the grandstand for some light exercises.
We did about 60 times bending of both right/left leg, 50 push ups, squats and about 100 cruches/vampire thingy.
Coach started talking gibberish, which was not surprising of course.
Something about Jia En and watermelon and Jam and her Indian issues.

Then we had a de-briefing.
Coach gave a talk about practically everything, and truthfully, it was very uplifting and motivating, and personally, I feel that it boosts my morale.
I think Coach is putting in so much effort, and we should too, because as a team, we support our team mates, don't we?
And yes, it's good that Coach pointed out the roles we play in the team, like how our Captain is working very hard for the whole lot of us.

A very big thank you to Sze Ting, and from now onwards, we shall all work together to help her.
Sze Ting, don't be afraid to nag/scream/scold us, okay.
At most we'll just give you hate tags in this blog.
Just joking, la (:

I am very happy today, because I think that some people have started to slowly open themselves up, warming to us.
Thank you Candice, I really appreciate your offer to help keep the equipments just now.
It was very helpful of you, and we hope to hear more of that sweet voice of yours often, okay?

Basically, everyone did well today.
And I am very, very proud of my dearly loved team mates.
Like Coach said, these are just the "Appetizers", therefore, no matter what, let's just focus, look ahead and anticipate what's to come.

Training officially ended with Coach's famous "Adios, Amigos!" farewell bid.
And Sze Ting suddenly became pervetic and started to carry Sharron.
I didn't know Hamsters can fly.

Thank you everyone, for helping Jing Wen and I to keep the balls, and yes, I almost fell into the bag when I tried to reach out for the balls that were at the bottom.
):
It felt scary.

So YUPPS, we SHOWERED, I didn't. And we left afterwards.

And basically, here's my post for tonight, to sum up today's training.
I apologize for being very long winded!
And yessaa! Let's all look forward to the next training's post (:

Rest well, sweethearts, and drink salt water.
Stretch!

Training today was funfunfun!
Alot of physical, 45 mins each. Challenging, but we made it through together!
Did more things like sit ups and all and really made me feel like we achieved something together cos today we didn't train as a whole team :(
Claps to those who were injured but ren-ed and continued to persevere, like joanne, bao xian and sharron!
That's the spirit man.

Coach shared some stories after training too, very inspiring ah! Haha let's make him proud okay girls! We shall work harder from now on cos i know we're capable of more! :) OH yeah, just wanted to say, i know everybody has their fears and limits but we had to break free of them in order to succeed alright girls! Haha thanks ah joanne, for paotoh-ing my secret fear of chesting. I was like screaming all the way that day la! HAHA(:
