Hey guys!!!sori bcoz i haven been posting for a long time...hmmm...first n foremost i reali tink tt we played well tt day against TPJC..WELL DONE!!..hope tt we can keep it up n improve even more..i tink tt e team will not play well under pressure,dis is shown thru e match tt day where we played our game as there is no pressure..so i guess we have to enjoy our games but dun be to complacent also k!!!

Apart from tt i believe tt every player in e team have its own strong n weak points..i guess its easy to spot our own strong points but vice versa for our weak points..so i suggest tt we shld help each other by telling other players bout their weak points n practice on it wif a partner who is better den u in tt area..we can start by posting each other weakness here...n i hope u guys will take e advice tt is given n improve on it..besides tt we aslo need to improve on our basics n fitness!!!

We still have alot of time till Adiv..so i hope u guys will put in more effort during training n there is still alot of areas which we can improve on..u guys wan to be e champions rite???!!!...so work hard guys..remember ure not a loser until u quit n there is no try,its either u do or do not...to elson ur goal will come n i believe in u in fact e whole team believe in u..so dun put too much pressure on urself...

N lastly guys if any of u got any problems whether its bout hockey,relationship or wat juz talk 2 us k..we will help if we can..remember..SHARING IS CARING!!

Hi guys,

Sorry for the delay, i juz want to say that we played well against TPJC, but more can be done guys... dun get complacent ya, coz there is still many more other teams tat are much stronger, so we still have to train hard, dun juz stop there juz becoz we won yea... Its not the end yet, still got long way... So train hard yea, and like wat elson said in his post, attendance is very important, in fact, that shows the commitment you have for the team. I noe its difficult for each and everyone of us to come down for training, coz we got this, we got tat, then got studies and all. But i wuld like to highlight 1 point guys, the JCs are training at very hard, they are having trainings like 4-5 times a week, and they too got studies and all, juz like us, they too are humans like us, juz like us yea, so u get my point. If they can do it, y can't we... I noe nw some might reason out saying "that's y we are in MI" but pls guys, think abt it, it is how much u want to win the competition... The more we train together, the higher the chances of us winning the championship, u get wat i mean. Its juz like studying, the more we study, the higher chances of passing the exams. And of coz, study smart and all comes in, so does training yea. So pls come for training from nw on, we still can do it, but we have to train very hard yea... I noe its difficult, but nth is easy in this world yea, u want it, u got to overcome all the obstacles... nxt yr, some of us taking A levels and all, and it would be difficult, but guys, think of the team, we have been training soo hard nw, and we have to train harder to reach the top, and its juz a bit more, but time is needed for trainings and all, so u'll have to manage ur times and all... some sacrifices muz be made like instead of watching tv, study! so yea... and of coz, dun neglect ur studies too yea.

Ok guys, i really hope the attendance situation can improve coz hockey is a game of 11 men, not juz 8 ppl yea.. everyone counts, and everyone is essential to the team, dun feel tat "Ayiah, the team no need me la" dun give me tat crap all, pls... each and everyone of us is equally important yea.

Now guys, i've got something for u'll to do... I need u'll to use ur heads and think of an fund-raising event we could carry out on Valentines Day. The funds would go to our sch team of coz, then we would be able to enjoy the fruits after tat. So yea, think of an event, try to target it on Valentines Day, if not, juz give ur ideas and proposal... Some events i thought of alr are the Floorball Carnival and Hockey Carnival, give me somemore guys... tks! Let me noe asap yea!

Alrite guys, that's it for now, sorry for the long post again.... it juz flows la when i write... ok, tkcr, see u soon!! And wish all of u'll a very very Happy and Prosperous New Year and all the best to those who have to take exams nxt wk!!!

hey dudes...
here is my heart wants to pour out (after gopal insisting that I blog something) sorry for going missing for a long while..... as i was too lost.. As i cant play for A div so i was very disappointed and did;t know wat to do... but later on (after a very long while) i realise playing hockey itself was my passion... but sadly i could't come to train n games for i did't want to SEE some ppl, a person whom i once i regarded as my brother... but i learnt to put my personal life n professional life into respective...for i want to realise my dreams. for dreams makes life MEANINGFUL, dreams makes us human, and the same dreams will push us further. For dreams are the fuel that ignite the passion in us, and only with this believe... i want to train even when i know i would't be playing for A div... n i look forward to training.. for i'm training with my fellow brothers...

hmm.. ppl.. gopal has a special goal.. tht is to clinch the A division.. he is backed by taufiq and i am sure each and everyone of us here wants some fame and glory.. right?? clinching the title is nt simple.. it is nt simple for us.. it is nt simple for RJC too.. but if u want to make an attempt to it.. u have to start from discipline.. and the most basic discipline is attendance.. hmm.. if u want me to pin point those who have a major problem is this.. it will be:
priveen: priveen.. u are the onli keeper in training for the team.. so no matter wht, when there is a match, u have to be there.. lyk wht nordin said.. w/o a keeper is an insult and disrespect to the opponent.. yup.. i hope u heed tht priveen..
khai: khai.. starting of the yr, u have been very enthu in training.. i was very lazy back then.. as long i have the excuse to skip training, i skip.. but u were there for every single training w/o fail.. but it seems tht its the opposite nw.. u have nt been coming for matches and trainings regularly.. make a point there.. change this habit..
kaiyee: u come on and off.. be more consistent..
sirhan: u simply went missing!! u still wanna play??
wan: nw tht u can come.. please come..
shu yuan: u are in china.. and u are missing out alot of things.. so when u come back.. u have to realli train hard..
and to the rest which includes myself.. wells, applause to us for coming for every training and match.. but keep it up!!
and this is specially to kaiyee and wan.. for god's sake or rather for the team's sake, please stop putting white sticks in ur mouth and sucking it.. smoking is an insult to sportsmen..

i knw u guys have reasons for nt turning up for trainings.. i don't doubt u.. but try to make an effort.. think of where ur commitment is..

i've said my piece..

thanks!!

yoz.. ur cb here...

gopal ask we all to post our feelings here... so... i juz shoot wadeva i can here.. 1stly.. i apologize for my use of language... not for any vulgar words..but 4 my poor command of english here...

ok..let's start wif the session here... dun worri guys.. i won't give any face to u peeps here.. but i assured u... after u read this post.. everything is gonna be alrite.. no grudges..hatred..or wad-so-eva...

taufiq.. start wif u.. sometimes when u say things.. do u actually think wad's on e other person mind? i dun like to concede goals either... who likes it anyway... when the goal went in.. i admit i am darn angry when it crosses the line... so pardon me when i flared up to u.. however.. when u come to me.. r u implying that wad i'm doing at that moment is wrong? elson say onlookers know best.. but.. when e ball is in front of me.. who got the bird eyes view of it? it's me... one thing i know for certain.. nothing is predictable on e pitch... so..dun assume things will be carried out even if i heed ur advice...understand? taufiq.. during training.. i made some mistakes... example? the back pass when we doing e attacking in 3... u raised ur voice isn't it?u ask me to pass properly...rmb? however.. during match.. u made e same mistake as i made..did i scold u for tt? no i din rite? u din pass the ball.. u din set up ur partner? selfish play huh? how many times when elson is by ur side and u din pass the ball to him and choose to reverse?... i know i'm not a good player...but u said muz listen to other advices..? this whole thing is for u.. think abt it fiq...

Firdaus.. better for u to play right back.. instead of mid-field.. i know dribbling is fun all that...but spare a thought for u defence next time u do that...

Gopal.. though that day u're down on morale.. u still played well arhx.. *claps*

Els.. Goals will definitely come, dun get dishearted.. ur goals should come long ago... if only our team are not so selfish...

Mark.. Don't always dribble into the D can? bring it out... and cross...

nth else for others...

lastly.. i know i'm not e best of defenders ever.. but on the pitch.. i do put on my best performaces.. i realli realli tried all my best to defend our goal..and if u ppl got anything to say to me.. pls..after the match.. not at half-time or during the match.. i dun wan to let my concentration to drift...UNLESS.. i realli realli made a stupid mistake... but if it's stupid..i will know that i won't commit again.. i am not a dumb... guys.. i alone cannot handle the defence.. includes my 3 other partners.. we need ppl to come down and help.. we cannot always expect onli gopal come down... we need other players toO... i saw couples of times when taufiq came down...as centre forward he came down.. which the rest should be following... 16.. pls open up... thanks..

after this posting... i feel kinda better... if i had anyone offended.. juz come back to me... now i have nothing against anyone on the pitch... we play our game..

road to championship...

CB... your beloved...

i would like to comment wht nad and fiq told me.. thanks for ur encouragment and support.. i seriously need them more than pressure and still pressure.. and i hope i will turn out to be a gd player..

and for gopal's post.. i don't bear grudge against one another in this team.. yes.. maybe some of u maybe a little rude in the game.. but tht is becoz we all want smth out of it.. in the game, an onlooker sees the game better than the one having the ball at tht time.. so i feel it is alright to tell the others wht to do.. hmm.. but definitely the one with the ball can act on his intinct and nt heed the advice of the other players.. if u think its right to do it.. then do it.. but juz don't blame anyone if u loses the ball..

blaming each other isn't a gd thing to an extent.. this means tht it might be of beneficial to one too.. lets talk abt the nt good side.. it definitely leads to an argument.. and after the argument it will lead to hatred, grudges and dislike.. hmm.. u might think tht "i am nt a petty person.. so i am open to critics.." its wrong actualli.. no matter how "open" are u.. how thick is ur skin, u will definitely nt like it when somebody else's criticise u.. thts the bad pt.. wht abt the gd one?? actualli the gd one weighs more than the negative side.. r/s with the other team mates can be improved after tht.. juz have to talk to the person and things will be fine again.. there is no love r/s in between the guys.. so are things tht difficult to be settled?? okies.. back to the gd pt.. ever wonder why ur frens tell u ur flaws although they knw tht it might affect the frenship?? becoz they meant well.. and this is wht u call a true fren.. so this applies to ur team mates as well.. they tell u ur flaws becoz they meant u well.. they want u to change for the better and nt repeat ur mistakes.. it benefits u nt onli in the game but in ur personal life as well.. trust me.. wht u show in the game, ur attitude, ur behaviour generally reflects wht kind of person u are.. u are 1 person.. u definitely won't have a split personality.. tht explains why.. so ya.. tell ur team mates how u feel abt them.. u can insult me too.. and yes.. i admit tht i would hate u.. but i will onli hate u for tht little while.. and when i see u again, i will thank u.. becoz u make me realise the person i am..

i typed a chunk of words.. and hope u guys won't be annoyed reading it.. i bear no grudge.. i don't have to complain abt anybody.. perhaps.. juz the commitment of some players whom don't come for trainings..

thanks..

Hey guys,

I've got some things to say, which i have been noticing lately abt our team... but 1st, let me remind u'll there is a match against TPJC at delta at 10-12pm, wear WHITE, hope to see everyone there. Pls be at Redhill at 8.45am and PLS DUN BE LATE! Like i always say, punctuality is the best policy.

ok, nw for some serious matters.... lets be open here alrite, i noe there are players in our team who do not like each other, or have something against each other or watsoever! And i want each and everyone of us to post abt each other in this blog. Listen, there are rules to this... firstly, everyone must take part in this, and have to take this seriously, (if one has got nth to post, it means he has gt nth against each other), however he can also post good things like praises and encouragement abt each other as well. If one nvr post, dun later come and say u feel bad and all yea. But one thing, you have to be sincere of wat u say and it muz be frm ur bottom of ur heart, spill out everything u have for each other, good or bad.... I noe sme players are shy, or too afraid to tell the person in his face, so this is ur chance to do it now, sme players are better at writing, rather than speaking face-to-face, so yea... u can bombard each other, say anything u want, no holes barred... but one thing, pls do not use vulgarities and dun get each others parents involve by scolding them too. If you prefer to say it face to face, go ahead do so. This is something like thrash talk, but its not all done on one day alone. Guys, no matter who says wat abt each other, or watever he says, he is only thinking of the betterment of the team, and wants u to improve as well. Pls remember tat yea, he is not there to hurt u, to look dwn on u, or watever, he wants u to win, u too want to win rite, so tink abt it guys. Pls bear no grudges after wat one say abt u, and dun feel hurt or wat yea, becoz we are ONE, and together we will win the championship.

The reason behind this is tat, i feel tat a team to really do well in a competition and to win the championship, all the dislikes abt each other shuld all be cleared. Everything abt each other shuld be known to all, ur feelings, everything da, pls dun be shy or scared to post, dun worry abt meeting that person after u post, coz he will not do anything to u, remember, its for the betterment of the team, we all need to improve, we all have a desire, a dream, a vision, a passion, we are Stakkarat United, and we are Heros, and heros dun quit, so do you want it? Let me now thank Fiq for being honest in wat he feels and says, tat is wat i want to see guys, this is the most important part of being in a team. So dun wait, go post nw!!! Let's begin the road to championship together guys, and wishing all a very very happy new year!

So guys, start posting nw, dun hestitate, dun be shy, dun be scared, u can write anything u want under the sun abt each other. Btw, you can also write abt me too yea, i wuld be gladly willing to hear wat u'll got to say abt me too yea. Well, the PPL Champ has got a few words for you, watever you got, watever u got to say, Just Bring It, guys, just bring it! Thanks again for reading such a long post, and waiting to see ur posts soon!

hey guys
i got a few things to say...firstly, jun hao a.k.a. CB, my intentions of telling you those things are not to insult you or make you feel bad and the last thing i'd wanna do is to look down on our own players. I personally thought that was advice so that it can make you a better player. I improved on my play through both experience and advice and i take every single piece of advice i get positively in the hope that i can become a better player than i was. GUYS, we need to keep telling each other our faults AND our strengths so that we can improve on each others' play and improve steadily as a team. Never EVER reject the person who gave you that advice. Hazwan included. Each and every one of us can keep our mouth shut and not advise anyone if we want to but i'm sure we try to make each other better. There are no self proclaimed 'good players' cuz i can safely say nobody in our team is a 'pro' hockey player. And that includes myself. I'm comparing everyone to seriously good players in singapore and around the world. If you dont want advice then just say it. And please don't say things like "if any one think u r realli darn good.. den.. y stay in this team?" Cuz if you say that many more times then there probably would be people quitting the team. Your choice.

Elson, you are learning to be a good forward. I was in your position last year and i felt the same pressures so i can safely say i know how you feel. What i can say is that you learn through experience and from your mistakes so look at it this way...the more mistakes you make, the better you will be...sounds good? Keep it cool and keep learning...you'll be a great player...your persistence will definately pay off...you've greatly improved since last time so keep up the pace and maintain the level of improvement...

About the game against NUS and temasek (i think), don't take it SO seriously cuz we're still learning as a team. Like our manager says, we need to bond as a team more and learn each others' style of play...we'll get used to each other soon enough. Actually after those games, i don't think all of us were depressed...we were just more tired cuz we played three or four matches almost back to back...who wouldn't be tired? So chill out and play hard...

One more thing...i'm a very blunt and straightforward person...and my words aren't always nice and flowery (especially on the pitch and in trainings) so i hope all of you can understand that and not take it to heart...i honestly just want to make the team better...

hey guys.your supposed "manager" here.i've been reading your posts.and they're rather depressing if you ask me.truth be told,you guys are a fantastic team.one good example is having this blog.that's what's important guys.that you are a team.even if you're not winning matches,you guys stick together and don't point fingers.i think that's really cool.

talk about stamina right,what every team needs is match fitness.personally,me and my captain,ehem yu sheng,think that there's no point in being able to run 2.4km in 10 minutes if you can't keep up during a match.maybe you guys have seen us doing fitness right?well yeah.that's how you get match fitness.loads and loads of sprints.like that time,i'm sure you guys saw what the NUS guys did right?learn from them.maybe that's why they're fitter.and i suggest you do it as a team.after training is the best.it goes two ways.one,you'll get match fitness,two,you bond as a team more.

hey elson!you're not scoring right?honestly,i don't know why.you take shots but they never seem to go in.don't worry man.the more you play with the team,the more you get used to their playing styles.and you'll be at the right place at the right time.your time will come elson.you just have to score one goal.one goal,and you'll be scoring non-stop after that.you have to remember,to be a centre forward,you have to be the "sharpest".you have to have the "killer instinct".the stuff that i quote come from nordin.and if you don't score in a game,don't worry.you'll just put yourself down.know why?coz the centre forward has to have a constant high self-esteem in him/her.you have to be the most ego of the team.look at me.that's why nordin put me in that position.coz i'm the most egoistic brat in the team.you have to think you're the best,to be the best.but of course,only be like that on the pitch.or you'll get on your team's nerves.i hope this helped.

guys,this team is a great team.but you have to believe in yourselves.and writing/typing all this on your blog is only the first step to achieving your goals.don't just say things like this but you don't do anything about it.that will be a waste of time and effort.and all that will come to you is disappointment.and nobody wants that.i leave you with a quote by our beloved coach nordin,"when you think you can't take it and want to stop,think of why you're doing this and what you want."
i hope this helps guys.all the best!

yours till hockey's our life,
nad.

During yesterday game, most of us played badly.We lost and after the game some of us looked really depressed. We should not take our deafeats too hard, even if we lose or did not meet our goals, we should learn from that losing experience and try harder in the next game.
No point having gloomy faces after the game as that will only dampen our spirits, juz look on the positive side and dun pressure yourself too much.It would benefit the team greatly if we leave what has happened inside the pitch, inside the pitch, forget about it after the game.In the game, i believe that most of us are trying very hard to defend our goal and to score goals so try to understand their feelings when they do not meet their targets.We can always do well in the next game.

i tink wad elson says actualli make sense.. but one thing i still dun quite agree to some extent.. actually i feel we do have e stamina.. but we use it up too fast.. we din pace ourself... we run like headless ants.. banging here and there... however..we still nid to improve on our fitness...

u see.. today weather was great for us.. and usualli we play realli well in these kinds of weather.. but today is simply not our day..perhaps is we saw our dear captain gopal being scolded by coach earli in e day... mayb tt is our turning point da.. and we lack of confidence at e backline where we should see our OWN keeper standin and guarding e goal... we also see couple of our play went haywire...

and i won't mention names here... and peeps pls read this carefulli... on e pitch... i do wadeva i can.. nobody wants e team to lose games... am i right? and some of these ppl come and tell me do this do that... r u ppl actualli lookin down on me? or r those "self-known" or so-called good players in our team are lookin down on our fellows team-mate...? pls la.. this is hockey.. if any one think u r realli darn good.. den.. y stay in this team? and once again.. nobody want e team to lose...

i know i post this will somewad put down our team-mates.. but face e fact.. it is happening in our team... and i'm sorry that my character is this way.. i will say anything that's on my mind...

i dunno whether to post this or nt.. was thinking abt it.. team talk, i didn't sae anything.. was disappointed in the team and largely myself.. okies.. lets drop the subject of basic skills, finishings, passings and blah blah blah.. we shall touch on the topic "fitness".. why?? hmm.. i realise tht every team talk we will be talking abt it.. ppl sae but don't do.. so whts the pt of saying it all the time when its useless?! knwing tht our opponents are nt snails or tortoise.. they can run and they can last.. yet nobody is getting this "fitness" thing right.. talk onli.. i also knw how to talk.. the team cannot depend on a few fast players to get the attack right.. the few fast players are also humans.. nt robots.. so its impossible to last the whole game running ard in full speed.. a sprinter cannot do tht too.. so i think we all must do smth abt tht.. seriously.. don't juz talk and do nth.. we are being selfish if we don't play a part in these.. its the basic essential of sports.. everyone in this team is fit.. no one is handicapped.. hadicaps try to exercise.. but wht we do when we are nt hadicaps?? sit ard in a corner and look at gurls??

todae.. everyone can see how fast their players are.. its nt onli them.. other hockey teams are also fast.. we are playing against guys.. nt gurls.. some gurls might be even faster than us.. we nvr knw.. so wht if we can dribble well, shoot well, hit well?? when we have no stamina, everything is useless alright.. i don't want to sae this during the team talk juz nw becoz i don't want to dampen everyone's mood when our moods are alreadi dampened..

i am nt the captain of this team, neither am i the coach or wht.. i am juz a player.. a player tht cannot get his goals.. but then i feel.. as part of this team, i should sae smth when i don't see right.. it benefits us.. you, me and as well as the team..

Hi Guys,

guys.. here's ur centre back talking again... i mean posting...
basically wad i feel personally was that our defence was rather sloopy... can say thanks to me for some blunder today... i dunno wad's getting onto my mind... so sorry ya guys... and i apologise for that beautiful deflection own-goal... basically today i tried to bring the ball towards the right..except for some i realli had to hit towards e left... but i tink the problem lies is... we start from defence..we played the ball towards our right.. but somehow.. when reach e mid-field area.. we tend to switch alot to left... perhaps mayb next time.. we try to contain our possesion @ our strong side... tt wad i feel... today defence was rather bad.. i admit i din control it well enuf... but sometimes i juz feel not right to shout at our team-mates... ya... den midfield....fad were practically "sleeping".. mayb becuz of someone presence ar? haha... CK nice goal dere... gopal good play... and e forwards.. as usual.. no commentz...

tt it for today.. we had a little talk wif nadrah i tink... leak abit of news somehow...so those involve... BEWARE~!.. haha... especially pink shit... haha..

Hi Guys,
There will be training tmr,16 Dec 2005, at Delta. Pls meet at redhill at 1.45pm. Guys, as u'll noe, we need to improve on our hitting, sweeping, stopping, passing, marking, covering and of coz, our fitness. For that, we have to come for trainings guys, and have to really focus on what we want to improve on. During the match wif NUS, we could see our weak points and all, now is time to build on that. So guys, lets train hard yea. NO PAIN NO GAIN. See u tmr.

Regarding the jerserys, we have decided to choose either FBT, Kelme, or Line-7. I need to collect $35 from each and everyone, including ur sizes (both shirt and short), the names to print at the back of ur jersery and ur no. Pls let me your sizes, names, and jersery no. by tmr and the money would be collected on nxt friday, 23 Dec 2005. I strongly encourage everyone to at least make a logo for the team so tat we would have a wide range of logos to choose from. The team name is stakkarat. So yea, get working on ur logos guys and see u tmr!

Here's the match review for today... I feel basically we all did well arhx.. although e sun was scorchin... but we still ran.. ya.. and we actually draw.. actually when compared our fitness with them.. they were far more superior than us.. and they actually play us in 2 teams... we play wif good determination.. keep it up guys.. we can make it @ e A div.. we need juz more communication and support and covering each other asses... yupz.. hockey is a team game.. when we lose the ball... we are making our own team mates to chase it.. which is not fair to others.. so.. pls tink... don't rush into e game.. we play our own game guys...

one point to comment.. Hazwan really improve alot.. which all of us can see on the pitch...

Crescent..... good try at goal..

Hi guys,

regarding tmr's game, pls do not be scared or intimidated or anything alrite, although we are gona vs the NUS hall team, and guys that are a few years older than us, I strongly believe we still can win guys.... think abt it, how will it feel like when we win the NUS team, its not any other teams, its NUS eh.. so yea, come on guys, we muz do it, i noe we can, its whether do we want to do it or not, the desire, hunger, spirit and will power to win must be there. They might be fit, they might be running ard here and there, but we have other important factors that they don't. And that is none other than ourselves. You see, each and everyone one of us is very very special to the team, no matter wat size we are, or who we are. We are the ones who make the team, we are the ones who are gona represent our sch to play against them, and we are going to beat them tmr, but that is only possible if all of put in all our hearts out for the game tmr, come on guys, lets prove to everyone we can do it, including ourselves. See you tmr guys, have a good rest, gd nitez!

Btw, pls bring a blue shirt tmr yea

Hi guys,

Its very nice to see ppl now posting their comments in this blog. hahaha... well this is the first time to i'm blogging too, so Hi-5 mawi. Btw fatimah, wat da dei, yorke gossip become rather complicated due to the involvement of me da. hahahaha. I only helping them da, also huda's fren, so easier for mark to command and conquer, hahahaha. Mark also very very very shy, even she msg him tat, hahahaha.... so mark, do something da dei. For elson, haiz, u ah, hahahaha, u see her online always, u waiting for wat da, chat wif her only da, get closer, talk and talk, then later meet, then sooner or later, when we call you, you will pick and and say, "hey, i at the movie ah wif her, talk to u later". Love is the secret of success. Anyway, elson, i give u some tips. Everyday, go to the void deck, at least for 20mins, hit the ball, first do stationary hit, then later move the ball slightly in front and hit towards the wall. keeping on doing tat da. I last time always kept on doing this exercise until i manage to reach the speed of the ball i have now. This goes to the rest too yea.

Guys, i got this set of training programmes da, the thing is, its damn tough, but it can be done, and if we do it well, confirm we will improve tremendously and can win the A div for sure. The training session is as follows.

FITNESS TRAINING 1st SESSION

set of 300m x 5 in 70 secs/then rest 70 secs and go again... after that break 2mins
set of 300m x 5 in 65 secs/then rest 65 secs and go again... after that break 3mins
set of 300m x 5 in 60 secs/then rest 60 secs and go again... after that break 5mins
set of 300m x 5 in 65 secs/then rest 65 secs and go again...
warm-down/stretch

All work 1 versus 1 ratio

FITNESS TRAINING 2nd SESSION

set of 100m x 10 in 17 secs/ then rest 17 secs and go again... after that break 4mins
set of 100m x 10 in 16secs/ then rest 16 secs and go again...
warm-down/stretch

Both sessions to be done once a week

Yup, this is the fitness training session, this is not created by me, btw, its for the nationals. Guys, I know we are not up to the standard of nationals yet, but guys, we surely can do their trainings, i mean, if they can do it, y can't me. Its tough yes, sounds impossible too rite, but this wat the nationals do guys. We train like them, or atleast attempt and maintain this training programme, i'm sure we will go somewhere. Some of us would suffer from such trainings, it is meant to be that way guys, remember, no pain no gain. So I really hope we are up for it, wat say you, pls give me your comments/feedback, good or bad, juz give ya, dun be shy.... tats it for now, see you'll soon!

Your beloved Player
