A Day Without Coach Nick
by Lee Huey Yuen
Training started with a missing person. Where did coach Nick go? Instead, training was coached by our two leading ladies, Valerie and Charmaine! We did some killers in the field, watched by the whole crowd in the canteen, and then went back into the gym. Warm ups were led by Von, who then passed the time over to Charmaine who went straight to conducting the drills. After a short briefing, it was time for some action!
1. Passing in a triangle/ straight line
-went pretty well, although balls were flying everywhere
2. 'The one where, you know, you pass the ball, then it hits a wall (hey, it rhymes!) then the other fella gets the ball, and then shoots?' (the three of us - HY, Von and Lara don't know what this drill is called)
3. Snake
4. Passing, calling for ball and shots (The big Three-In-One)
Then, we moved on to PHYSICAL TRAINING!! =O Everyone found out how physically unfit they are. It was filled with repeated push ups due to the unserious-ness/i-cannot-do-it-lah attitudes of some. It just kept going and going and going, on and on and on… We moved on to the dreaded front and side bridge. 2 words- excruciatingly painful! Some couldn’t keep up for example, Von. (Von says: HOI!) ONE really needed to pee yet wasn’t allowed and it felt so awkward; our star player, HY. Von was in her element when she quoted that she and the rest of us all felt like 'pigs rolling around in mud' because we had to do all this on the disgusting gym floor. EEWWWW...
Finally, GAME TIME! It was overall a good game with a few awesome goals here and there.
Val and Charm did an awesome job coaching G12! Everything went pretty smooth ;)
More pictures coming soon! Stay tuned.
