Monday 5th December-Hockey
Only four down my end of the pitch tonight, poor attendance due to the cold and a good few of the girls having injuries. Was told that at their match at the weekend-FOUR girls were injured, stuff like broken hand, hockey ball to the face, sprained ankle and something else were at the top of the weekends‘ injury list……and here was me thinking that rugby was the injury prone sport
Was actually great having only four down cos it meant that I once again got plenty of practise at just hitting a ball. I also felt like I had some sort of a teeny tiny notion as to what they were talking about tonight. Up to now everything was looking the exact same
swing, hit! Now, I’m kinda half remembering names of shots/swings, half recognising hand/ body positions and the like.
These are a few snippets that made sense tonight…..the rest is waaaay beyond me.
When receiving a pass
*Don’t tense grip cos then the ball will bounce, just hold lightly.
**Angle the stick so that the bottom of the stick is facing forwards/other person.
Swings
*Full Swing-Two hands at the end of the stick and swing with a really loose grip
*¾-Move left hand up from the bottom of the stick and pull the right in to join it, swing them same way.
*Did another swing were ya lift the stick straight up and then swing with ¾ grip..like winding something up.
Practised a few other shots
*Cant remember the name of it, but practised it loads last week, its were your stick grazes the ground fully and makes a circle.
Lunge out really low on one leg, hands at the bottom of the stick and swing but you want your stick to be parrallel to the ground-no angles. I always forget the parallel part, need to really bend down further and let the stick to fully graze the ground-a nice, speedy powerful shot when done right.
* Reverse shot-Hands at the bottom of the stick, lunge out on one leg and just whack the ball….lots said about angles and placement of stick on this…but it was lost on me…lunge and whack were my mental notes.
Going to make time during the week to practise dribbling the ball-havent had a chance to play with this and I think with a decent amount of practise it’ll come quickly.

Thursday 8th December-Hockey
Have had a really, really tiring week workwise so basically woke up this morning shattered and achey.
Hockey was horrendously embarrassing. Numbers weren't massive so all the teams trained together.A lot of random games tonight and not much skill work because it was sooo cold.
First few games were all about creating space and possession of the ball. Didn't get a touch of the ball at all for this hour
(no tackling allowed so just intercepting passes or receiving passes)....yeh that bad. In fairness I was happy enough to stay out of everyones way and just mark my player.
Got a few attempted passes to me during the last 20mins or so of training..but I kept thinking they werent for me..
......and mucked them all up..horrendous!!!
Got some practising to do at the weekend..get the confidence up so i can start calling for shots.
New conditioning programme for tomorrow...yes..I am excited
I like new stuff! 0 -

You did just fine.
Indeed!
I figured afterwards that it may have been a slight oversight on my part:D:D
But in fairness, I only do what I'm told..and Will didnt mention numbers..and my brain would not connect those dots.
Just go heavier next time....ideally I'd like you to get to the stage where the weight is significant enough that you struggle to get 1 complex done per minute.0 -

Okay, I can do that, 27.5kg-30kg next time methinks I can already seeing myself slowing down pretty quickly once there's a bit of weight on the bar cos it was easy to just chuck an empty bar around! 0 -
Monday 12th of December-C2
Went to hockey but noone else was there Was in good form so decided to rush to the gym before it closed.
Had to train in Northwood today because it stays open later than the other gym.
Con Block-10mins
Treadmill-think i started the pace at 12.5 and built up to 14.
Haven't done this for conditioning in yooooonks...mainly cos I find it so tough.
2.16km in 10mins=a sweaty mess
Max HR 195 Av HR 178
Work Block 1-15mins
5 Goblet Squat 27.5kg
10 DB Pushups rows 7.5kg
8 rounds in 14.46...can definitely get this faster, squats were easy.....just the pushup rows
Max HR -199 Av HR-177
Con Block-10mins
Treadmill
Decided to give this a good bash but I did want to give up the ENTIRE way through. I havent done anything proper 'hard' in a good while and after yesterdays **** training session I kinda just felt like pushing hard and putting in a proper effort to see what i could do.
2.35km in 10mins=a complete and utter mess
Pretty good, think the furthest I've gotten on this block is 2.42kmish and that was when I was doing conditioning regularly.
Max HR-201 AV HR-187
Yeh..I would have sat around for AAAAGES before doing the last block, was pure knackered and feeling a tad unwell..but gym was closing soon sooo.
Work Block-15mins
10m Bounding
10m Catapillar Walks-tried to do these with teeny tiny shuffling steps instead of my normal way:D
Didn't have my yellow lines to show me where 10m was so just guessed
~16/17 rounds in 15mins
Max HR -185 Av HR- 169
Wahoo! I feel like I'm a day ahead of myself:D Now, what to do tomorrow?!?0 -
