Are you a mountain climber?

Those on top of
the mountain
didn't fall there.
- GIL ATKINSON

Passing, core strength, talking, recognise our own faults and others, correcting others and our own performance are all areas that we need to work on after today's training session. 

You are all improving but must realise that how you train is HOW YOU PLAY!  An increase in intensity is needed. 

Do not forget your homework?  Double jump, turn 45, etc........ and keep checking this BLOG for your assessment task.

Replace fluids and REST!

PLEASE REPLACE FLUID!  You lose a lot of fluid during exercise and ideally, you should be replacing it during exercise, but filling up after exercise is an easy way to boost your recovery. Water supports every metabolic function and nutrient transfer in the body and having plenty of water will improve every bodily function. Adequate fluid replacement is even more important when you are feeling run down and sick.

Your body is made up of mostly of water. Approximately 85% of your brain, 80% of your blood and 70% of your muscle is water. Every cell in your body needs water to live. You can see how important water is to you.
Water helps remove the dangerous toxins that your body takes in from the air you breathe, the food you eat and the chemicals used in the various products you use on your skin and hair. Other things water does for your body is to cushion your joints. Water carries oxygen and nutrients into all your cells. Water also helps regulate your body temperature.
You need water to keep your metabolism working properly. In order for this to happen, there is a certain level of water in each of our bodies that we need to maintain. If we don't keep that amount, our bodies will start to dehydrate. An easy way to think of it is to think of your car's need for oil. If your oil level gets too low, your engine will start to run rough. If you totally deplete your oil supply in your car, your engine will stop running. Same with your body. Therefore it is easy to see why it is very important to drink six to eight glasses of water a day.
Some of the things that may happen to your body if you do not have enough water are that your blood pressure can fall to dangerously low levels. Blood clots may form. Your normal kidney function is impaired. You may get terrible constipation.
Some of the signals your body gives you of a low water level are constipation, terribly dry skin, and increased incidence of urinary tract infections and reoccurring headaches.

Great Court Session - Wednesday 2nd March

Good effort last week girls!  Pleasing to see so many of you starting to improve your skills.

This is great! Have a look!

On Saturday just gone, at Karrinyup Shopping Centre (yes, Western Australia) the Variety Club Youth Choir organized a FLASH MOB where they all were incognito in the Food Hall, and started standing up in groups singing "We are Australian."

The purpose was to raise money for the Queensland floods.   Each time it is clicked on, money is raised thru Google ads, SO PLEASE WATCH!!!!!! It is a beaut way of supporting those poor Aussies who are suffering because of the floods.  Even if you don't listen or can't hear it, click on the link and let it load a little bit.  Your click will be counted in dollars.
