Wed 2 Sept
The usual suspects turned up with some notable absences too. My coaching style is a slow methodical process with significant changes made over time. I can appreciate athletes do not get the full benefit of my sessions due to inconsistancy. This makes it difficult for me to coach them in competition as my coaching on the day often relates to something we have done in training. I am enjoying the coaching relationship between the coaches at the moment, we bounce off each other well offering a constant source of new ideas.
Today we rehursed short, sweet drills at intensity but short duration to prepare for the BKF. The athletes have worked hard to this point and i'm sure the will get out exactly what they have put in.

Killer Hill
Friday 28th August 2009
Once again I find myself on the hill, but today we had a welcome addition by the name of Ewan Mendez (a 'B' Ball player by trade). Ewan trains regulary, has a very meticulous approach to his personal training and always willing to try something new. In attendance was Jordan, Carla, Ewan and myself. After the first rep Carla pulled out as not to aggrevate a slight pull on her hamstring whils Jordan shot to the top followed by Ewan and then me puffing frantically behind them. For the third rep, I sat out and let Jordan and Ewan battle it out. Jordan came through with trailing Ewan who by now was wearing a set of lead boots lol (welcome to the club)

I then proceeded to complete my third rep and found it particulrly harder today on top of the training completed in the week. We cooled off with our slow walk back to the car to begin the rest of the day. Jordan went back to bed and Ewan and I went to work (Oaklands College). Untill the next time, Ciao for now!!

Today was a techical session counter punching and takedowns. Being the holiday period numbers were down but we had an excellent standard and a good range to work with.

Coach Glen Middleton started the session reinforcing block punch counters before we moved on to more difficult drills mid-session
We progressed the session to take-own variations defending against varied attacks. Each athlete stayed with their chosen partner for the duration of the session. Everyone worked well including the coaches.
To finish off we went counter gyaku zuki to hone timing and accuracy. Roll on the British Championships.
