There are so many exercises that can help us as football coaches. One

of my goals as a football coach, was to go to the Supertraining Camp

and see how science could help me become a better coach. Dr Siff and

I talked at length how many different exercises could be tweaked to

enhance a football player's abilities on the gridiron. It was neat to

learn how the Olympic lifts and speed can go hand in hand.

Also, as Coach Davies always mentions, hip flexibility/mobility are so essential

in

our game. The Olympic lifts help you get that full range of motion

while not sacrificing strength, speed, or explosiveness. Also, I

learned at the Supertraining Camp that my martial arts background can

be very beneficial to training football players of all positions. Probably

the biggest mistake that we are all making are the number of reps that we

do and the fact that we do minimal deceleration training (to facilitate sudden

changes

of direction and pace), another vital topic that we also addressed at the Camp.

Dr Siff mentioned that training with multiple sets of 1 rep (of sufficiently

demanding load) to perfection seemed the way to go as an explosive athlete. I

tend

to agree with this. There are other things that we can do that incorporate a

higher rep

scheme, but in our explosive work as footballers we need to hit it and relax,

step back and get refocused for the next rep.

Any comments?

Unbeleivable Sue. When they start sub-classifying a special needs team I say

the whole point has been lost. First it's your kid who's not qualified, then the

next and so on. I say you should all get together and demand that they change

this rule. What next??

I've already written this to one list but am so mad I need to work it out of

my system. A couple of weeks ago I wrote that tim would be in a foootball

tournamount, special needs team, everyone gets a chance to play and everyone

gets a medal. Well not so any more. I just got a phone call from the chap who

organises the teams and tim would find it too difficult and the competition is

too great from the other teams. Of course he is more than welcome to go along

and watch all his friends play for 5 hours and if there is one spare he can also

get a medal. The one place I expected equal opportunity, indeed where he was

promised it and its been denied him. If he can't even play on a special needs

team then what the hell is the point of dragging him to training every week? I

am really pigged off. The reason tim would find it too hard is all down to the

very iffy border drawn for where special needs lie. Most kids in his team are

at levels 1-3 of the register, ie

Sue, Is there no one who has the authority to do something about this??

Why weren't the special needs defined at the time you began practices with

Tim? This man sounds like he'd fit in in the states with all our " win no

matter what Little League coaches. " I hope you get this resolved. I

understand your feelings completely. Don't they have Spec. Olympics in

your area? has played soccer, basketball, swimming, softball, and

bowling with SO.

> g that another lady who goes, who has 7 children, 4 of who play in tims

age group, fails to turn up and they have no team (its 5 a side at tims

age), becoz I am so cross I want this man to be embarrassed by having no

team to speak of. But that wouldn't be fair to the other children but I am

so angry I was speechless on the phone. They could at least have made him a

sub. Turned down as having too great special needs to play on a special

needs team. I am going to write a letter to this man, whether I post it or

not is something else, I am SO pigged off right now.

Hi,

plays soccer with AYSO. She is on a great team with a great coach.

They have been together for 2 seasons and prob next season too.

doesnt kick much, but shes a good blocker and an excellent " throw in

specialist " . And the exercise is great.

AYSO has a special needs team, but they are more for people in wheelchairs.

They are very inclusive - everyone plays, no one is denied and have gotten

much less competetive - playing for sportsman/womanship and focusing on

teamwork and cooperation.

The parents have to sign an agreement that they will not interfere with the

coaching and will cheer fairly to all teams. Or they can be suspended from

the games.

All our kids have great opportunities now. There was hardly any sports for

girls when I was growing up. We played street games only.

So how nice to be a girl, play a sport and be totally included and accepted

as one of the team!

In the States we call it soccer, but never mind. Jan had several years

in kid soccer. I finally withdrew when they were up to demanding a

birth certificates (perhaps in advance of last year's Little League

fiasco.

Jan was on a regular team, with kids a couple of years younger (and her

size and development level). She got no accomodations other than a Dad

who knew nothing about the sport except to yell from the sidelines to

keep her in the defensive position she played. Her job was to clear the

ball when it came into her zone and she did pretty well at it. Not

brilliant, but pretty good.

The coach had never done that before. Years later, he still fondly

recalls the teams that he coached with Jan on them.

I think that is how it should be. When the stages get to real mean

competition, then it is time for our kids to get into a league of their

own .. i.e. Special Olympics.

I will be biking. Oh, the joys of sitting and sweating and going no where! ;o) I hope you have a great time with your daughter. My mom and I are VERY close, that is such an important relationship. I don't have too much separation anxiety from my daughter, yet. She is 10 mos. old and still nursing LOL! However, my oldest son has just hit puberty and that is a WAY scary feeling!

Well ladies it is pretty bad when Madden is talking about some HUGE linebacker on Monday Night Football and the football player weighs less than me.

I just thought it was kind of funny.

I'm looking forward to seeing my daughter today. She goes to school at the Univ. of Tenn. and we live in Illinois so I haven't seen her since the middle of August. She is driving home (long drive--13 hours for me , 9 for her (I haven't figured that one out yet!) I was looking at my journal and I weighed 265 when she left for school and 250 today so perhaps she will notice a change. She is my biggest supporter on my weight loss journey. I probably haven't been below 250 in her lifetime.

So what is everyone doing for exercise today? I went to the Y this morning and swam laps. I used to be the slowest one in the pool but now I am finding that I actually quicker than some people (of course they are probably 80!

Have a great day everyone. Let's do this thing!!

I hear that a lot on the news broadcasts, about a " Big bear of a man " who

weighs 250 pounds at almost 6 foot. That's les than *me* and I'm only 5'5 " !

>I'm looking forward to seeing my daughter today.

Have a nice visit, and I'm sure she'll notice.

>(long drive--13 hours for me , 9 for her (I haven't figured that one out

yet!)

Just don't look at the speedometer as she drives! LOL

>So what is everyone doing for exercise today?

Exercise? Um, well, I'll be doing a lot of fidgeting while waiting on the

phone for someone to answer at the county administration building in a few

minutes. I've heard it may take over a half hour on Hold before someone even

gets to you. Oh, how I dread this phone call!

If all goes well I'll either be walking around the park again later or just

do some treadmill time. I need some exercise for stress relief today.

<<<Well ladies it is pretty bad when Madden is talking about some HUGE linebacker on Monday Night Football and the football player weighs less than me. I just thought it was kind of funny.>>>>

I've said for years I weigh more than the vast majority of our team (Bears) which was really depressing (boy I miss the 'fridge') though I haven't checked in years I'm sure there's still only a few heavier.

<<<She goes to school at the Univ. of Tenn. and we live in Illinois so I haven't seen her since the middle of August. She is driving home (long drive--13 hours for me , 9 for her (I haven't figured that one out yet!)>>>

I'm thinking it might be a combo of you driving a bit slow and her a bit too fast I can get from the NW burbs of Chicago to Georgia in 12 hours and SC in 13-14 hours. plus depends on the time of day you go - I make my best time by leaving about 10 pm or 5 am

<<< I was looking at my journal and I weighed 265 when she left for school and 250 today so perhaps she will notice a change. She is my biggest supporter on my weight loss journey. I probably haven't been below 250 in her lifetime.>>>

that's great! you're doign great and how awesome to have a great support team

<<<So what is everyone doing for exercise today? >>

whew - glad this was wed - I actully did exercise that day - 11 minutes on the bike

LOL!!! Actually, watching Southeastern Conference football DOES take

my mind off the pain. Five teams in the top 10 at this point - how

cool is that! Maybe this will be the year the SEC begins to get the

proper respect?

FOOTBALL AND THE BLONDE......Out of all the blonde jokes, this one has to be one of the best!Football FINALLY makes sense..........A guy took his blonde girlfriend to her first football game. They had great seats right behind their team's bench. After the game, he asked her how she liked the experience.'Oh, I really liked it,' she replied, 'especially the tight pants and all the big muscles, but I just couldn't understand why they were killing each other over 25 cents.'Dumbfounded, her date asked, 'What do you mean?''Well, they flipped a coin, one team got it and then for the rest of the game, all they kept screaming was: 'Get the quarterback! Get the quarterback!' I'm like...Helloooooo? It's only 25 cents!!!!

There are US channels there, but I don't think you will get the game. You can call or send Nina an E-mail and ask what US stations they get.

Hey guys,I AM A HUGE FOOTBALL FAN and I was just wondering if there are U.S. cable channels at the hospital. The big TEXAS vs. OU game will be on the Saturday night I am in Mexicali post op.

THIS is HIGH on my priority list, Almost as important as knowing if my eyes and mouth will be stapled shut. (Sorry I couldn't resist that one LOL). GET 'EM TEXAS.

[Guest guest]

LOL on the importance of knowing if your eyes and mouth are going to be stapled shut....lol..But to answer your question. There are about 5 channels that are in English and I doubt very seriously your going to be able to get the game. BUT to make sure you could always email Nina and ask here if that channel is available in the hospital. I have a feeling your going to haft to get your hubby or someone to record it for ya. Wonder if you could take your computer and watch it? They do have wireless there at the hospital. Just a idea. Best of luck on your surgery. OH btw....GO HOGS!!!...lol
