Styles of the game.

Hey guys! How are your progress with the healthy lifestyle? Well stay strong and motivated to do something that would keep you at your peak even at any age of your life.Apart from what i covered from the previous post, I would be covering the different playing styles or methods different team uses to their advantage to win games."Practice makes perfect" would be what most teams do to perfect their playing style whether it is the quick and deadly counter attacking playing style or may it be the style where the team would control the game with ball possession .

Here's a video of Manchester United displaying a fast counter attacking situation that they applied perfectly against Arsenal.Notice they put themselves in and easy goal scoring position by using the speed of their players to force themselves in a 3v2 situation. 

Manchester United made themselves famous with this attacking style which many would prefer,Barcelona is a team which playing styles differ from Manchester United, their style of play are short accurate passing and overpowering the other team with majority of the ball possession."Patience is a virtue" and Barcelona is the team that mastered this playing style with their "Tiki-Taka" movement. 

Basically, i hope you guys would have a deeper understanding to the game that its not just people kicking the ball and scoring goals but there are other factors that comes into play in a professional game.However, playing casually would also serve your lifestyle well or it may be just out of curiosity in the game. 

 

And please feel free to comment below if you're interested to know a certain something about football and i'm sure i'll be replying to your questions on my next post! I hope you guys would get something out of this and maybe apply those different playing styles that i've shared or you my even create your own playing style master it step by step cause practice makes perfect right? 

 

So I encourage all of you guys again to believe in what you think benefits you cause "if you dont believe you can do it then you have no chance at all"

How to overcome your fear of water?

Hi readers!

In the last post, i've introduced how Swimming came about. In reply to the comment in the previous post, i'm going to talk about the fear of water, and most importantly, how to overcome it.

Causes of fear of water:

• Exists as an instinctive fear related to the fear of drowning.
• Caused by the fear of the unknown, of what might be lurking below the water surface in deep, cloudy or muddy waters.
• Related to a bad experience that occurred in childhood.
• Fear of water can be passed down from the parents genetically.
• May have been ingrained by swim teachers that used inadequate and/or stressful methods to teach swimming.

However, you don't have to feel bad as everyone has a different level of confidence in being water. I assure you the level of water can be changed depending on certain circumstances.

For example, before i started picking up Swimming as a sport, i also had the fear of water. But after attending Swimming lessons and practicing the skills, I have overcome the fear. However, if i do swim in a lake or oceans, I still have a certain level of anxiety at the beginning, as it is at an unfamiliar location. The point i want to make is that having a little anxiety when you start swimming is normal and everyone experiences it.

Acclimating To Water

The video shown below is a guide as to how to overcome your fear in water.

I hope that these information would provide you the necessary information on how to overcome the fear of water! :)

Motivation through Jogging

Hello readers! I'm Jin Rong and I'll do my best to motivate you through Jogging.

Jogging is a form of trotting or running at a slow or leisurely pace.

Jogging = running slower than 10km/hr.

I'm sure all of you know how to jog but not many are actually jogging the correct way so I'll show you guys a short tutorial video on how to jog properly and another on the correct breathing technique.

Benefits of Jogging

- Increase physical fitness

- Increase stamina

- Burn fat (only after 20 minutes of jogging)

I'll talk more about some of the best places to jog in the next post and I’ll end of this post by showing you motivational video. Thank you for time! :)

Healthy diet before a match & what to wear during a match

Hey basketball fans! Now you all know what's the fundamentals of basketball, I'm going to tell you all what's the correct food to eat before playing basketball to keep you healthy and furthermore, the clothing to wear when you're playing basketball.

Alright, for FOOD. Eat a diet high in carbohydrates, for e.g. cereals, peanut butter sandwich, pasta, orange juice, apples, bananas etc.

 

 

If it is a larger meal like lunch or dinner, eat at least 2 to 3 hours before the game. If it is a snack, eat the snack 1 hour before the game.

 Avoid fatty, greasy food. Avoid dairy product high in fats too!
Drink lots of water before and during the game to avoid dehydration, but too much isn't good. Drink sports drinks or fruit juice would be good.

If you're having a game or having practices in the late afternoon, make sure you eat your breakfast and lunch that day. Some fruits like bananas would be a good booster before the game!

Next, what to WEAR?

Wear a comfortable shirt and pants! WHY? You'll feel better during the game that's why!

The NBA players in USA wear jerseys.

Like this ~

 It looks comfortable doesn't it? You can choose to wear sleeveless, or the shirt you find it most comfortable!

You could wear a finger guard, elbow guard, arm guard, knee guard, and ankle guard to protect all your joints during the game, as incidents might happen.

For shoes, wear shoes that can let your feet to 'breathe', this will allow blood circulation, and thus your feet won't feel uncomfortable.

Motivation through Football

Hey guys, I'll be sharing to you more about the world of Football which most of you may call,Soccer. Soccer is a simple as kicking a ball in the set or preset parameter, with goal posts at each ends and the objective is to score as many goals as possible in order for your team to win. There are mainly 2 types of games, the first, which is a proper game of football where 11 players play against other 11 players in a pitch.

 

 Soccer is known throughout the world and is considered an international sport which majority of the people would enjoy playing or even watching. This helps people connect with their common ground and discuss their.Personally for me, i support the team Arsenal and i may do a few references to their style of play! 

Some of us would be able to relate to football as anyone who is passionate for would be,football is not only just a sport, but for others is a lifestyle the develop during their teenage or youth days and may even stretch into their adulthood.Football may also be a distraction to all those virtual gaming etc, as in would serve you as a healthy lifestyle or even a a hobby. If you really think by not doing anything you'll be able to achieve something then you're wrong, you should not give up on your targeted goals even if its in different areas of your live and isn't about a sport, it may be academic or even socially."Results comes along with determination". 

Here is Arsenal who came back from losing and won the game in a epic goal fest of 12 goals, which ended up in 7-5.This proves that's all this are possible if you would believe and put all your effort physically and mentally and in this case, Arsenal setting their goals in winning.  

"Its not how you start,but how you end" 

So hey! i encourage you to go out and pick up a sport that would keep you healthy and maybe eventually finding a sport that you may like and even appreciate! Stay tuned and come back soon if you would like to know how soccer is played with the different styles and methods.Also, please check other blog post posted for more motivation in achieving your desired healthy lifestyle.
