old match

Aight so today imma be talking about my final that I had with this guy. My thought were that I  wasn't even supposed to make it to the finals and I definitely wasn't expecting me to do so good in this. This was again this really heavy topspinner guy. I played him in doubles 3 times and I lost all 3 in a close match or a 3 set. The last time I played this guy was a year ago and that was also a 3 set. I managed to win that match 4-6 6-4 6-2. Now at this point I did train a little so I wasn't that bad but I switched to a new raquet and that changed all for me. It took me a while.to get used to it tho. The last raquet I used gave me too much power so I switched to one that gives me more control. In the first set it would say it was probably my best tennis I ever played. There were so many points that were just amazing. It was very high quality tennis. Even tho I made the better shots he took the set because of his serve and forehand. He's  a lefty that puts alot of spin so when he serves to the add side the ball slides to the left and that's really hard to cope with sometimes. He took the first set 6-3. Then the next set was almost the exact same but he broke me at 5 all so he was serving for the championship. He had a total of 2 match points on the add side. The first one he came in for a volley and missed it out and for the second on he missed his forehand. I SHOULD HAVE LOST HE WAS THE BETTER PLAYER but then the momentum shifted when I broke him and I carried that momentum in the tiebreaker. I took a lead of 4-0 and managed to take the set 7-6(3). At the last set it decided to conserve my energy and play safer. It worked well and when I came to me running back.to go to a lot I hit so many of them and got almost all of them in. Then I finally finished the match an diners so happy because I literally came back from losing and it was just a wonderful match.  There's been a
couple of these kind of matched but I'll save that for another day

Midterm

Firstly I'd like to apologize that this is so late. I posted it before but my phone became buggy and never published it. So this is basically the second time I have to do this

I I have always brought my gym strip to class except for once and on that day we went even supposed to have gym. I have had a fake smile in gym class almost every day because I don't want to make people have a negative vibe so I cover it up and pretend like I'm happy so that others can have a good vibe when they are beside me or see me do something. I have participated on the fitness days the best just because I feel like I need to show people how to do something. I have given it all I could on these days because I need to show and lead by example and also help people when I see that they are struggling. I have always gave it my all in activities. I have recently been struggling with gym because of my legs and my arm so the last time I did the pond run my legs were killing me but I managed to pish through all the pain and keep going even tho it was a really bad idea.

I help people who are struggling to do something in gym. If people don't set up which rarely happens I contribute and help and if there is no leader that wants to lead I'm not afraid yo go and lead. I always bring a positive attitude to the class. I always help students who need help and with the other star students I manage to push them to reach their limits.

I have always been so active on fitness days. This year I broke my beep test record and made a awesome time on my plank of 5 mins. I have been able to push myself and go higher than I thought I could. Tbh I really over do it in gym class and now it has become so bad for me I need to slow down or I won't be able to do much in gym class because my body will hurt over the limit and I won't be able to do anything in gym. I engoy fitness activities where I am solo such as the community run and the beep test. I feel like I can really push myself to go as fat as I can. I don't enjoy loco motion because when I do a activity I see so many people not do anything and that gives me a bad vibe. My fitness goals for the rest of the year are to reach a 13.8 on the beep test, hole a 8 minute plank and get a level 3 on sit and reach,last but not least is to get a 17 minute community run.

Leadership to me means someone who isn't afraid to help out take charge and try thirty hardest to get a positive vibe to others. There isn't a "best" leader in our class. Erlynn leads by setting up the game. Janelle Shiraz avani grace and Ruth lead by setting up and keep on going even after they are worn out. Then there's people who lead by example such as fiesal. BUT there is one thing that is weird about this class. WE have some grade 10 students and all the grade 10's should know how to lead and i'm not saying that they need to lead the whole lass all i'm saying is that they should do something that is outside of their friends zone. Each person leads in their own way and this class don't have a set leader.

I would truly just like my body to recover so that I can get back to giving it my 100% in tennis. I would also love to be more flexible. I am most proud of being the last man on the beep test because I was about to quit but I kept going and made neufeld proud!

Finally I think that I deserve an A at a 94%. The only thing that lacks for me rn is my blog and I'm gonna start to improve that. I have never gave a bad vibe to people by my level of participation. I eat well and do train my body outside of gym time.

Hopefully the next semester I can achieve all these goals and ty neufeld and goofs for a decent semester 1. Can't wait to see ya goofs again.

Triple threat

Today we did this thing where you need to be in a group of 3. In my group there was zauq, Kyle and I.its called triple threat.
The weird thing is that all 3 of us have a injury of some sort so you would think that we couldn't do much but in reality all of us did so well.I didn't give up and took maybe five ten  second breaks. The hardest part for me was probably lifting weights. I'm not supposed to lift any weights because of my elbow. I did do them and luckily my elbow did not hurt that Much. I feel like I could have done better when I was on the mat. My balance also needs improvement. Overall all 3 of us tried really hard and were sweating a lot after!

Beep test

So a while ago we did the beep test. The girls were up first so we had to do something's to show other things. I did 25 pushups and holder the plank for 5 mins which is insane. At that point when I finished the plank the girls were done. I set myself to get a 12 cuz before 12.6 was my all time highest. Then when I got to 12 I was like yeah I'm done but then I saw other people still going. Then I thought NAHHH SAAN imma keep on pushing. After 12.5 all the rest were done and I kept on going for 5 beeps after that. So I got to12.10 which is my new record... pretty good for the first beep test I did in this year.

School weight room

So I chose to improve my flexibility and get stronger legs. I chose to work on more of flexibility more. I chose to follow this website
http://www.fitnessmagazine.com/workout/yoga/poses/stretching-tight-muscles/ and I will se how I do! After doing all these stretches it really made me feel a burn. Overall I think that if I keep on doing these at least 3 times a week I can become a little more flexible.

Modified Beep Test

So we did the modified beep test but before that we had to do some exercises. Me and a bunch of my pals did it very fast and then we just waited and stretched until the girls were done. Then when it was our turn. I was being kinda over confident in my stamina and wanted to go full on and still try and finsh all the 20 or so beeps. I did them all but I should have stopped at 10 but I stopped at like 11 and that wasted alot of energy. But overall it was good. I could have paced myself a lot better.

Ultimate In The Snow

 We played ultimate in the snow. It was fun but I made one HUGE mistake. I accidentally tackled Shiraz and made it so that he could not play for a while. OMG I felt so bad doing that but we were cool after because I didn't mean to. I found that playing in the snow made it a whole lot tougher cuz people either dont move much or they move a whole lot more. Yeah nothing else is coming in my mind 'bout that day so i'll just end this here but it keeps on getting more weird
