Chariots

 Okay we played chariots. It's a new game that John came up with. At first I was not at all happy to be playing this because I like fast paced games where ur responsible for yourself and no one elese. To warm up we did what we did with long ball so to mesure the strength of our team I made them pull me and Amrit and see our strength in face and turning. It was pretty fun warming up. After we had a contact version and we destroyed. Each player in our team had a pinny or even two. Our plan was leave the teamwork part alone and if you want to go somewhere just pull as hard as you can. We were definitely the most aggressive and used a lot of contact. So then the next round we had no contact. So we started communicating more but then we left Amrit and then there was four. This actually worked better because I took the ummm I guess chatriot. Then we communicated more and were a lot more agile. So We went perfect and got a lot of pinnys. Then on the last round where two of the "horses" are blindfolded we decided to keep Arjun as the one who can see because he can pull all of us so we had a chatrioteer 2 horses and then the main horse plan. In the need we worked so well together and kept a great winning mind while having fun.In our team we had miggy, harjot, amrit( first round )  one thing that really helped us at the last game is that I became the charioteer and Arjun became the horse that could see, because we know each other so well we knew what to do and there wasn't a huge need for instructions just because me and Arjun have a understanding of what we're capable of. the thing that we could have done better was have more teamwork in the start but after we were solid. The team work part was lacking on a lot of the teams like some of them wanted to be aggressive like us and other people in their team wanted to be defensive and that created easy prey to hunt down. I feel like using a rope is a good idea because it gives more space for movement and it feels like I'm on a chatriot( well more than being On a hula hoop and not being able to see behind u.One thing that was weird was that this was a lot more different than a average gym class but this was just as fun or even more fun! 

Gym

Yeah so rn it's spring break, I gained a lot of weight so yeah I wanted to see if I am still fit so I decided to go to the gym once again. I went in with the mind that I will not do much cardio and focus on arms and core. Then when I warmed up I was thinking of how fast I can go and keep a strong pace. I was surprised by the results. Even after not doing any gym or fitness or even tennis I managed to keep a pace of 7 for 38 mins which is crazy. For the first 2 mins I warmed up and at around 10 mins my legs were acting up and hurting but I pushed through it and
kept on doing it. I felt really bad after because I tried so hard. This is the first time I sweated in the gym as well. Then after I did some core machines and some  machines for the arms. Next time I'll go at 10 and see how long I can last. My goal is to regain my six pack which I lost a while back and to not have a big difference between my left arm and my right arm. After I was really tired and drank some protein so my muscles won't be weak and I stretched to not make my body as stiff. So overall this is the Fort time I've tried this hard and it'll definitely pay off in the long run

Here is the evidence 

Yeah here is me after running. As u can see my hair is more messy than usual.

In this picture u can see my veins popping out 

And in this picture. I upped the brightness so that've can see the west more clearly. Omg that's a lot  of sweat 

Pickle ball

    We played pickle ball in gym this one time. I was so hyped for it because I play tennis so that was my zone. I had Nick as my partner for doubles. I guess you could say I have a very unfair fair advantage if that even makes sense. We never lost. I'm not trying to be a cocky person rn but it would be super difficult to actually beat us two because I know how to play doubles so I would just poach, smash and hit a slice underhand serve. Idk it was fun but then I just started to goof off. I could hit a forehand because It's different in tennis and just ended up chopping. At the end I hit Nick accidently and smashed a ball at fiesals body. Yeah that all I can remember. I should have taken pictures because that's what my blogs are lacking .Bye bye

Buddies

So a while back( I say that a lot for the blogs ) we had buddies. I didn't have any questions to ask so when I found my buddy I just talked about stuff I overheard from others. That didn't work well so I just talked about music,  videos games even tho I barely game now and some other really weird topics.  I guess we had some things in common so it wasn't too awkward.  Then when we started time play the game I was super surprise about the energy level given by the kids.  They could get like a 14 on the beep test with that much energy! The game we played was super fun and even tho I didn't eat anything that day except some junk food. I felt good inside because I did something for someone just to feel good. I could have easily skipped and went to eat something but idk it just felt good because eventually they're gonna be like one day and will hopefully give back to the community because that's one-on-one the best feeling in the world! Cool OK bye

Dragontail

So a while back we played dragontail. It's like a mixture of tag and football. U gotta get the guy with the rubberband. It was pretty fun because the other team could be sneaky or give it to the fasted person. It's a pretty good game buy one thing I would say to improve it is that people can't hide their hands behinds their back. Even through I came up with this shady plan it takes away a lot more strategy. Like if that was implemented people would go in groups and hide behind each others backs. It was overall pretty fun. At the end of it we lost to the grade 9s it the second overtime. It was fair play. Then when erlynn was cleaning up I went there and was first thinking of locking some of our classmates. Erlynn was Iike stop so.I just held the gate for as long as I could. They got out in like 2.5 mins so yeah. That's it

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.
