Yesterday I attended a training feeling very tired after a short night and a tough day at school. Didn’t really feel like working out, but managed to do atleast some basic exercises with getting somewhat tired. Not really happy of the effort I put in, but everyone has those days when you feel like not having any energy left and just going to sleep.

Unfortunately not enough players signed up for this season so there weren’t enough kids for 5 teams. My last team had the least amount of people staying, mainly due to the fact most of them being too old and ‘graduating’ to the higher aged league. On the other hand, my friend went to college this year letting me coach previously his Bisons. The draft wasn’t necessarily in my favour due to the number of players staying. I had a 12th round pick and 2 last picks so I really hope the core team will be good.

The holidays are coming to an end and my muscles are still constantly sore. The therapy using electrodes and eletric impulses to strenghten the muscles have been the most challenging in my opinion, especially pain-wise as it simply hurts as hell and is more of a psychological struggle. I definetly feel stronger after such intensive 2 months and I am proud I managed such an intensive schedule even though there were issues regarding lack of motivation and what not.

The summer break is going great regarding the trainings. Throughout the whole month of June I missed only 1 week whilst training 4/5 times a week during the rest. It is quite challenging and tiring especially the aspect of being able to keep going forward and not getting lazy and fed up. The progress isn’t maybe quite as visible due to the intensity and quantity of the trainings and my muscles being constantly sore however, I do feel good about the direction this is going and I am positive the effects will come with time.

Yesterday I went to my last training before the summer break. There is obvious progress with me feeling better and better with my knee however, I hope during the holidays progress will be made atleast a bit faster. Honestly looking forward to working harder and more frequently at the gym during the vacation, hope the results will show.

This was the last game of our season as we didn’t qualify for the final four sadly. However, I am glad we closed out the season with a good game, especially after last loss by nearly -40. The team played well, everyone fought hard and gave it their best on the court. Unfortunately we didn’tp ull off a win after chasing points throughout the whole game, with a 3-pointer from the Cobras sealing the deal in the last minute. This season was pretty rough as a whole though I did enjoy the challenge and I’m looking forward to some fresh faces in September.

I really don’t know what to think of this week. This has to be my far loss yet by far. Maybe the players didn’t go to sleep on the firday night beforehand, but then again they are all 9 - 11 years old so I hope that’s not the case. We lost a staggering 37-73. I don’t think I made such huge mistakes as the score would suggest, so maybe just very unlucky. Especially that the Kangaroos would’ve won with the points of just their top scoring player.

Unfortunately I missed a couple trainings during the mock session in order to gain some extra time for studying however, the mocks are over and I can focus on my health. The return to working out after even a relatively small break was quite harsh as I wasn’t feeling it as much as before. On the other hand, I’m glad I have the time to train again and I’m looking forward to make more progress regarding my leg’s strength and stability.

Well what a turn of events. I think I was a little bit too optimistic 2 weeks ago, as the following weeks we lost two games. Last week against the Crabs by 20 points and yesterday against the Piranhias by 3. Yesterdays game was a shame, and I think I need to stop being so nice to everyone and introduce some discipline. Maybe that will help them concetrate and not throw away potentially easy games, such as the one against the Piranhias.

So far so good. The therapy is going as planned and everything is in the norm. I still have pain in my knee, however I can slowly start riding a bike in a controled enviroment. It’s going to be rough time for the next couple of months, but I’m certainly going to keep pushing the boundries and hopefully by the end of the summer I’m going to be in full form.

After a month and a half brake from coaching I am back with a great start. We won 54:51 and I’m very glad our losing streak has come an end. The team is looking strong with getting some great players from the draft. I’m looking forward to the next weeks andin my eyes we can make to the finals if we keep up this pace.

I am now about a month after an operation I had to undergo due to something that went wrong during the last one I had on my ACL. I had another reconstruction, but this time a different ligament was addistional put in on the exterior side of my knee called the ALL. I am now attending to physiotherapy and doing very basic exercises which my knee is able to support at the current stage of healing.

CAS Project - Reflection
Doing the billiards cas project, allowed to take on a new challenge and learn something from scratch. Despite the simplicity of the sports itself, the proverbial 10,000 hours needed to master something are probably also applicable to this case. I can see that there is yet a long road ahead of me if I plan on playing the game effectively. But I am also happy with my results. Seeing as affter a month of experience, I was able to compete with people with experience amounting to a c ouple of years, made me feel good about the potential I have in the sport.

CAS Project - Billiards
The day of the tournament has finally come. Our opponents turned out to be very tough. It turned out that most of them already had years’ worth of experience. Despite this we were still able to put up a fight, even though ultimately we all lost in all of our matches. It was very interesting to finally play against someone who was way above my own skill level. This allowed me to observe better playstyles and strategies and also analyse my own mistakes.

CAS Project - Billiards
Initially, I have thought that cue sports are relatively simple, maybe due to the way in which it plays out in television highlights. Professionals make it look very easy and straightforward. However, as I have began to take a serious approach to the sport, I have realised how complex it really is. For instance, during casual play not much attention is given to the way in which the cue ball is hit. However, controlling the cue balls spin is considered one of the hardest , but at the same time one of the most fundamental skills in the sport. Hitting the cue ball in the right place with the right force could be considered a craft of its own. It allows to manipulate the cue ball and determine the exact place it will land after hitting the object ball. This skill is very difficult and unintutive. I will work on the way, I hit the cue ball and hope to improve my game.
