March Buddies

So for this past buddies class we had a lot of fun! Since it was right after spring break we got to catch up with our buddies a bit, since Pallvi was still on vacation it was just me! Our buddie had counted all of his technology and found out he has 42 different tech related items, he said he had a lot of fun playing Pokemon games over spring break and has over 100 of them! Next we got into the fun stuff, we learned how to do a two foot jump stop and my buddie was so good at it! It was like he was a professional, and I could tell he had a lot of fun with it too! We also played octopus  tag, my buddie and I tagged a lot of people, we make a good team. It had taken my buddie 3 classes but he finally noticed that I was tall! I had a lot of fun this past buddies class, so that's all for now
Like my buddie says adios crocodile!

Post Season/Pre Summer training

So basically ever since our school season ended, I have been exercising 6-7 days a week for our Spring/Summer Season with Athelite. Again my goal this year like last is to now make the U15 Elite team. So here is basically the rough gist of my workouts as of recently.
-Mondays and Tuesdays my dad is off work so we do a 3 hour training session, we go over to a local park and play basketball [shooting, ball handling, post moves, one on one] for a good 2 hours as well as do workout [bicep curls, squats,lunges, core] with this really cool band thing called the go fit. Then we play a good couple rounds of tennis for 30 minutes and then I take my dog for a 30 minute run. These days are my favorites because I get to spend time with my dad, I do my favorite things, and I have someone else to help me push myself.
-The rest of the days vary, I normally go weighted squats[20lbs or more], bicep curls [10lbs endurance- 20lbs strength buiding] lat pulls [50lbs 12 reps 3 sets] lots of core workouts as well as tricep, I like to go on youtube an try different workouts out each day. I also like to fit in 30 or more minutes of ball handling and shooting around.
-Diet, I continue to drink lots of water as well as I have improved my eating further [I will be doing the 1 week diet challenge after spring break] I absolutely love chicken, that is something I have eaten alot of as well as apples.
I am super excited about the summer season, I have seen my coaches around at games for the other players from my team!

BBW FTW!

So I haven't posted much about in school activities, and boy have we had fun. First thing I want to say is how amazing our class is, we have a diverse group of peers when it comes to physical standings and I love seeing the kids who normally don' excel in PE start to have fun and really enjoy it. Now another thing I have noticed is how extremely competitive we are, I mean all band kids are but we are extremely competitive! Dragon Tales is a super fun game, and I think it was most fun because everyone participated and it was a great learning experience for us to take a even further step into leadership like listening to each other and strategically thinking on the spot. This game has overall impacted our dynamic because there is some intense heat between us BBW and the other guys [Wildcats] Not only did we get intense during Dragon Tales but also the yoga mat memory game [My team the greens won!] but also when we got to do that boat race boy was that fun! I really enjoy PE with our class, we have so much fun together and cannot wait to play more games with them!
PS. To  the other band, you guys are going down when we verse you in Dragon Tales... :)

Buddies!

So for the past 2 weeks we finally got to meet our buddies!For those of you who don't know our class got an amazing opportunity to go to a local elementary school and teach kids about physical education and how to love it at an early age.  So going into buddies my friend Pallvi and I got paired together to work with a really awesome kid, now there are some things you should first know about our buddy
1. He has over 100 pokemon cards!And he loves each and everyone of them especially Rishram.
2.Hey has alot of technology too, over 60 devices!
3. He said his favorite fruit was either sunkist [I think he meant oranges] or Gummy Bears
4. He is a little bit different from the other kids, and although he has a very short attention span like all kids do, if you met him you would just think he was a very awesome and energetic imaginative little boy!
5. He really enjoys jumping and holding our hands :)

So going into this experience I had no clue what to expect, I know Neuf had mentioned he really didn't like PE but from what I can tell he really likes it! I had lots of fun showing our buddie pictures of little Jessica as I had went to his elementary school since I was in grade 1, so it brought back lots of memories of dodgeball [not as much fun as high school], running club, cross country teams and much more! I am really excited to continue helping our buddie with his listening skills as well as PE skills and cannot wait to see what we get to do with him next time we see him!
