well, um...

haha, actually it wasn't that bad.

started training session close to 7pm,
warmed up with 5 rounds around
half the bball court. haha.
broke into two teams of four,
played 2games of firsttoscore5points.
thankfully 教练 didn't implement
the loser run 10rounds thing.
or we'd DIE. (haha, exaggerating)

next up was ball passing practice.
based on our performance,
we were then given tips on
gettingourteammates'attention,
ballhandling, courtmanagement..

i found it challenging implementing
the stuff taught.
(hopefully i'll be able to utilise
the stuff taught in tomorrow's class' game.)

played manymore sets of scoring 5points
until we were really exhausted,
THEN
教练 threw us a bomb. >.<

"partner yourselves,
see the semicircle?
we're going to play
catching within the area."

Yearrgh!!
haha.

it was in the format of
i tag you, then i run
while you try to catch me.

aiyoh.
total killer.

well, we managed it somehow
whether attempting to look like
we're running.
or walking most of the way.
heh.

then came the peptalk.

教练 led us to discuss the game,
personal commitment levels
on the court.
(we used it as an opportunity
to kinda whine at his training)

but well,
the entire session was really
one where i feel we've drawn closer.
yups.

looking forward for the next one!
am SO gonna bring my camera.

capture memories~
