We will start our first month long program this week. This program is one of linear progression meaning we are going to go up in weight each week for four weeks. One of the most important things we can do is pick the right starting weight for each of the "big" lifts we will be doing. This weight is a weight that you can do 5 sets of 5 reps with without any problem. For this weeks blog, let me know what your starting weights will be for each of the following lifts.

Period 4 Football

\Ok so apparently we do not know much about the defensive side of football.  That's OK we will have some time during the rain to talk about it this week.  For this weeks blog, we are going to focus on the offensive side of the ball.  The advantage the offense has is that they know where the play is going.  You give this advantage away when you do not run a play. Think about how your team runs plays.  Do you run the plays you practice or do you all just go out and hope someone gets open?  What works better?  How can you make your offense run better?

Period 4 Blog # 4 Defense Prior Knowledge

Using what you already know (don't Google) please define the following defensive terms or give me the positions responsibility:

Linebacker

Defensive Back

Defensive End

Cover 1 Defense

Cover 2 Defense

Cover 3 Defense

Quarters

Period 2 Weight Training Blog #4 Problem Areas

Believe it or not this is our fourth week of school.  We have introduced several lifts and spent a lot of time working on form. It is essential that we get our form right before we move up in weight. In order to get our form right we need to know what we are doing wrong, so that we can fix it.


For this weeks blog I want to know what lift or movement has given you the most trouble and what in particular about that lift or movement is the problem. Finally what are you doing to work on fixing the problem.

For example, It has recently come to my attention that I have issues with ankle mobility and specifically tightness in my calves.  I have had these issues all my life, but with my recent increase in trail running, it has become more of a problem.  I have started a daily, ankle mobility, stretching routine and hope that it will help not only my tightness in my calves but also my bottom position of my squat.  I will keep you posted.

Let me know what you need to work on and what you plan to do to work on it.

Period 4 General PE Blog 3 Football

Alright boys and girls, we have had a change in plans and will be starting football this week as opposed to tennis.  If you have done the tennis blog great!  You will not have to do it when it comes back up, but you still have to complete this weeks football blog.

We are starting football and as I told you Monday football is a complicated sport because there are so many different positions and each position has a different responsibility, and requires a different skill set. The object of the game is to get the ball down the field to score. Assigning the right position to each player will make this job easier.  Take a moment to read over the positions and the skills that each position should have and assign the members of your team to each position.  Strategy comes into play here also.  You may have a person who is fast and good at catching, but is also your best quarterback.  You will have to decide where to put them.  These positions are not permanent and can be switched at any time.
Quarterback - Good under pressure, can make quick decisions, nice throwing arm.

Wide Reciever - Fast person with an ability to catch.

Tight End- Good at catching short passes doesn't need to be superfast.

Center - Must be willing to touch the ball on every play. Doesn't need to be superfast but has good hands.

Runningback - Is agile. Has ability to cut back and forth and make people miss the tackle through dodging and finding the open lane.



Please assign positions for every person on your team and yourself.

Period 2 Weight Training Blog 3 What is a Metcon?

The term "metcon" was shortened from metabolic conditioning. Metabolic conditioning refers to conditioning exercises intended to increase the storage and delivery of energy for any activity. We will talk about the energy pathways the body uses in future posts, and how metcons train each. The short definition of a metcon is high intensity interval training. We will perform our first metcon this week. "1/2 Cindy" is a workout where we do as many rounds as possible in 10 minutes of the following exercises. 5-pull-ups, 10-push-ups, 15squats. For this weeks blog I want you to explore the blog or use google if you need to and list for me three energy pathways the body uses to convert food into fuel. This will be a 10 point summative assessment ans I will not post your responses until next Monday.
