Period 3 Blog #7 Team Handball Questions

Team Handball, like hockey, is an invasion game, so the tactics we used to create space and attack the goal in hockey will carryover into team handball.  We this week we are going to add one new offensive tactic to help us attack the goal and one new defensive tactic to defend our goal.

The offensive tactic will be the give and go and the defensive tactic will be person to person defense. For this weeks blog, please answer the questions below about these two tactics.

Give and Go
1. How does a give and go work to get you open when attacking the goal?

2. What did you do to keep the defender from getting between you and the ball?

3. What does the passer need to do to help make the play a success?

Person To person Defense
1. What is the first thing you want to do in person to person defense?

2. If your player has the ball where should you be positioned at all times?

3. If your player does not have the ball what two things should you be able to see at all times?

Lifting weights is an important step in gaining muscle mass.  Without some sort of progressive overload you will not get stronger, but there are two other components to see the most from you hard work in the weight room that must be addressed if you are to see reach your full potential.  They are sleep/recovery and your nutrition.  We will take a look at sleep and recovery in future posts but this week we are going to start to take a look at nutrition.  Before we go into too much detail lets first look at what we are currently eating.  Take a minute to think back to yesterday.  For this weeks blog, I want you to list for me everything you ate and drank yesterday.  This will give a quick look into your nutritional habits.  You can break it down to breakfast, lunch, and dinner, however many of us skip one or more of those meals each day so you can list it in whatever way makes sense to you.
