My Passion Project
Blog 52/15/2017 Hey whats up guys, For my passion project, I will be improving my speed and strength. By doing that I will be working out every day in the morning, and going to the gym on weekends. I am doing this because I want to increase my speed and strength for soccer. I have been playing soccer for 2 years now, and I will continue playing all 4 years. Soccer is very fun to me, and I would like to improve my speed so I can do better. I took a weights class last semester with Coach Galante, and I enjoyed taking it. I will do some of his workouts, and go into the weight room with him and work out. Overall, I am excited to improve my speed and strength. This will help me in the later years because I will be fit and able to play sports. I am very excited to take on this challenge. For today's twenty time I will be working on my elevator pitch. For my elevator pitch I will be discussing about what I plan to do for my workouts, which is going to be researching different workouts for strengthening parts of my body to help me in soccer. I will explain these things and then talk about how they will help me. I have not yet decided who my mentor will be, but I have a few ideas on who it will be. As soon as I decide who my mentor will be, I will be contacting them and asking them about a few things. I am very excited to start my journey with this, and I can't wait to keep you guys updated. This is going to be an exciting and fun journey, and I can't wait to take you guys with me! This is a photo from me playing soccer last year.
Hey guys, its me again. I have not been able to do anything this weekend, as I was sick. I have been researching workouts though, and I have found one I would like to do. This workout helps strengthen my legs. Single-Leg Hurdle Hops: Do single leg linear and lateral hops at least one time per week. Can be split with linear hops one day, lateral hops on another day. What you’ll need: Four 6" hurdles, or your imagination: “Just imagine there's a hurdle there and perform the hops," Caffrey says. What to do: Linear Hops - Start by standing on one leg. Hop forward over a hurdle, making sure to extend your hip. Land softly, with your hip down and back, making sure your knee is stabilized over your ankle when you land. The hops will not be continuous—stick the landing and stabilize yourself before making the next hop. Lateral Hops - Start with feet together, knees and hips slightly bent. Hop sideways over the hurdle, land softly and stabilize. While doing this drill, hop over the hurdles in both directions. You will work a different set of muscles hopping in one direction than you will when you hop back laterally to where you started from. Workout: Linear: 2 sets x 4 hops for each leg - Rest 30 seconds between sets Lateral: 2 sets x 4 reps - Rest 30 seconds between sets
