My Passion Project
Makeup Blog4/27/2017 Whats up guys, comin in with a hot blog. I have been working on my TED talk, like getting pictures, and gathering information for it. I am afraid that i will not have enough content to make the 8-10 minute marks. Now back to my project. My soccer skills have been improving. I am now able to shoot farther, dribble longer, run faster, and more. I feel like this passion project helped me in the long run because it helped me strengthen my skills for the next 2 years of soccer. When I exercise i like to drink water. Water is very healthy, and it helps hydrate your body. Also, fruits and vegetables help replenish your strength. Sports drinks are not very good because they are full of sugar and other things that are bad for you. Overall, this passion project has been very beneficial. I have discovered some new foods that I like, and workouts that are easy enough for me. I hope everyone else has reached their goal.

Blog 154/26/2017 Whats up my peeps, its nearing the end of the passion project. Time flies when you're having fun!! this passion project has been a blast. I went to the gym this saturday. I ran on the treadmill and lifted weights. I did some of the routines I did last time I went to the gym. This helped strengthen my legs and arms. Also, i went to my park and set up cones and practiced shooting and dribbling. To finish that all off, I made a healthy smoothie. It was very delicious and tasty. This passion project was very fun and exciting. It helped me strengthen my skills and prepare me for next season. I will be continuing my work during the summer and throughout my years at Seton.
1 c. frozen cherries 1 kiwi, peeled and chopped (reserve 2 slices for garnish) 1 c. almond milk 1 tbsp. chia seeds Blog 144/19/2017 Hello everyone back again with another blog. It is blog 14. This week has been our Easter break. I went to mass on Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and Easter Sunday. It has been a lazy week. I was able to go to the gym. I went on monday and then to the park on tuesday. I brought the cones and set up a goal and practiced shooting. Then i lined the cones up and practiced dribbling through them. Then i set up random cones around the park and went far from them and tried passing to them. I learned that this helps with passing, power and accuracy. Overall this break has been pretty uneventful. I have also been spending time with my family. My Aunt came from california and my cousin came from Yuma. They both have babies and I had lots of fun playing and hanging out with them. Thanks for reading
Blog 134/12/2017 Hey whats up guys its Louis here back with another blog. It's week 13, and its nearing the end of my passion project. This next week is Holy week and we get out early on thursday. We do not really get much of a break but I will be utilizing it for working on my skills. This Easter break I will be going to the park and using the cones I have to make goals and practice shooting. I also plan on going to the gym at least 3 times during the break. This will give me time to work out and catch up on what I missed these past couple of weeks. Along with working out I will be working on eating more fruits and vegetables and less junk food. This is very important to do because it keeps your body in shape and healthy. Overall I think this break will be very productive and fun.
Blog 124/5/2017 Whats up everyone, its Louis here back for another 20 time blog. This past saturday I went to the gym and worked out. I just did a basic leg strengthening routine.
1) Barbell Front Squat: 6 x 6 reps. Rest two to three minutes between rounds. 2) Barbell Romanian Deadlift: 5 x 10 reps. Rest two minutes between rounds. 3) Walking Lunges With Double Dip: 4 x 20 strides. Rest two minutes between rounds. If you're a lunge novice, perform a single dip. 4) Two-Minute Leg Press Drill: three rounds. Match your body weight (counting the leg press cradle's weight), and perform continuous repetitions with good form for two minutes. You're not allowed to rack the weight until the time elapses, but you can rest-pause with straight legs while you catch your breath. Rest as long as needed between rounds, and aim to keep your number of total reps constant for each of the three sets. Blog 113/29/2017 Hey whats up guys, Louis here and back again with another blog. This weekend has not been successful, as I was busy all weekend. I did not have a chance to work out or practice soccer. I have been running around my neighborhood though. My neighborhood is somewhat shaped like a track so I can count how many laps I ran. I have ran 3 laps on monday and 1 yesterday. My allergies have been acting up, so that makes it harder to breathe and run. I have started to stop drinking sugary drinks and drink more water. Also I am not eating as much junk food, and more fruits and vegetables. I am getting a new soccer ball, because my old one got popped. I will be starting to go to the park in my neighborhood and practicing soccer more. I also have cones at my house that I can set up to dribble or shoot through them. This is a picture of my neighborhood, Blog 103/22/2017 Hey whats up guys, its Louis here back with another blog. This week has been unproductive, because I have been really lazy and tired. I have not worked out this week, but I am working on my eating habits. I have been eating less fast food and carbs, and more fruits and vegetables. I also have been drinking less sugary drinks, like soda or gatorade. I have replaced these with water. This will help my goal because it helps my body be nice and healthy so I can work my muscles out more. I plan on going to the gym this weekend, and working out. I will also be working on my speed by running around my neighborhood. I still am not sure of who my mentor would be, I am thinking about my soccer coach. I found this workout that I will do this weekend.
Start with your upper body straight, shoulders back and chin upwards. Step forward with your hands on your hips into lunge with right or left leg. Make sure your front knee stays over your laces and back knee doesn't touch ground. Then return to the start position. 2. Step laterally to the side, keeping your chest up and eyes forward. Then return to starting position. 3. Step backward into a reverse lunge, keep straight posture posture, and return to starting position. 4. After doing all 3 steps with one leg, repeat the same steps with the opposite leg. These are my new soccer cleats i used this season Blog 93/19/2017 This week has been the most productive because I have been on break. On tuesday i went to the gym, and worked out. I did some of the basic workouts. Bench press, curls, incline press, squats, lat pulls and some core exercises. I also did some dumbbell arm swings that help strengthen parts of your arm. Here is how you do them
here is a picture of the dumbbells i used yesterday to work out. I did not go to the gym this saturday as I was busy. I worked out at home instead Blog 83/8/2017 Whats up guys, its Louis here back again with another blog. Today in 20 time, I have been researching more drills to do. I have been working on them, and they are really helping me get better in soccer. I have been mostly doing them on weekends, because I am busy on the weekdays. Here is a drill that I found easy and fun.
Dip the shoulder to one side and go in the opposite direction. Step into the direction you are faking with your shoulder and take off with the ball in the other direction, almost with a spinning motion. It's a shoulder fake to the right, then you dribble off or turn with the ball to the left . Do the reverse to go the other way: Fake to the left (lean) and dribble off by turning to the right. If you're back is to the defender, you can also fake with your shoulder. Before turning, when you have a defender on your back, throw in a feint as if you are going to go in one direction, when you really intend to go the other way. Feint to the side by dipping your shoulder. As a midfielder, however, you might want to have your body half turned already, and open to the field. This turn coupled with the fake with your shoulder is useful if you are marked tightly and coming back to the ball with a defender right on top of you and need to spin away. Perhaps better for a forward or winger coming back to the ball. Blog 73/1/2017 Hey whats up guys its Louis here, back with another blog. This week has not been very successful, because I have a head cold. I have been researching more things to do, and I found another drill to help me strengthen my soccer skills. Also it has been pretty cold, and raining outside. Hopefully I will be better in a couple of days so I can continue my project.
Play a 5v5 and give teams a couple of minutes to sort out their formation and tactics. Players can only go into the opposition half by dribbling over the halfway line. To score they can shoot into either of the target goals for one point but if they dribble between the posts they get three points. If they score they keep the ball and attack the opposite end. If they miss the ball is turned over to the opposition. Play starts each time from between the posts attacking the opposite end. AuthorWrite something about yourself.
