4 Short 1 Long: Why 4 Short 1 Long?
http://4short1long.blogspot.com/2014/09/why-4-short-1-long.html
Tuesday, September 23, 2014. Why 4 Short 1 Long? The name 4 Short 1 Long actually refers to an advice given to me when i attended training recently. The coach explained that after every 4 short passes, you should look to do a long pass to spread the play, especially since the opponents have already started to crowd around attempting to regain possession during the 4 short passes, thus giving other players more space and time on the ball. I like this advice. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). We were doi...

4 Short 1 Long: April 2015
http://4short1long.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, April 19, 2015. 2 things anyone can do to improve their team. There are little things we as players can do to help the team, regardless of our relative skill level or experience. All we need, is a little effort, and sometimes, just saying something encouraging. Coach shared with us a nugget of advice the other day, after witnessing a shambolic 2-sided game displayed in training. . Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Add your email and subscribe.

4 Short 1 Long: December 2014
http://4short1long.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Thursday, December 4, 2014. After almost a month of feasting, celebrating and basically gorging myself, I'm finally back at the gym. The tipping point came when I put on my tee shirt and it suddenly felt like one of those compression tops. It's really not easy maintaining fitness. A disciplined regime has to be strictly adhered to and at the same time, food intake must be watched carefully. After all, you are what you eat. So if you eat crap. Anyone else suffering from pre-holiday fattyness? Had another ...

4 Short 1 Long: He who Controls the PACE Controls the GAME
http://4short1long.blogspot.com/2015/07/he-who-controls-pace-controls-game.html
Sunday, July 26, 2015. He who Controls the PACE Controls the GAME. Even at the gym, i wear my team tee proudly! Had another ho hum session at the gym today. Mostly upper body since I almost died last week from the intensive lower body workout. But this post isn’t about what ho hum things I did at the gym. It is about what I learnt from Coach Ivan at last week’s training. Yes. Coach Ivan returns! Mental nourishment, I call it. As usual, he started off with an abstract analogy. Yes its true 30% of all goal...

4 Short 1 Long: Not everyone is Jon Bonjovi!
http://4short1long.blogspot.com/2015/06/not-everyone-is-jon-bonjovi.html
Wednesday, June 24, 2015. Not everyone is Jon Bonjovi! Three weeks out due to work, family etc and finally I'm back on the training ground. It feels good to lace up the boots and head to the field where everyone is already all geared up. As usual, I arrived late coz the 3 little tykes, all decked out in full Arsenal regalia, were busy playing amongst themselves enroute to the car, blissfully unaware that daddy is late for training. I belong here. On the turf. In my boots. 🔥 Coach Ivan was fuming. He was...

4 Short 1 Long: Eating beats Exercising anytime!
http://4short1long.blogspot.com/2015/07/eating-beats-exercising-anytime.html
Monday, July 20, 2015. Eating beats Exercising anytime! Its Monday again. Gym day! For some reason I'm not as lethargic as i usually am on a Monday. Maybe its the magazine assignment I'm doing. It's my first magazine article and it is a personal profile of an up and rising star. So I'm probable running on adrenaline. Or maybe it is because my colleague was helping me to buy Subway for lunch as i slog away in the gym over lunchtime. Heavier loads = Explosive lifts = Controlled release = Less reps. So I kn...

4 Short 1 Long: I hate gyms
http://4short1long.blogspot.com/2015/07/i-hate-gyms.html
Sunday, July 12, 2015. I'm not a gym rat. I have never felt the compulsion to bring myself to a gym. The gym is so. Impersonal. It's a lonely activity. Just Me. And the cold metal weights. Occasionally, in the midst of my tedious and monotonous workout, I'll get the welcomed (not! Whiff of someone's Eau de BodyOdour that jolts me out of my daze. Had a nice workout in my Reeboks, who are now sitting prettily under my desk. The things we do for The Love Of The Game. For the love of the game. Word has been ...

4 Short 1 Long: All for the Love of the Game!
http://4short1long.blogspot.com/2014/12/all-for-love-of-game.html
Sunday, July 12, 2015. All for the Love of the Game! Why do we do the things we do? Why do we, after a Saturday of high fever, incessant coughing and scratchy throats, insist that we are fit enough for a Sunday football game? Why do some of us, after a game of football, spend precious time to bring the team jerseys to the laundry whilst everyone else goes home for a well deserved rest? Why do we allow our Sunday game performance to dictate our mood for the rest of the week? For the love of the game.
