had coaching training today... all the way at presbyterian high school.. i think i like that school... it looks nice den any school i've been too... but i dunno abt the ppl there... anyway.. i was late hahaa... step into the class halfway thru the lesson... they were into the theories of coaching... firstly... what is volleyball? is a sport some rich american came up with in the late 1800s... yah.. den it went to canada.. den to japan 1908.... den to china in 1910... yah stuff liddat... and it seems volleyball used to be played with 10 pple.. and the ball was actually the inner lining of a basketball... makes it sounds a bit 2nd class rite?? yah...

den it comes to being a coach... wat is a coach? why be a coach? well... a coach is a teacher... and it's not just about the skills... it's a about the mental development, the physical development and the teamwork... yah... suddenly it seems like a lot of work... gotta read up a lot on the game, the psychology, the biomechanics... that's pretty much the theory part...

practical seems abit like a training session... how to organise a training... how shld training develop... yah stuff liddat... but i think i was kindda left out.. cos i din know anyone there... perhaps there was an intro session that i missed... but... yah... there were 3 grps of ppl... teachers, saf regs, players... i din know any of the players... and they keep to their clique... it was kindda hard for me to to mix also... that the most sianzZ part... hope friday will be better...
