Period 2 Blog #6 What about the Refs?

What are the roles and responsibilites of the Ref Squad and how can they be graded fairly by the participating teams? Do you like the role of referee? Explain why or why not
It is very important to consider the situation after a game. Usually, a team feels there has been a bad call. The grading of the refs needs to be such that, even if a team is unhappy about a call they can still give the points fairly. Refs should not be penalized for making a tough call.

Period 7 Weight Training Blog #5 Motivation

I came across the following quote and it made me think of 7th period

Acquiring the spirit necessary to win, which includes a positive acceptance of pain is difficult in a society where comfort is more highly regarded than capacity, where genuine physical fitness is the norm for less than 15% of the population. A visit to any normal gym that is open to the public offers an idea of what modern society thinks it means to be fit; magazines are read while "running" or "biking," weights are lifted by isolated muscles, often in a seated position, intensity is distinctly lacking, and "aerobics" classes are nothing more than jumping jacks set to music. Modern fitness is defined by appearance rather than actual horsepower. A training environment contaminated by this attitude cannot produce superior fitness, physical or mental. Mark Twight

Overload is a principle in fitness that helps make us stronger!

The Overload Principle is putting increased stress or load on the body in order to stimulate a training adaptation (increase in strength or endurance). In order for this increase in strength or endurance to occur, we need to work.
