Period 3 Weight Training Blog # 3

If I had a dollar for every time a student told me, I can't squat because I have bad knees, I could retire early.

"Not only is the squat not detrimental to the knees it is remarkably rehabilitive of cranky, damaged, or delicate knees. In fact, if you do not squat, your knees are not healthy regardless of how free of pain or discomfort you are." Crossfit Journal Dec. 2002

We spend a lot of time making sure our squat form is perfect, because it is the foundation of all good human movement. In your comments, let me know what cue or tip helps you perform the squat with perfect form. What do you focus on while you are squatting? If you do not think about anything list one of the 23 "How to Squat" cues I gave you.

Period 5 Blog # 3 Basketball

Team positions. A basketball team has five players that play five different postions.

1. A "1" is the point guard. This person is the best dribbler and passer. This person brings the ball down the court and has the best chance of maintaining possesion of the ball if pressure is put on.

2. A "2" is the shooting guard. This person has the best shot on the team. You want this person to shoot the ball for you the most.

3. A "3" is the small forward. This person is a pretty good at shooting and rebounding. They will cut through the lane and be a threat.

4. A "4" is the power forward. This person is a great rebounder and will spend most of the time with their back to the basket, or playing in the post. They will take close shots and look to rebound every ball.

5. A "5" is the center. This person is usually the tallest person on the team and specializes in shot blocking and rebounding. On offense, they are like the power forward and play close to the basket.

Your team does not have five players but I want you to look at your team and assign the players on your team a role or position as described base on your perception of their abilities so far. List each player on your team and what position they fit the best and why.
