Basketball

Let us talk basketball because everybody knows basketball in the ph. We compete in the southeast asian region so that we qualify for the asia cup and should we win there, we qualify for either the world cup or the olympics. An hurculean task if you ask me. Now with the asia and the pacific merging, the path to the olympics just got harder with the australia and new zealand adding fuel to the fire. The road to the world cup remains still as of the moment - asia with two slots and a lone slot being fought by australia and new zealand in a best of three matchup. Don't get me wrong. We want fair and tough competition so in my honest opinion, we could tweak the zones so there will be competitive balance.


Say taiwan and hongkong swap with myanmar and laos, iran and jordan join south asia while turkey and israel add to the middle east. We have to decompress europe you know, have teams cross the atlantic. We must hear about greenland and iceland. Yeah we know that the blacks excel in this field but even spectators get the rush. How do we build a world caliber team? We start with fundamentals then weight training, practice and sparring. Have fierce rivals.

So i had this hell course with fitness first last week. I have to do dead lifts, jumping jacks, wood chops, boxing, cardio and stuff. I would say cross training is beneficial to athletes. Boxers will be more accurate if they have weapons. The idea is to strike the target with the sword. You get what i say? Now let go of the sword and strike with your hands.
