Week 11: Hmmm… I Give Up BBalling

Went to Bball in Hougang. It was a shock on two fronts: my first brush with a zone-turned-to-man defence (I usually play either-or, not this hybridised version) and my knee gave out.

It didn’t collapse. But it creaked, cracked and felt like I was dragging a dead leg around during the whole game.

That sucks.

Looking at it, my biggest problem is balance and explosive power. I think I’ll start a series of pylometric exercises during my running day, and conduct balancing exercises for the rest of the time.

My will be done…. in week 12.5 or 13.
