Luain Scíth/ Recovery Monday

Ní dhearna mé ach cúpla poc éadrom neamhfhoirmealta in éadan an balla inniú. Ghlac mé é go ré agus bhain mé sult as. Ní dhern mé ach 20 nóimead. Chuaigh mé chuig ceolchoirm den scoth oíche anocht i Luimneach. Mike Mc Goldrick, Sharron Shannoin, Gerry O connor agus Cairde, scoth seó!

I only did a few causal pucks against the wall today for about 20 minutes. I went to a tremendous concert in Limerick tonight. Mike Mc Goldrick, Sharron Shannon, Gerry O Connor and friends, a class show!

In sa 3 seachtain atá tar éis dhul thart bhí an lód treanála s’agam idir 2500-3000 le tuairim is 9-12 seisiún gach seachtain. An tseachtain seo tá mé ag dul sos ceart a ghlacadh le LT faoi 1000 go dtí an Sathairn. Seo na rialacha a leanas mé le seo a bhaint amach:

· Gach seisiún faoi 30 nóimead (seachas an seisiún foirne ar an Déardaoin agus an cluiche Dé Domhnaigh)

· Scaoileamh amach ar maidín

· Dul a luí níos luaithe

· Bia agus deoch maith a ghlacadh an tseachtain uilig.

...........................................................................

The past 3 weeks my training load has been between 2500 and 3000 with between 9 and 12 sessions per week. This coming week I am going to keep my training load under 1000 until Saturday (Game on Sunday). I will follow these guidlines to help the recovery:

· Each session under 30 mins (except the team session on Thursday and Game on Sunday)

· Loosen out in the mornings

· Go to bed earlier

· Keep the nutrition good all week.

Cluiche an Domhnaigh/ Sundays Game

Chaill muid an cluiche le dhá cúilín. Ní raibh cluiche iontach agam agus baineadh mé leath bealaí tríd an dara leath. Mhothaigh mé nach raibh na cosa úr go leor leis an obair cheart a dhéanamh i lár na páirce. Mar sin féin seo na pointí deimhneach a thóg mé ón cluiche:

• Rinne mé go maith daoine a dhruidim síos nuair a bhí an seilbh acu. Chuir mé brú maith orthu agus cúpla uiar fuair muid seilbh mar gheall ar seo.
• Thug mé solathar maith do na tosaithe nuair a bhí seilbh agam.
• Bhí rás agam le imreoir eile chuig an sliotar. Cé gur thosaigh seisean ós mo chomhair, fuair mise an seilbh agus thus mé solathar maith don tosaigh.

Seo na rudaí ar ghá dom obair air:

• Bheith úr do na cluichí
• Iomaíocht sa aer don sliotar
• Brú chun tosaigh leis an sliotar le imirt a cruthú.

Cé go raibh drochspin orm tar éis an cluiche, mar a dúirt mé cheanna níl mé chun am a chuir amú ag meabhrú faoi na drochlaethanta. Glacfaidh mé na pointí thuas agus bogaidh mé ar aghaidh go deimhneach i dtreo an príomh aidhim. Pléfidh mé na héisiúintí thuas sa chéad ionráil eile.

................................................................................................................

We lost the game by 2 points. I diodnt have a great game and was taken off half way through the second half. I felt that my legs were not fresh enough to do the work of midfield. Even still, here are the main points I will take from the game:

I did well to put pressure on opponents when they had posession. We got a couple of turnovers from this.

When I had posession I gave good supply to the forwards.

I raced a player to the ball and even though he started in front of me i took over him and got posession.

Here is what I want to work on:

• Be fresh for games
• Cometing for the high ball
• Push forwar with the ball when in posession

Although I was in bad form after the game, as I said before, I wont waste time pondering the bad days. I will take the lessons and move on in a positive way twords my goals. Will address issues that arose here in next post.

Sathairn/ Saturday

20 nóimead pócáil sa halla. Mothú maith go leor.

20 minutes puck in the hall. Feeling ok

Réamh-amharc Ckuiche/ Match Preview

Seo aidhmeanna an cluiche inniú:

1. Tacaigh leis an líne leath chúil agus an líne leath thosaigh
2. Bí idir an fear sagam agus an sliotar
3. Ionsaí ar an sliotar ard
   
4. Fan idir an dá líne leath nuair is féidir le níos mó oibre a dheanamh i lár na páirce.
   

Here are my goals for todays game:

1. Support the half backs and half forwards
2. Be between my man and the ball
3. Attack the high ball
4. Stay between the two half lines so I can work harder at midfield and not tire out by running to the full lines
