CALVES OF HULK!!!

How player A got her shapely calves

1. Calf raises 3X17reps ( both legs)
2. Jump alot
3. Walk with toes touching the ground only... ( so the heel is lifted up) You do it to the extend you have problems with your Achilles heel

INTERESTING FACTS

HELLO TWENTY ONES!
( I sound very enthusiastic but am really not that hyper..)

My title says INTERESTING FACTS but the title itself sounds so cliche... -.- but dont be deceive by the title! The facts I found out are really quite interesting! really interesting. ok. alluring! amusing!captivating! ( no. its not about some pretty person)

HYDRATION MYTH
coach: GIRLS! remember to hydrate yourself! If you go to the toilet and see that your pee is yellow.. PLEASE! it means you are not hydrating enough!!!! DRINK MORE WATER!!! (sounds like zhen2)

Yes. Indeed we should always ensure that our bodies are fully hydrated so that we can perform to our maximum on court. However, whether we are hydrated or not depends not on the COLOUR of our urine but the clarity of it.

Hence it is possible that our urine is YELLOW!!!! but CLEAR! so... we are still considered hydrated. It is also possible to have pale but cloudy urine. In this case, we are not hydrated enough and so we will have to drink more fluid.

URGENT CALL
Ever wondered why we are always so urgent ( as in we need to go to the washroom) usually before and after game but not DURING GAME?
when we are playing, we producing this hormone called adrenaline. One of the functions of adrenaline is to direct blood from the kidneys to the muscles ( since we require more blood there as we are working REALLY HARD on court... ) So, the kidney does not perform its function as much since there is little blood supply there so there is less reabsorption of fluid by the urinary system. Hence less fluid is collected in the collecting duct.. so we dont have to pee during that period.

So now we know.. those that visit the toilet often during trainings are not working hard enough!!!! or perhaps.. they just have a small bladder...
oh.. or maybe they went to the RESTroom to rest.
