Training At Its Peak...

When you feel tired, that is your mind trying to trick you. Your body always has extra to give. Do not be fooled by your mind..
- Coach Jason Selva-

Last week, a glimmer of hope for Ztec Juggenauts sparkled. Throughout the trainings we've been having, something was missing, something really crucial and vital was just nowhere to be seen. What is that which I am speaking of? It is none other than the Fire Within. We've been playing, yes, training, yes. However my friends, that is not enough. That is never enough. We need that FIRE.

On the Sunday that just passed, we gathered at Dalat for training. It was an ordinary day,nothing special, nothing different. One thing stood apart from the rest of the trainings we've been having, something was clearly visible... On Sunday, the people of Ztec came "Prepared"... Ztec arrived early (most of them anyway), they were just talking, having a good time. As we were outside the gym gearing up, there was an excitement in the atmosphere, a spirit which made us just wanting to start, wanting to begin.. And begin we did.....

Coach Jason took the seniors and Coach Daniel took the Junior team. Most of us were wondering why the sudden switch. Then, we found out why. The cones were laid out, the scene is set... "CIRCUIT TIME"!!... 30 minutes of solid training, dribbling, sprinting and shooting. All basics but carried out in the toughest of forms. Our legs ached, our sides hurt but that did not matter at all. With the encouragement from all team members, we pushed on, even when we could barely lift our feet. The intensity and the level of enthusiasm on Sunday was like no other training we've had in a very long time. You could literally feel the rush and the drive in the players, hearing them cheer on those who thought they couldn't go on anymore. Upon hearing the chanting of their teammates, they pushed themselves, bringing their mental up and overcoming fatigue and even pain. THAT IS WHAT ZTEC IS ABOUT!!

Guys, you made us, the coaches, extremely proud of you.. And what's more, you made us proud to be donning the ZTEC Jersey.. The Jersey that makes others tremble. When we put on that Jersey, and run as a team, we make the very foundation shake. Why? Because we can!

WHO ARE WE??? WE ARE JUGGERNAUTS!!

Keep it up people.. Let's bring this attitude to every training from now on....
WHOOSH!!!
