Survival Camp Day 3

Today we are halfway through the camp, and we get up as usual around 7 am. Having already identified our bad habits yesterday, the exercises have also become more specific.

After the breakfast we started the theorical part of the day which began with the presentation of my group about post play. It was a great discussion around the rules and clips. Then we went on working on videos which were tricky as usual.

We finished the lesson with a special guest, unfortunately he couldn’t be present in person, however with today’s excellent technical solutions we could watch his lecture online. It is always great to hear from a person who is in charge of the education at the top level in the USA.

Before the lunch we practiced our speed. It’s the funny part of our physical training here, it is like playing games – a great way to improve our speed and reactivity.

This afternoon is time for us to apply live in the games as much as possible what we have learned earlier in the day (fastbreak, communication, post play, 3 seconds etc.). All of us are really satisfied about our progression; we improve more than expected for the second day we officiate here.

At 9 pm, before watching all our games and making clips we take a rest. One hour of chilling and enjoying the sauna. We all look forward to seeing the next improvements.

Survival Camp Day 2

Everybody knows one day has 24 hours. At Survival Camp we must be every hour in a different time zone with different measuring. For example the breakfast is not the first thing to start the day with. It is the 5th one. Right after a warm-up, 3PO drills, beep test and a shower.

Each day one group presents an interesting topic to discuss. Like Flop & Fake for instance. And it is quite easy to imagine such a discussion doesn’t last 5 minutes. Yet there is still some time left when we go out for another 3PO lecture and a speed practise. Indeed, the speed means the fast running, agility and other useful IQ tasks here. Luckily, there is no need to be super mentally neither physically fresh to enjoy the lunch.

Even the time for having a rest we found somewhere (not really sure where) to be ready for the following schedule filled up with fitness sessions and officiating so that we could finally use all the things we learnt so far. Especially on the court.

Impossible to believe how many lessons, important remarks and interesting ideas one can listen to just during Tuesday. And Wednesday is on its way here soon.

DAY 1 : CAMP START

After last night in Ustka we enjoyed morning jogging to the beach. Before noon the first task was done: we all met in correct Jezierzyce. Great team of 11 campers started working really hard as soon as we were accommodated. First was fitness with invisible line between warm-up and workout. So much we were engaged! The physical preparation later on consisted of speed practice and referee movements on the court. At the end of the day some video analysis helped us to understand the right criteria for the camp officiating.
so we are getting ready to referee. Time management is not our strong part, however, this group can deal with everything, so it won’t be a problem for the rest of the camp.
A short refreshing walk around with beautiful sunset silently closed the official part of the Day 1 here.
Lets check  the program for the Day 2!
