HYDRATION TIPS:

I. Start your day by drinking a large glass of water. Your hydration levels are lowest when you wake up as you haven’t been drinking or eating for 8 hours. Re-hydrating yourself should be a key part of your breakfast routine.

II. Drink at least 2-4 litres of fluid per day. It’s the most important rule to follow. Carry your water bottle with you at all times, whether you’re training, travelling or out and about.

III. During games, drink between 300-800ml per hour. Stick to water and dedicated electrolyte sports drinks during exercise.

IV. At the same time, make sure you don’t drink too much at once before games or training – it can make you uncomfortable.

V. Monitor the colour of your urine after games and training to determine your hydration level. If it’s any darker than near-transparent yellow, you should be drinking more.

VI. After the game, treat yourself to a milk-based recovery drink or a fruit smoothie.

VII. Generally, fruit juice and similar drinks are too sugary. If you want to make your drink sweeter, go for squash.

VII. Keep the consumption of caffeine based drinks like coffee and tea as well as fizzy drinks as low as possible. They undermine your hydration levels.

You may not feel the effects of not drinking plenty straight away. Don’t let others notice it from your performance – stay hydrated at all times.

Subs Psychology
Being on the bench is never easy..

Subs Psychology
SUMMARY:'

I. Once you find out you won’t be starting, put it behind you. This isn’t the time to wonder why or sulk. Concentrate on what you need to do for the team. Remember you can be called on at any time. So you need to be ready to make a change as soon as you come on to the field.

II. On the pits, pay attention to discover weaknesses in the other team. Use this knowledge to your best advantage. Don’t get distracted by anything or anyone.

III. While warming up, you should keep yourself totally focused on you. Keep your mind completely clear. Pay no attention to what or who is around you. No distractions. You are aware of nothing except making a difference when you come on.

IV. It’s all about knowing you can and will make an impact. Self-belief is very important. Believing in your ability enables you to get into the right mind-frame quickly. Work on your self-belief and confidence regularly throughout the season to be prepared.

V. When you feel like you’re only playing a bit part, you have to realize that this is just as important as playing a 2-3 points. You can come on and take the winning point or make the game safe so the team wins.

VI. it’s always about standing out in a game. Being a sub can make you stand out. More importantly, however small the opportunity feels, you have the chance to prove you are worthy of a start in the next game.

There’s always something to play for in every game. Never waste an opportunity. Only by impressing your coach with the right attitude will you stand a chance of breaking into the starting 5.

The key is not the will to win. Everybody has that. It is the will to prepare to win that is important

DEALING WITH DISAPPOINTMENT

You’ve given your all but the outcome is not what you expected.

DEALING WITH DISAPPOINTMENT

I. After a disappointing experience, you either decide you’re not going to fight and give up or it gives you the determination to prove everyone wrong, pick yourself up to grab another opportunity and make it a success. Many established players have been released at a young age. They’ve gone on to have outstanding careers. Self-belief is anyone’s key to success.

II. Instinctively, a player never gives up. His game always drives him. Disappointment can take a few days to sink in so it’s good to have some time out to adjust to the situation. You have to remind yourself that you’re at the level you’re at because you have talent and work hard. Another opportunity will come along.

III. The player should always be given space after a disappointing event. They need to get their head around the situation without others interfering. People around him can always look for solutions without the player being aware at the start, so that after a few days everyone can sit down to discuss next steps.

IV. You cannot wind back the clock. Look back at what you may have been able to do better. Look back at what you did well and move on. After that, never look back. Success is all about right now.

V. Any experience makes you stronger, good or bad. Learn from the disappointment. Being released should bring out your determination to not give up before you’ve shown your ability at your ultimate best. Major opportunities are amazing experiences. If you miss out on one, it should make you want to challenge for the next one even more.

What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. Dealing with disappointment can be hard but you can take the best out of a bad experience and move on.

Looking to change your training routine, upgrade your skills or improve your game preparation?. Put your questions straight here. I will help you with Technical, Tactical, Physical and Mental drills to improve your game.

Warm-up
Fail to prepare, prepare to fail. Warm-up is the most crucial part of getting ready to put on a strong performance.

SUMMARY:
I. A warm-up should start slowly and progressively get more intense to a point where you are physically, mentally and technically ready to play a match. It should be approximately 20-30 minutes long and focus on warming up key areas and injury prevention. Warm-up exercises should mimic body movements you make during a game.

II. A good warm-up always starts with light exercise to get the heart rate going and increase blood flow to the muscles. This could be light jogging with skips and arm rotations for 2-3mins.

III. Following this, actively stretch certain muscles that are predominantly tight amongst paintballers: shoulders, wrist, hamstrings, calves and hip flexors. Active stretching is better than static stretching at this point. Through active stretching you stretch a muscle through movement rather than holding a muscle at one point. You know that you are going to be required to move with some intensity during the game so you should really prepare your muscles to do it.

IV. Follow it up with some glute and core activation exercises, then balance and stability exercises. This could be floor bridges, vertical jumps and holds for 3 seconds and single leg hop and holds for 3 seconds. Then start working on more dynamic exercises, such as lunges, squats and hip rotations. This should be completed quite quickly, going from one exercise to the other.

V. Now you can work on some fast feet exercise and drills with some reaction drills. Keep this short but ensure you are driving your knees high and pumping your arms.

VI. Now that the muscles are nicely warmed up and the intensity has increased, you should start increasing your running speed. Start by running 20m distances at 50%, then 75%, then finally 100% of your maximum running speed. 10m stints of side shuffles and back peddling followed by a turn and sprint can also be included into this section.

VII. Remember to keep getting fluid on board throughout the warm up to remain hydrated.

VIII. Now you’re ready to go into sliding drills and switching hand work to get a feel for the game. This helps match specific sharpness and ensures you’re in the right mental state to go out there and play at a high intensity.

It’s all in the details. Focus on warming up your muscles to prevent injuries, getting ready for a high intensity battle and sharpening up your skills. A good warm-up sets you up for a killer performance.

See you in the Field !!!

Calentamiento
Error al calentar, prepárate para fracaso. El calentamiento es la parte más crucial de los preparativos para poner en un buen desempeño.

RESUMEN:
I. Un calentamiento debe empezar poco a poco y progresivamente poniéndose más intensos a un punto en el que estés está físicamente, mentalmente y técnicamente preparado para jugar. Debe ser de aproximadamente 20 a 30 minutos de duración y se centran en el calentamiento de áreas clave y la prevención de lesiones. Los ejercicios de calentamiento deben imitar los movimientos del cuerpo que haces durante un juego.

II . Un buen calentamiento siempre comienza con ejercicio ligero para poner el ritmo cardíaco en marcha y aumentar el flujo sanguíneo a los músculos. Esto podría ser un trotar ligeramente, con saltos y rotaciones del brazo de 2 - 3mins.

III . Después de esto, estirar activamente ciertos músculos que son predominantes entre los juegos de paintball: hombros, muñecas, pantorrillas y flexores de la cadera. Es mejor hacer un estiramiento el estiramiento estático en este punto. A través de estiramientos activos se estira un músculo a través del movimiento en estático de mantener un músculo en un punto. Tienes que saber que va a ser requerido para mover con cierta intensidad durante el juego, así que realmente debes preparar esos músculos para hacerlo.

IV . Seguir con algunos ejercicios de glúteos y activación del abdomen, y luego continuar, con ejercicios de equilibrio y estabilidad. Esto podría ser puentes de piso, saltos verticales y mantenerte durante 3 segundos en una sola pierna pequeños saltos. Luego empezar a trabajar en ejercicios más dinámicos, sentadillas y las rotaciones de la cadera. Esto debe ser completado rápido, al pasar de un ejercicio a otro.

V. Ahora puedes trabajar en algunos ejercicios de pies y simulacros con algunos ejercicios de reacción. Mantén esto corto, pero asegúrate de que está subiendo las rodillas altas y continuas con el movimiento brazos.

VI . Ahora que los músculos están calientes y la intensidad ha aumentado, se debe empezar a aumentar tu velocidad de sprint. Comienza por ejecutar distancias 20m a 50 %, luego el 75%, y finalmente el 100% de tu velocidad máxima.

VII . Recuerde que debes tomar agua todo el tiempo a lo largo del calentamiento para permanecer hidratado.

VIII . Ahora ya está listo para entrar en los ejercicios de deslizamiento y los cambios de manos para conseguir una sensación para el juego. Esto ayuda a la coordinación antes de un partido y asegura que está en el estado mental adecuado para ir y jugar con una intensidad alta.

Todo está en los detalles. Centrarse en el calentamiento de los músculos para evitar lesiones, preparándose para una batalla de alta intensidad y afilar tus habilidades.

Te Veo en el Field.
