[QUOTE="jonny24, post: 709333, member: 62880"] [COLOR=#000000][FONT=helvetica]Had my first training session last night. One other guy from my union club came along, so that was good. Everybody was really friendly and helped explain things. We started with some basics about the tackle and play-the ball, which was actually more difficult that I thought it would be. I was right- I hate being pinned down. Do I have to go through that every time? Can I make contact, hit the deck then get up and play it? Other than that, the two man tackle we practiced wasn't too bad. I was pretty at actually playing the ball, it'll have to come with practice I guess. After that we started some basic running plays, with lead runners and sweep runners. I [I]kind [/I]of understand it better now that I've had time to think about it, but I was somewhat lost at the time and didn't execute well. I've never been any good at back plays, when I used to fill in on wing all I managed was to remember if the play involved me or not, and go fill in for the fullback. I'm definitely a forward :cool:. Also, [I]fuuuck [/I]cardio :lol: I definitely need to find a way to train for it better. I used to do sprints outside, but with a foot of snow and -10 C weather (-33 on Sunday!) that ain't happening. Maybe bike sprints at the gym? Anyway, it was plenty tough but kind of fun. We'll see how next week goes.[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][FONT=helvetica] [/FONT][/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
