Brooke Neal told us about the 3 Olympic Values (Excellence, Friendship and Respect) and also one of her own values, Purposeful. She talked about “ What’s her why” and she said “ Her why is her family and her country” She had told us about her hard times, but she never gave up. She had showed us her goals from 9 years ago, and on it had she had written, “ Go to the 2016 Rio Olympics.” She had achieved her goal and she told us to write our goals down. “ Writing down your goals, is better than keeping it in your head, because only when you see your goals everyday, will you try to succeed.” This is what Brooke had said to all of us. She has set a new goal for herself and that is to participate in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. We need to start thinking about “What is our why?"

Hockey With Lydia

We had hockey training with our coach Lydia. We had to bend our knees so we don't hurt our back. She taught some safety rules and they were to keep the bat below our knees and not to swing it around or it might hurt somebody in the face. We learnt how to hold the bat and we learnt how to move and control the bat with our hockey stick. She showed a demonstration about how to control the ball and we had to use the flat side of the bat.
