Because Australia and New Zealand are actually collective hiveminds.

Once you've run gassers for the first time in practice, you'll run them every practice. Sorry, dude. :/ Think of it this way, though: Stamina.

Did they ever line you up on the field yet?

What do you mean line us up in the field?

Also, are you absolutely sure you run them every practice?

[Tack]

Suicide runs, Burpie runs. Goalclimbing. The dreaded 'six inches'.

I miss footy.

We did, and I didn't even make my high school team. They're usually run at the end of practice, but only one or two, depending on if you have any stragglers.

Have you been put in formation and practiced blocking yet? Do you know if you're going to be playing with the Offense or Special Teams?

Just reading the word football made me have flashbacks. Horrible flashbacks.
A muddy field. It is snowing. You and the other 15 kids in the class who don't like sport being shouted at and bullied by the 10 who probably take steroids. You know that an hour of this remains, and the lesson always finishes late, and it is always just before lunch, and you must get changed in a frigid changing room.
Truly, there is a Hell.

Oh, they havn't decided our positions yet, if that's what you meant

Today I didn't go. After a screaming match with my mom telling her that since she woke me up at 9-fucking-15 and we were supposed to be dressed at 9:45, I didn't have enough time to hydrate and eat a good breakfast, and I wasn't going to make the whole team run extra gassers because of me[Like yesterday. I became dehyrdated, mouth became COMPLETELY fucking dry, literally, couldn't produce any saliva for the world, and the area around my spleen or lower right abdomen started hurting, so they made us do another one] and she just went "HUFF HUFF HUFF!!" and said that I was grounded for a month, and I told her that I didn't care, I wasn't going to make the team run extra gassers and reminders because of me. She came back in later and told me that  a month was ridiculous and she was just grounding me for the weekend.

[Jackrabbit]

Yeah, you really need to get up earlier if you're serious about this.

[x2yzh9]

I am, I just forgot to tell my mom that I needed to get up earlier and she got mad at me.

[sneakey pete]

Err, can't you just take some responsability for yourself and get yourself up at the appropriate time?

[Josephus]

Yeah dude, get an alarm clock or something.

[x2yzh9]

Err, can't you just take some responsability for yourself and get yourself up at the appropriate time?

I did. I admitted it was my fault and that I forgot to tell her to wake me up earlier.

Or Rugby Union.

I played as a wing a few times in league, pivot in league, and then went on to prop in union.

Now someone explain how that works?

in the UK league is the northern game, Union is the southern. Ive had the rules of league explained to me but i forgotten them because northerners are savages.

also im not from ausstralia but i know that assie rules is for pussies. Now Cricket is a proper sport.

No, it's because southerners are softies.

Get yourself up earlier, not get your mom to get you up earlier.

Also, don't expect to not run in full pads. We ran our asses off one day (3 50s, Ladders, Rolling, more 40's etc., finally finished.) all in full pads. I could have sworn I was going to die. My head coach literally made me sit one out, which kind of sucked, but didn't because it felt like my throat had closed up.

Running is hard. It's part of practice, just as sleds, game situation, and 2 minute drills are. You will hate running, as is obvious already. To those who don't hate it, they will run you until you hate it



In brighter news, our first JV game is tomorrow! Woo!

[Gorjo MacGrymm]

One thing to think about, this is your first time around.  If you play again next year, you can be better prepared and have practiced running/sprinting/jogging to keep your stamina up before the season and practice starts.  Also, if you stick through it till the end of the season, the running will seem easy and just boring busy work.

Pay very close attention to the coaches when they teach blocking schemes and plays, otherwise, they will be very very very unahppy with you........ (in football, thats called a "bad thing" - remember, the coaches have 20-50+ plus other padded armored players who want to please the coaches, and that the coaches can, uhh, have you "block" them, uhhh, over and over, not necesarily one at a time, and the gassers that can come before, after and in-between your "blocking" training...........oh those halcyon days).

Have you run a version of "Bull in the Ring" yet?
