Well we leave in just one week for Denmark.
Basically I’m focusing now more on building my stamina and maintaining good weight for competition. By doing short sprints and countinuous kcking drills I gain both speed and stamina, which i think is crucial the last few days before a tournament. I have to careful of injuries though, so we’re not doing a lot of full contact sparring. I’m also working on loosing the extra pounds by jogging or doing other cardio such as skipping rope.
My diet seems to be the hardest thing for me to work on, since I love food. And being an athlete who is usually at the top of my weight category, I have to pay special attention to what I eat generally. As a result I try to consume less than 2000 calories per day so when I work out i burn more calories than I consume. I’m also training on Sundays to add more time towards my training.
For those of you I haven’t seen in person yet, thanks again for coming out to support us at the Kick-A-Thon last week! It was really inspiring to see so much support from West Side and everyone who travelled from far away to kick with us!
