Conserve Energy in Multi-Heat Sprint Events

3. When setting a lineup, a coach must consider the number of heats in various events, as well as each individual runner's ability, stamina and mental toughness, as well as the competition that each individual will face. 3. If your best sprinter wants to compete in multiple events - for example, let's say he wants to run both the 100 and 200, as well as a relay - the coach should add the number of heats in those events and consider, real-istically, how tired the run-ner will be toward the end of the meet. 3. The competi-tion a runner will face is also a key consideration. If your runner is clearly supe-rior to the competition in one individual event, it might be worth the risk to use him/her in two events, knowing your runner has a strong chance to win at least once. But if both fields are highly competi-tive, you might choose to focus on one event, to give your runner the best chance to win, rather than tire him/her out and per-haps settle for a pair of third-place finishes. 6. In the end, it boils down to how well coaches know their ath-letes. If you know your athletes well, trust your instincts when you make out your lineup. But always keep in mind the "Don't be a pig" rule. When you allow your competitors to focus on the events in which they have the best chance of success, you’ll generally get the best results from your star athletes, and from your team.

By Mike Rosenbaum, About.com Guide

Adapted by: Elvie Evangelista

Every track and field head coach eventually faces the same question. How best to use your run-ners at a major competition that includes events with multiple heats? Do you instruct your top athletes to conserve energy during early heats? Is it better to tell your sprinter, for exam-ple, to take it a bit easy in the first heat of the 100- and 200-meter races, or should you tell him to go all-out in the 100, and not use him in the 200? Here's How: 1. Asking ath-letes to conserve energy, i.e., not to compete with 100 percent effort, can be risky, particularly in shorter races. For example, if your runner eases off the throt-tle too much, and finds himself too far behind his competitors, there are only seconds to try to catch up. Additionally, some runners may find it difficult, mental-ly, to compete at three-quarter speed in a heat then try to shift gears and go 100 percent in the final. 2. Rather than asking runners to conserve energy during a heat, a coach should use the lineup card as the key to an energy-conservation strategy. A successful track coach once told me that his philosophy boiled down to four words: “Don’t be a pig.” Just because a sprinter is permitted to run in four events doesn’t mean he must run in four events. Just because a runner is capable of com-peting in two distance rac-es in the same meet doesn’t mean it’s a good idea.

Weather Makes Basketball Popular

Basketball is considered the number one spectators'

event in the country simply because it is usually held under a roof

(at the Araneta Coliseum for example). Baseball and football could

not gain popularity because Filipino spectators are not willing to

seat under the scorching sun or heavy rains. It must be noted,

however, that young Filipinos are beginning to switch to new

games, such as billiards and computer games, because of the

limited number of basketball courts in the country.

The trade fair aimed at showcasing and promoting the local busi-nesses of each division.

Beyond 2012 Palarong Bicol

2012 Palarong Bicol, once again, put Naga City in Bicol’s sports map. Naga also played host to Palarong Pambansa in 1997, 2002, and 2006. Be-hind these three grassroots sports grandeurs is Hon. Jesse M. Robredo, Naga’s former mayor, now De-partment of Interior and Local Government secretary, who always has brought the city to regional and even international fame and honor in sports and in almost all fields of endeavour. Today, the legacy continues with the young Naga City Mayor John G. Bongat. This year’s Palaro, that is intended to devel-op the sport prowess, attitude and virtue among the youth, does not only provide sports gains and future greatness but also usher countless opportunities that parade cultural diversities and lifestyles. Equally im-portant is that all athletic delegations paid tribute and respect to the Bikolano and Filipino sports enthusiasts and aficionados. On the side, Palaro is a fiesta fever that opens doors to commercialism. Bikol’s native prod-ucts are at their low prices. Pili and sili are adored by different tongues. Malls and department stores sound their cash registers. Naga never sleeps at night. Ho-tels are frequented by tourists. Food, beer, laughter and friendship abound at this very heart of Bikol. Naga really smiles to the world. Palarong Pambansa also cuts across reli-gion. The barrier in faith is never a hindrance. The Iglesia ni Cristo believers chat with the Catholics. The Muslims converse with the Aglipayans. The Born Again Christians express their ideas with the Mor-mons. They talk about basketball, chess, Bikol Ex-press, Mariners’ majorettes, the city mayor, and the winning and losing the games. This Palaro makes everybody a winner. The athletes of Bikol’s 13 Divisions flex their muscles to be the fastest, the strongest and the best. If their efforts fall short, what they will bring back home are the experiences, friendships and smiles that Naga people offer.

produce bunch of cheat-ers, a culture of cheaters that do not answer to the Palaro’s noble mission and vision. Winning is not all. We, in the De-pED, try very hard to produce quality students and graduates who have the proper and good values for them to face vocational or college life or life itself. We incul-cate to the students the values of honesty, integ-rity, fairness, and truth-fulness. In cheating, nobody wins. All be-come losers.

Trained for eight months, my good young athletes still lost the game but all were proud that they played each game in the fairest possible way.

Before the ago-ny of defeat haunted their beings, my 15-year-old sprinter had the luxu-ry of taking things lighter. Before the start of the 400-meter run, he took the right hand of his competitor, whom he thought was old enough to be included in the game, and put it on his forehead and said, “Bisa po.” He did this to three of his contend-ers.

I remember when I was still a coach in athletics-boys of Naga in the Palarong Bicol at the Pili Stadium. My young athletes would always complain about their competitors from the other Divisions, who they thought, were five or so years older than they were. The age of my athletes ranged from 14-17 when added five more years to my 17-year-old player, the play-ers of the other Divisions would be 22, far from the age bracket of the guide-lines that were and are stipulated by the Palaro which is 18. A 22 year-old athlete is mightier, stronger, faster than most of my 17-year-old students. My players would still complain of the height difference and the muscular body that their sports rival pos-sessed. They said that

By Honesto M. Pesimo Jr.

they were towering at 6” so their legs were longer and stronger and that their bodies were fully developed, similar to James Yap’s and Chris Tiu’s but my students found it hard to see any mestizo features among the athletes. They were all native Bikolanos. To my dismay, I looked at their legs and found vari-cose veins that passed across, not parallel, their legs. Their and my con-clusion: They were over aged.

Jesse M. Robre-do, then the Naga City Mayor, would emphasize that it was better to lose a game than to cheat, though the city would always aspire excellence in every field of endeav-our. That guiding princi-ple became a dictum.

What seems to be the problem? Is win-ning the ultimate goal?

Diretsuhan na. A number of, but not all, coaches are too eager to win and that they will do anything to win. From tampering the birth certif-icates to letting their pro-tégés acquire different identities. If this will con-tinue to happen, we

Isang malaking karangalan para sa mga Nagueno na sa lungsod ng Naga ginanap ang Pala-rong Bicol. Nangan-gahulugan lamang ito ng promosyon para sa si-yudad. Bilang isang uri ng libangan, malaki ang ginagampanan ng Isports sa ating lipunan. Kung mapapansin, naglipana ang mga kabataan na adik sa droga. Bakit? Dahil ba gusto lang nila? Maaaring Oo, subalit kung iisipin, hindi magagawa ng isang indibidwal na pumasok sa pagtutulak kung mayroon siyang makabuluhang pinaggagamitan ng oras. Tulad ngayon, dahil sa kahirapan, huminto ang karamihan sa pag-aaral. Kadalasan, patam-bay-tambay lang at walang ginagawa. Kaya nman,

madali silang mahikayat sa mga illegal na gawain. Sa tulong ng isports, maililipat natin ang atensyon ng mga kabataan. Dito nila magugugol ang kanilang oras. Malaking tulong rin ang mga paligsahan dahil sa masisinang pag-sasanay ng mga kalahok. Dito, mas lalong nahuhubog sa larangan ng palakasan. Bukod pa rito, nagbibigay ng mga iskolarship ang mga eskwelahan para sa mga atleta. Sa gayun, maipagpapatuloy nila ang kanilang pag-aaral. Bilang resulta, nakapagproprodyus tayo ng mga magagaling na mga manlalaro na nakikilala sa buong mundo. Nakaka-daragdag karangalan din ito sa ating bansa. S a k a b i l a n g p an ig , ma ra mi an g nagrereklamo sa mga pala-ro. Dahil sa kakulangan ng suportang pinansyal, ka-dalasang nagsasakripisyo ang mga kalahok- walang suportang alawans, gamit at kung anu-ano pa. Sa kabila nito, umaasa ang mga admin-istrasyong may hawak sa

Ni Aileen M. Andal

kanila na mag-uuwi sila ng karangalan. Nakakatawa na umaasa tayo ng ma-gandang bunga sa isang bagay na hindi natin lubus-ang pinag-ukulan. Paano mananalo ang mga atleta kung ku-lang naman sila sa pondo? Kung gusto natin ng ma-gandang resulta, maglaan tayo ng sapat na oras at pinansyal na tulong sa isang bagay. G a y u n p a m a n , w a l a n g p e r p e k to n g pamunuan. Lahat ay may pagkukulang. Sa pagka-kataong ito, kailangan na nating gawin ang ating parte. Iaasa na lang ba natin lahat sa pamaha-laan? Huwag nating sisihin ang pamunuan sa kanilang pagkukulang kung sakaling hindi tayo nagwa-wagi sa mga laro. Hindi nakasala-lay sa pondo ang pagkapa-nalo. Sa isang atleta, hindi ang mga gamit o allowance ang nagdidikta ng pagkapanalo. Ito ang determi-nasyon.

Sa Aking Pagtakbo By: Honesto M. Pesimo Jr., Leon Q. Mercado High School

H’wag mong pansinin ang bumubukol sa aking binti, Ang tumitigas kong tiyan sapagkat aking tinititigan Ang linyang naghihiwalay sa mabilis at mabagal, Sa malakas at mahina, sa nangunguna at nahuhuli. Sinasabi mo na di ko kayang taluntulin ang tagumpay Dahil ako’y mahinang pagaspas ng pakpak ng mga paa; Ako pa ri’y di lipad kundi pagong na hakbang ng talunan Ngunit aking liliparin ang tinatakbuhan sa aking pagsisimula. Di ako magigitla o mabibingi sa hudyat ng putok ng baril. Di rin ako gegewang. Tuwid akong makikipaghabulan sa hangin. Kung ako ma’y matapilok at naging mabilis ang aking mga hakbang Kaysa sa ritmo ng aking katawan, ito’y isa lang paglaya’t paglalayag.

Maglaro ka, maglaro nang masaya. Mahirap ka man o may kaya, Maglaro ka, maglaro ng may pag-asa, Nang may hinahon at may pagkusa. Maglaro ka, maglaro sa gitna Kahit pawisan o manghina. Maglaro ng may determinasyon Sa puntos may mabaon, kailangang bumangon. Maglaro ka, mahalaga ito Pagkat saan man, doon at dito, Ang buhay ay isang laro. Minsa’y natatalo, minsa’y nananalo.
