Swimming is Great

The sport of swimming has been recorded since prehistoric times; the earliest references to swimming include the Gilgamesh, Iliad, the Odyssey, The Bible, Beowulf, Quran and others. Swimming emerged as a competitive sport in the 1830s in England and competitive swimming became popular in the nineteenth century. the goal of competitive swimming is to beat the competitors in any given event. In my experience swimming is hard but fun. And I love it when I'm underwater.

Basketball

Before I start with my explanation about basketball I must tell you, that basketball is "not" an easy sport. You need dedication to continue in every exhausting fast paced and snappy practices on the court. When game starts you don't just get the ball from the opponent "however" you want. You need to guard and get the ball without harming a.k.a foul/fouling them. That also applies when it's your turn to hold and move the ball. You don't just run away with it, you need to be able to dribble it down the court and be able to shoot. Basketball is a physical game too actually, it is very physical. That is why you need to train to it, to master it just like any other physical sport. Because training, is the key to success.

Arnis: The Nation's Sport

HEY GUYS! Do you know our Philippine sport is Arnis? Well its a contact sport of course, it doesn't mean you can't enter and win a championship if your body is weak. The only thing that made me win is my mind by using tactics such as blocking or dodging the strikes of your opponents. During my practices I fell a lot of times but it doesn't you should give up, it only means we have to try harder and harder that's why I won. By disarming my opponent I won the game, we had a tie score in round three. I saw Chris and Dave outside the ring cheering me up. I might not win if I didn't have inspirations. While waiting to page my name, I was scared. The referee matched me with an opponent three times bigger than me. Well the bad thing about this sport you'll get hurt a lot even if you're wearing armor. My right arm got numb for 2 days.The good thing is you will meet a lot of friends after that tournament, we went to Camp Regulus in Ajuy, to celebrate and practice.
