Nash, & I.

The following are some parts of interview done by steve nash.. my all time favorite nba point guard next to kobe and jason kidd..

This is nothing to do with arrogance but i find some parts of myself in him... and i just wanna write it down in this blog of mine.

As you get a little older, are there things you have to do differently to keep up with the younger players?

Well, you have to work really hard, the older you get. I really feel as good as I've ever felt, but I think you have to work hard and you have to be extremely specific in what you’re doing. You do things with a purpose. I really have to think about what I’m doing. Even when I play soccer in the summer, I'm consciously and subconsciously thinking about how I'm moving, making sure that I'm using the right muscles, using the right sequences, leading from the center, all these things that allow me to reinforce things that (1) will make me a better athlete and (2) prevent me from being injured.

------------ I've always trusted there's a right way to move things.. and Mr chan's right... the State's physiotherapists.. are movement specialists indeed... I'm just glad I have you, Mr chan (and my buddy mich.) .. :D


So you're consciously thinking of this during soccer games?

I think about it in the moments I can, and hopefully those moments allow it to become second nature in the moments that you're concentrating on something else. I think what's happened over years of training and thinking about it, it becomes something that is either second nature or is easy to get back when you lose it.

------------ Those who know how I train should know clearly that's what i do in my practice/training sessions.. i never believed in wacking your body ever since i picked up personal training seriously.


You've said that you were raised in a pretty laid-back family, there wasn't a lot of pressure put on you. So where did it all come from?

Well, it's natural. I don't know, I didn't have a choice, it's just the way I am. I think I'm a high-energy person to start with. I'm really passionate about things I enjoy, and I like to be out there doing things, and learning and challenging myself. So it's just more fun that way, just to get out and try and do and learn and meet people and try to do something new.

--------- Yups thats me indeed.. no pressure from family since young.. just born with my own work-ethics.. so very westernized but reared in a hokkien family with my dad, late dad, still against pre marital sex. :D


Are there days when you just can't get that (good shooting) rhythm?

Of course. Who knows, maybe some days it's biorhythms, but I think generally days when you have bad rhythm is when you have tired legs. Your legs are really the whole driving force to shooting. Rhythm is easy when you got your legs underneath you.

--------- Trust me, I know what he's saying.. back in those days when I was sinking Threes in threes in a row, make that many many rows.. nicknamed bunny by ms jacjac auntie.. cos i got good legs.:P

If masturbation is a sin... esp. after sexual days... then.... i've...

Sinned,
Sinner
