How have we begun week2 at Christian College in the Elevate program?

Goal setting and Journaling-
What am I am I focusing on this session/week?
How hard am I going to push myself this week?
What’s something I took from our session?
Different stretches and improvements?
What’s on in my week?

Physical activity boosts cognitive function
Reviews of studies show that physical activity is positively related to academic performance, with regular activity linked to improvements in attention, memory and cognition.

Fruit- Toast

What This Means Practically
✅ Healthy morning meals — like fruit with yoghurt, whole-grain toast or combinations including fruit and protein — are backed by research as beneficial for cognition and school performance.

✅ Morning physical activity — whether a walk, bike ride to school, exercise session or active play — is also linked to better focus and school performance.

Together, these habits can help set up a child’s energy, attention, motivation and memory for the school day.

This is a program designed to help encourage young athletes/students to start planning out their future and what they are wanting to achieve, making sure they move, fuel their body and mind, helping both on court and their future…

Our lesson today was- NEVER SAY I CAN’T DO THIS!

21/02/2026

During the session today, our young girls took a moment to work on-

• Physicality- it’s ok to make some contact
• Establishing ground- don’t push/shove or exhaust yourself
• Stepping between the defenders feet
(Most the time a defender will naturally take a step back)
• Hands up to show the referee we are not pushing off

when you have the defender under the basket and you are comfortable, turning to get the ball, sealing the defender on our back, attacking the basket for an easy 2points.

Done correctly it’s an easy 🪣 125% of the time!

“The standard you allow is the standard you set!”This seems to be quickly becoming the standard our athletes are accusto...

“The standard you allow is the standard you set!”

This seems to be quickly becoming the standard our athletes are accustomed to, regardless of the outcomes on the court- they going to WIN at life!

If that happens our job is done!
