Funny you should say that, at my kids team we were told by the committee that this season the man of the match trophies were being replaced with player of the week trophies. This is because we have some girls in some ages groups and to be fair and inclusive. Also the man of the match award suggests it’s the best player. as we are inclusive club with mixed abilities the award should be spread out to make sure everyone gets it during the season not just the best players 🤦 Edited January 4 by Turkish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rallyboy Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 While it's good to move with the times, that whole non-competitive element is nothing new. About a hundred years ago when I was coaching my son's school team I was summoned to see the head teacher and advised that I was putting too much emphasis on playing well and trying to win, when all we were doing was training, and playing in proper positions in a league. It was also made very clear that the star centre forward who was miles above the level of everyone else should be given less game time and if possible, the performance levels of the whole group, including his, should be lowered to the quality of the least-useful player. The good player should be sidelined, and forced to be mediocre... I didn't think that was a particularly good way to prepare kids for sport, a competitive world, or a way to teach them how to accept not being the best at anything. Hopefully things have improved. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turkish Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 People describing very simple things with jargon and bullshit, usually to either sell you something or sound clever. For example i heard a PT in the gym yesterday telling a guy in his fifties he needed to increase his zone 2 cardio and went on at great length to tell him what it was and the benefits, he may have told him what to actually do but the poor fella was probably paying £40 a hour for some gimp to tell him in bellend speak it was probably a good idea to go out for a brisk walk once a day.

Turkish Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 10 hours ago, trousers said: Gyms im sort of with you. I've unfortunately had to quit crossfit for a number of reasons so just got a family membership at the local David Lloyd. First thing that pissed me off was the joining fee, £280 they wanted for 2 of us and 10 year old. When i asked them what it was for they couldn't really answer, so i told them they were charging me that much money to type our details into their system. I refused to pay it as it was a rip off and left, they rang a day later saying they would waive the joining fee if we joined by the end of the month. When you're there there seems to be mainly two types of people, the posers, birds in full make up and lycra not doing much or blokes in vests posing in the mirrors round the weights, taking ages over every set, doing things like arms curls in the squat rack or pull ups, where they do barely half a rep, then taking selfies etc. Or people really out of shape who dont know what they're doing, spend ages walking on the treadmill doing no strength training and are prey for the useless PTs who rather than correcting peoples terrible form are posing themselves trying to impress the girls. (See Zone 2 cardio guy above) In the main commercial gyms are horrendous mainly because people are there to pose or think that if they spend an hour "doing cardio" then they can eat and drink what they want then get annoyed when they dont lose weight and give up. The wacky names they give to shit classes like "cyclone" for spinning and the simple fact there is so much bullshit about the health and fitness industry to try and sell stupid people the next easy fix for their weight loss.

Turkish Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 32 minutes ago, Winnersaint said: Nothing wrong with Zone 2, as long as you combine with other zones. i get that but serious a guy in his mid fifties who looked like he'd no exercised for 20 years doesn't need a detailed explanation fo what zone two cardio is, go out for a brisk walk for at least 30 minutes a day at a level where you it's not easy but you can sustain the same pace for the whole time would suffice, not some jumped up little cock going on about the various zones of training etc, it might be interesting to an athlete but making it too complicated and trying to make you sound clever to the average gym goer. Probably so they think hes a genius and buys more sessions.
