Holy Conundrums!

Next week, a great battle is afoot! We will be taking our midterms exams for the second trimester already. It seems that the clock has been ticking faster than we we would have preferred. Fear not, mighty student, for we can conquer the obstacles ahead!

1 . Sleep Well, My Friend- Get a good night’s rest before the test. A mind well rested is a mind for the hunt!

2. Study, Study, Study!- Hit the books (not because of anger and frustration, Mr. Literal)! One must develop good-no, excellent- study habits if one wants to succeed. A mind well prepared is a mind for the hunt!

3. Seeketh Help From Others- Are you finding the lessons too difficult? Suck up that ego and ask help from others who are knowledgeable on the matter. A mind of full understanding is a mind for the hunt!

4.  Put A Smile On That Nervous Face- Do not worry, my worrisome chap! Relax! Don’t let the pressure get to you! A mind well conditioned is a mind for the hunt!

Other Stuff!

   Read, Footballer!
Now that it’s raining quite a bit, I think we should focus on something we don’t usually care about. Our football shoes are probably the most expensive single pay investment we have to make. It is proper that we take care of it properly. Firstly, sun-drying is a no-no. The material may get damaged especially if your spikes are primarily made of synthetic leather. The damage is evident from thinning linings in the shoe or when the outer material becomes flakey. Another common mistake is washing our shoes using a washing machine. Nothing says “Your spikes are going to last for less than 4 months” than this big mistake. Cleats have to be wiped clean from the outside and “newspapered” from the inside. Try to use some shoe perfume to rid it of the smell if you want. Newspapers are probably going to be your best pal for shoe care. When your cleats get wet, stuff it with used newspapers. This would absorb the moisture from the inside for sure. Just wipe the outside clean with  a rag.
