Before the summer, we had to decide on what our
projects would be about, what we wanted to do and what we wanted to achieve by
doing them. We got to write a small description of them in a survey that was
collected on the web (I think it was SharePoint).
What I wrote then, was that I wanted to research and
find out what “snack” is the best before training and practice, depending on
how much time you have to eat or consume it, either just a few minutes or maybe
an hour or even more. I would research this myself, doing it together with my
own tennis practices since I play six days a week and on an elite level. Then during
the practice I would feel how the “snack” would help me perform throughout the
training. If I would feel hungry and tired with no energy it would clearly mean
that the “snack” was not the best one possible or maybe it would get me really
energetic and alert and then it would of course be a good snack. To complete
the research I was going to talk to health and nutrition experts as well as
keeping track of what every “snack” contained in form of fat, calories and
sugar etc.
However,
during the summer I was told by the doctors at Sophia-Hemmet (hospital close to
Stockholm Östra which has an extremely respectable athletic department) that I have
an injury in my cap that is inoperable. This meant that my tennis six days a
week would suffer and that I would no longer be able to play so much each week.
So the bottom line is that this project that I had planned cannot happen due to
my injury.
So what to
do now for my 100 point project is my new question that I have to figure out. Think,
think, think…
