Ata Marie Lilli-Rose,
ReplyDeleteIt’s great to read all the information you have written about Richie McCaw, Maria Tutaia and Zumba + Salsa dancing! Richie McCaw started playing for the All Blacks when he was only 20 years old! So he must have been pretty good in high school to have been able to play for the All Blacks within a few years!
I think you are right! Anyone can be a hero, even someone in your family. It doesn’t need to be someone who is famous. I’m sure Maria Tutaia missed a few goals, but I’m sure she practised her shooting everyday. That’s why she has such a good shooting rate! She is calm under pressure and I remember her making some of the winning shots for games she has played. How long have you been playing netball for?
You have found some interesting facts about both Zumba and Salsa! I didn’t realise that salsa is a dance that helps stretch your back. I might have to learn some salsa moves to stretch myself out after my indoor netball games. Have you ever had the chance to try either Zumba or Salsa? I have tried zumba a few times with friends but my coordination isn’t the best, but I had lots of fun!
Keep the great blogs coming. Not long now until it is all over!
