In many countries today, it has been observed that parents have started to rely on boarding schools for quality education. One major reason behind this is the discipline in every sector that a child starts to adopt at a young age. Also called popularly as, “residential schools,” students in such live-in institutions are exposed to various activities and learnings that help them make their future. But, how exactly can one understand which is the right residential school for kids?

Every school comes with its own set of unique facilities. But there also are certain common facilities that every residential school should provide. Here are such top 10 facilities to look for in a residential school before enrolling your child into one:

• Hygiene:

The foremost point that should be on your checklist when looking for a boarding school is hygiene maintenance. Humankind is known to hundreds of diseases, and it is only with proper sanitation facilities and learning that we can fight off the illnesses. Children spend hours inside the campus studying, playing and doing other essential activities. Hence, their focus cannot be disrupted by not maintaining high sanitation protocols.

• Hostel Rooms:

After hygiene, parents must keenly observe the facilities provided in the boarding schools’ hostel rooms. You should check if the available amenities are suitable for your child’s basic daily routine. The rooms must be comfortable and clean, just like your home. In this manner, you can be assured that your child would concentrate and grow without stressing himself or herself out to the extent that they get homesick.

• Emergency Medical Aids:

Several boarding schools may have a world-class education and extracurricular activity facilities. However, they will immediately fail in their endeavors to become the best if they lack in providing excellent emergency medical aids. An environment with kids easily comes across unfortunate experiences of them getting hurt or sick. This can be because of a small accident during a science experiment, an injury during a basketball match or a sudden rise in temperature due to weather change.

• Sports Facilities for Kids:

Sports is one of the most favorable ways of keeping oneself fit while enjoying the period of doing so. Residential schools should ensure keeping different sports equipment to help children explore. Exploring the various forms of sports allows an understanding of which sport they love and maybe make a career. Enrolling in a residential school with the finest sports facilities for kids definitely acts as the wisest decision.

• Education Facilities:

It is needless to say that all the research being made for a boarding school is primarily for education. Take a tour of the classrooms and study material that the school has to offer. To get a better insight, schedule short meetings with the teachers and principal to get an idea about their teaching methods and how that would impact your child’s growth.

• Security:

Safety for children should be considered in every essential aspect. Check for the different security measures that are in place for children. You may raise questions to the authorities about the type of security equipment they use, availability of guards at the entrances and more. When you feel the security is reliable, you may send your kid to the residential school.

• Surveillance:

Surveillance is slightly different from security measures when it comes to residential school for kids. Surveillance is essential to keep an eye on students to improve the quality and growth of children. For instance, proper surveillance ensures that no child on the campus is involved in unwanted activities.

• Extracurricular:

Along with education comes the necessity of exploring the creative side of a child. A good residential school will give equal importance to extracurricular activities wherein children are introduced to their other areas of talent. This can be dancing, singing, painting, playing instruments and more.

• Technology:

Technology goes hand-in-hand in enhancing the education quality of young minds as well as teachers. Hence, a residential school should incorporate the use and exposure of the latest technologies. Common equipment here can include the latest computers and excellent internet connections. They can be used to study materials, efficiently share courses and stay connected with teachers.

• Entertainment:

Students deserve to include some leisure hours in their daily routine. Hence, boarding schools should provide the facilities of a music room, TV room, games room and other such arrangements. With long hours of studies and extracurricular activities, a moment of relaxation also plays a major role in improving a child’s memory.

Seeking quality education for a child in a safe environment is every parents’ priority. No matter the city of residence or occupation of a parent, finding a good school with every essential facility is not a daunting task today. However, one also needs to consider these important factors. This helps understand the standard and available facilities that directly affect a child’s education, health and more.

Over the 74 seasons of NBA games, we’ve watched and appreciated players like Tim Dunkan, Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant. But for all the Indian fans, we worship the players from our country who made it big as a sportsperson. The era of Indian players in the NBA games started in 2015 when Sim Bhullar became the first player of Indian descent to play in an NBA game. Since then, the world has seen three other players who have been rostered or participated in either the NBA Summer League or G-League.

Let’s take a look at them:

1. Sim Bhullar

Sim Bhullar, a 7’3” centre, was undrafted in the 2014 NBA draft but jumped on the Sacramento Kings Summer League team that offseason. He then went on board with the Reno Bighorns, the Kings’ G-League affiliate, where he played most of his 2014-15 season. Later that season, Sacramento Kings signed him to a 10-day contract. On April 8 2015, he became the first Indian player to score in an NBA game after securing two points against Utah Jazz. In the 2015-16 season, he played for the Toronto Raptors’ G-League affiliate, the Raptors 905. He currently plays in NBL China for Guangxi Weizhuang.

2. Satnam Singh

Even though Bhullar became the first Indian to play in an NBA Game, Satnam Singh, a 7’2” centre, made history by becoming the first Indian player to be selected in the NBA Draft. In the second round of the 2015 NBA draft, he was picked up by Dallas Mavericks. However, he was dismissed by the Maverick and picked up by their G-League affiliate, the Texas Legends.
In the 2016-17 season, he was resigned by the Legends. He currently plays for the St. John’s Edge in the NBL of Canada.

3. Amjyot Singh

Amjyot Singh, a 6’8” forward, went undrafted in 2014. In the 2017-18n season, he joined the Thunder’s G-League affiliate called Oklahoma City Blue. The Blue waived him at the end of the season, only to sign him back five days later. He is currently on the Blue’s roster for the next G-League season.

4. Palpreet Singh

Even though Palpreet Singh, a 6’9” forward, was drafted to the Long Island Nets in the fourth round of the 2016 NBA Developmental League, he hasn’t played an NBA or G-League game yet.

What is Sports Psychology? 

Sports psychology is the study of how psychology influences sports, athletic performance, exercise, and other physical activities. Professional sports psychologists regularly assist athletes to cope with the pressure that comes from competition and overcome problems with focus and motivation. They also work with athletes to improve performance and recover from injuries.

There are a number of different topics that are of special interest to sports psychologists. Some professionals focus on a specific area, while others study a wide range of techniques.

– Developing Focus: Involves the ability to tune out distractions, such as a crowd of screaming fans, and focus attention on the task at hand.

– Visualization: Involves visualizing performing a task, such as participating in an athletic event or successfully performing a particular skill.

– Motivation: A major subject in sports psychology, the study of motivation looks at both extrinsic and intrinsic motivators. Extrinsic motivators are external rewards, such as trophies, money, medals, or social recognition. Intrinsic motivators arise from within, such as a personal desire to win or the sense of pride that comes from performing a skill.

What is Sports Nutrition? 

Sports nutrition is often said to be the foundation of athletic success. It is a well-designed nutrition plan that allows active young and adult athletes to perform at their best. It supplies the right food type, energy, nutrients, and fluids to keep the body well hydrated and functioning at the best possible levels. A sports nutrition diet may vary day to day, depending on specific energy demands. It is unique to each person and is planned according to individual goals.

A nourishing diet can enhance an athlete’s performance, make them more efficient, and increase their recovery rate during a match rapidly. The intake they follow should promote muscle growth and repair.

An inadequate diet can hamper their performance and lead to an increased recovery rate. It can also lead to hormone suppression because sports generate a lot of stress hormones, and encourage your body to release energy stores.

Before we dive into various dribbling drills, let’s first get our position right. Bend your knees while keeping your chest up; this will allow you to look forward and keep an eye on the floor. Try looking forward while dribbling to have a clear vision of the court. Always use your fingertips to dribble instead of your palm; spread your fingers around the ball to achieve better control over it. 

Moving forward, let’s start with stationary dribbling drills:

1) Ball Slaps – Hold the ball in one hand and slap as hard as you can with the other one. Now, switch the hand and repeat it. This drill can prove to be a very effective warm-up.

2) Wraps – There are various sorts of wraps. You can practice each one separately, and then club them together.
– Around the ankle: Wrap the ball around your ankle without letting the ball touch the ground.
– Around the waist: Wrap the ball in a circular motion around your waist.
– Around the head: Wrap the ball in a circular motion around your head.
– The figure of eight: Wrap the ball around your legs, making an eight.

3) Pound dribble – This drill requires you to bend forward and dribble the ball a few inches off the ground with one hand while looking forward. Start with your right hand first and then repeat with the left hand.

4) Kills – This drill involves dribbling gradually from ankle to shoulder height. Start dribbling from your ankle, and with each bounce gradually increase the height until the ball reaches your shoulder. As and when the ball reaches your shoulder, kill the ball and start from the ankle again. Execute this drill with both your hands, one after the other.

Stationary dribbling drills can be a good warm-up before your daily practice routine. Next, let’s take a look at the various on the move drills that will help you scale up your game:

1.  Change of Speed Dribbling – This is an excellent drill that improves your control over the ball and teaches change of pace, which is quite helpful during a match. To execute this drill, take two balls (one in each hand) and divide your sleep levels.

2. Tight Cone Ladder – This is a high-intensity drill that improves ball handling, footwork, finishing, and shooting. For this drill, set up cones on the basketball court, in a way that they lead the player towards the rim. The cones should have enough space between them for you to dribble. As you go through them, the cones should be between your legs. You can dry different combinations of dribbling, in which each time the ball lands between the cones. Finish the set with a jump shot.
