UA&P - I AM S.T.R.O.N.G: The Poi

Jewelz shares..


When I joined the Philippine Flag Football League (PFFL) during my first year in college, I met new friends and great people. There were dads, moms, people in high school and college, some working with all kinds of jobs. One thing that fascinated me most was the poi. Our coaches, Joe Pagulayan and Dino were really good at this and even taught in Boracay. For one of the competitions in Assumption College, some of my team members from the Avengers used the poi in parts of their routine and won Championship. It's really amazing how you can do so much with a ball attached to a string. It takes a lot of hand-eye coordination and it serves as a great workout too! Well, here's a video I want to share with you... enjoy!






You can try this out at home and make your own poi. All you need is a pair of soccer socks and some beans to put inside, then tie it up. You can also roll another pair of socks and put it into the soccer socks. Of course, you can also buy some if you have a friend. :) Try it out, there are simple tricks you can easily learn!

What do you think of the video?
