Summary
This book is about the NRL career and life of Sonny Bill Williams.
It speaks about all the problems and controversy of him changing codes and changing teams.
It shows he wasn't money hungry but just wanted to experience new sports, codes and team environments.
Personal Response
I related to Sonny Bill himself because we both had to make a difficult choice in thinking about changing teams/sports. He wanted to make a move over the ditch to Super Rugby at the Chiefs and I wanted to move clubs from Hornby Panthers to Linwood Keas. It was a hard choice for him because he had mad a massive fan club in the NRL and it was hard for me because my family plays for Linwood but all my mates play for Hornby. It just shows me how family and communities are so loyal and that its a hard choice to think about changing teams.
This text gave me insight into how people have to make difficult choices in every day activities. Just having to make a difficult choice in sport would be easy compared to choices presidents have to make. It would be easy because sports decisions only effect you and your team but choices from presidents effects a whole country, I'm linked to this because both effect me.
I was shocked when Sonny just dumped his manager for a new one like he was nothing. When he didn't get his manager to understand his point of view. So he decided to go out and get him a new manager. Non-surprisingly he got the same manager as his good mate boxer Mundine. He just walked out because he wasn't being treated fairly and he made the best move because he has experienced new things that weren't available at the Bulldogs like playing for the All Blacks in the World Cup win and playing in the 2016 Olympics on the New Zealand Sevens team. I link to this because I have left a team when I was younger because I left my Union team and I went to League and I've experienced so many things that I would've never gotten to try if I was still back at Union.

Newtons Laws
28/3/17
1. Who is Isaac Newton - Isaac Newton was a famous Mathematician/Scientist and discovered gravity and invented the 3 Laws of motion.
2. List the three laws of motion - First one is the law of inertia the second is force = Mass x Acceleration and the last one is equal and opposite.
The Law Of Inertia - When an object has stopped moving it will stay at stationery and when it is in motion it will stay moving the only way for it to stop being in motion is if an unbalanced force e.g(Friction/Drag) it will slow down and the only way it will speed up is if a push force acts upon it e.g the wind blowing at your back. It is just like if you were up in space your non stop moving or in motion just like if your in motion on a swing your non stop moving unless a unbalanced force acts upon you like friction of your feet dragging on the ground to slow down.
Acceleration - To figure out the force being acted upon a certain object you times the mass by the speed/acceleration. You can also figure out the net force when you have an unbalanced force by just figuring out how much bigger one of the forces are than the other e.g say the friction force is 2000 N and the push force is 3500 N there is a net force of 1500 N going forward and if the forces are balanced e.g 500 N for friction and 500 N for push there is No Net Force. Every force is measured in Newtons (N).
Action and Reaction - For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. This means that in every action there is a pair of forces acting upon on the to objects. The size of the force on the first object must be the same on the second object which is where they get the equal part from. When you sit down your body puts a force on the chair and the chair puts a force up towards your body which lets you stay still and means they are equal. The same as if you put a book on a table the table pushes a force up and the book pushes a force down.
3 Give a sports example of each law.
The Law Of Inertia - When swinging on a swing you stay in motion which is what the law of inertia is all about.
Acceleration - To find out how fast the rally car is going.
Action and Reaction - The two forces on both sides of a scrum must be equal to hold the scrum up.
30/3/17
1. Describe Newtons Law 1 - The Law of inertia is the first law and is about when something is in motion it will stay in motion unless an unbalance force acts upon it.
Example - When your still at the start of a sprint your in inertia cause your stopped cause your hands are still and when you remove your hands you over come inertia because your weight is falling forward.
2. Describe Newtons Law 2 - The law of acceleration is about when accelerating you enter a constant motion.
Example - When accelerating in motion you need to continue running past the finish line why slowing down so you don't injure yourself. to find force use the formula force=mass x acceleration.
3. Describe Newtons Law 3 - The third law is action and reaction and every action has a equal and opposite reaction.
Example - When the sprinter is pushing off the ground they will need to push down and back so you can go forward.

1. What mineral does the skeleton store and how- Calcium and inside the long bones e.g Humerus Femur
2.How does the skeleton provide movement- It provides a framework for the muscles to attach and when the muscles contract it moves the bones around the skeleton.
3. Why and how does the skeleton provide protection- Its provides protection of the organs so that the stay strong and healthy by using the bones around the skeleton to keep the organs in place.
4. What and how does the skeleton supply- They produce red blood cells from inside of the bones (Bone Marrow) of long bones e.g Humerus and Femur.
5. Two bones in the shoulder girdle- The Clavicle and Scapula.

Assessment Practice
This image is of an athlete running "Running involves flexion and extension of both the hip and knee.
When the extends and flexes it requires movement of the muscles in pairs. The pairs required are the gluteous maximus and hip flexors.
For hip extension the prime mover or the against muscle is the gluteous maximus. When this contracts the hip flexors stretch/relax this is known as the antagonist.
For hip flexion the opposite is true. The hip will be stretched or relaxed while the gluteous maximus is contracting out. This is known as agonist.
