With season 2 sports drawn to a close, the time came for 3rd season track and field and the return of girls soccer.
For some of the seniors, 3rd trimester meant the last season representing their beloved school in sports as they shortly end their time as a Dalat eagle. Last week marked the first full week of practices for the varsity girls soccer team. With tryouts complete, the team of girls from 8th-12th grade began work at once, preparing for the upcoming ACSC tournament that will be held in Faith Academy, Manila. The schedule involves practices 4 days a week at either upper field, the field by Adventist, at the Soccer Experience nearby, or in Georgetown. Last Thursday, our Adventist session involved a pleasant visit from a herd of adorable cows.
Though many of the girls had come back from season 2 sports such as basketball and rugby, the 1st week of practice involved an abnormally large amount of conditioning to ensure that we were in peak shape. Much lap-running, sprinting, hopping, and even squats and ab exercises were newly implemented to the usual routine.
As we lay on our backs doing leg-lifts, our coach Uncle Keith assured us that “We’re going to be the fittest team out there!”
As weird as it may sound, this unprecedented level of exercise is the product of AI. Before the season had started, Uncle Keith had asked Chat GPT to develop a training program for a girls soccer team in preparation for an upcoming tournament. Consequently, our practices are now enhanced with the various ideas the AI has fed our coach.
In the words of Sophia Coker (12), “Uncle Keith’s gonna work us to death with his ChatGPT!”
Time will tell if the AI clearly knew what it was talking about. As for now, the team continues to train hard and improve as they get ready for the big tournament in Manila.
