For those who don't know me, my name is Moo Voon Hoe and I recently turned 22. I was born and raised in Subang Jaya, Malaysia and I'm currently living in the Indiana, PA. I recently completed my Bachelor's Degree in Psychology this past May. The title of this blog, Eat - Lift - Ball, is literally the top three things that changed my life for the better and they are what my life revolves around. As some of you may know, I was a fat kid who got hooked on basketball. With basketball, I had a medium of exercise that I never had before apart from thumb exercises on the Playstation controller. I then thought of ways to improve my game. In came weightlifting and eating well. It has been 6 years since I started basketball and with that comes 6 years of researching, testing, and developing workouts, exercises, and diets.
With all that I know from research and experience, comes the reason I am writing this blog - to educate, teach, and share my knowledge on the topics I know best: healthy eating, weightlifting, and the game of basketball. I may not be an expert on any of these things. I'm not a personal trainer, nor am I a certified basketball coach. What I am, is someone who went from seating on my rear end to busting it every workout. What I'll be writing on this blog will be from my own experiences with hopes that there are people out there who can benefit from them.
As I've mentioned earlier, this blog is to educate people on what I know best. Why? Simply because I enjoy teaching. A few years back while putting up some shots after playing pick up basketball at my local park, there were two kids who joined me. From the way they were shooting, I could tell that they had no idea what they were doing. They were missing shots left and right while mine were going in most of the time. I then told them, "you guys aren't shooting the right way," and proceeded to teach them them proper way of shooting a basketball (which I now realize isn't really right - more on this in another post). After a few tweaks and adjustments to their shots, they finally managed to put the ball into the basket. The smiles on their faces when they made the shots was joyous. Contagious even. They then thanked me with a grateful, "thank you kor kor (big brother)." Their smiles and thanks in turn, made me learn something about myself. It showed me how much I enjoyed sharing my knowledge to others. With that, it also showed me that you can still learn something when you teach. Therefore, with sharing what I know to you guys, I know I am able to learn just as much, if not more.
Thus, I'll be writing about various topics revolving around the three subjects this blog is named after. If there's a specific topic you'd like me share what I know and think of it, feel free to leave a comment or send me a tweet/Facebook message.
