NOW

Hello and welcome everyone...one week away from my next competition. Track and Field (5events) and pickleball. The butterflies began flying two weeks ago. Amazing to me how the intangibles play such a important role in our success. Some athletes will have thoughts "I hope I can get through this." That is not a winning thought. I think thoughts of winning. I see myself in each event. I "play" each event over and over again. I see myself winning. I begin to act and behave as though I am already there. First to the Finish Line...where winners and survivors always meet.

Have a meaningfull life everyone. Jimmy O

FINAL LEG

Hello and welcome everyone! The "back road" today. Every so often I like to get off those super highways and catch my breath. Today is one of those days...a day to appreciate our health. Each week I see 100's of people who can hardly get around... all ages. And getting around takes other's to help. Those of us without major health issues need to pay closer attention to those who have health issues...reaching out. We have a responsibility to continue moving forward and upward in our quest for fitness and a healthy life style. Just seems like the right thing to do. Now that I have caught my breath...next week, the final leg. When we can visualize our goal, visualize ourself as already being there, we begin to act and behave as though we are already there.

Have a meaningfull life everyone! Jimmy O

MIND GAME

Hello and welcome everyone. Three weeks to go before my next big meet. Being timed today...1st 10M, 1st 50M and last 50M in the 100M and the 200M. Focusing on my start and maintaining speed. Sprinters can maintain max speed for up to 3 seconds. My warmup will include 5 progressive 50 meters. I will be timed a total of 5X over the next 3 weeks. Now, the mental process begins...being aware of my technique, form and breathing. Going through each race in my mind is critical.

Have a meaningfull life everyone! Jimmy O
