Competitive Practice/7th in series of 13

Welcome everyone...competitive practice is a major part of my training. I didn't want to just compete, I wanted to win and set new records in track and field. I competed in T&F, tennis, racquetball, pickleball, softball, basketball, flag football and martial arts. My quest began when I sold my business at age 65. I went back to college for my personal/athletic trainer certification. I trained/competed against college students year around for 3 years. I held my own in every sport and that's what I needed. My vertical leap was 421/2 inc. It's on youTube and www.secondwindfitnessfilm.com. I set records in Senior Olympics. State Games and Masters. I developed an edge over anyone in my age group. Fitness Class in College...most all the young guys could do 25 pushups and 15/20 sit ups in one minute. I did 104 pushups and 85 sit ups...the correct way. Also one of the college coaches also tutored me, I awe him a lot of credit. It comes down to how serious are you. Compete at some level periodically. You owe it to yourself. See you at the Finish Line.

EVENT Training///6th in series of 13

Welcome back everyone...event training is and should be different than the off season. Whether your event is once a year, once a month or more...spacing and timing is crucial. What time a day is your event(s). Gear your training to that time. Reaching your peak
mentally and physically at the event is a must. Write down your drills with proper spacing and stick to it. Don't keep adding stuff. Don't over train. All your Grunt Work should have been done before your event training. Let's assume your event training begins 3/4 weeks before the event. Double your warm up and cool down time. Add 1/3 liquid intake. Keep your diet the same. The mental: picture in your mind what you are going to do and how you are going to do it...act as though you were already there.

TRIGGER/ 5th in series of 13

Welcome Everyone...just as we value the alignment of the stars and planetary galaxy, emphasis on our alignment and balance of the brain signals,  nerves, muscular system that responds to our trigger
points on demand. Every competitor/winner/survivor utilizes one or more "triggers" during a specific event. When I need a "mental alert" my trigger is the word NOW. I have trained my brain to give me that extra RUSH...energy. I need to close out and finish strong. After saying that word, I don't even feel tired. Now...has been my trigger for years. It works!
