FAST

Hello and welcome everyone! Summer in March? Yes...and we are off to
a fast start. No matter what sport...a fast start is everyone's dream...
the psyche. The race against time belongs to every sport and every
participant. That internal clock is key to the "game clock." Knowing
ourselves, out limits and our max. The last two minutes, or twenty seconds, or two seconds is critical in any competition. How you "close,"
will make the differance in how you finish. Most competitors tense or
"freeze up" in the "close portion" of the event. Relax...breathe and stay
within yourself.

Hello and welcome everyone! Training muscles is an easier task than
training the brain. We tend to delay or ignore completely the training
of our brain. Why? Perhaps because we can't see our brain in the mirror,
like we see the other muscles of our body. Select a word that you will use
to trigger the brain into action...causing your body to perform at a higher
level. Maxing out...beyond our self imposed limitations. Just when you
think you have reached your limits...say the word you have selected. The
brain will repond and the muscles will respond. Repeat this over and
over again. You will be amazed at the results.
Have a meaningful life everyone.

Peak MOMENT

Hello and welcome everyone! It's in the air...I can sense it...I can feel it!
What ever your sport...your event, it is time to put your "game face on."
Mental fitness is paramount now. Train your brain and only then can you
train your musules to execute when you need a "peak moment." Through
this process you create and achieve the "psychological moment." The
time when you are most apt to peak in that command moment. When you can
visualize yourself winning long before the finish line, you are already
there. First to the finish line where winners and survivors always meet.

Have a meaningfull life everyone!

NEVER EVER!

Hello and welcome everyone! I'm taking this opportunity to pay tribute
to some very special people. Each year since 2004 I began competing for
those who cannot...cancer survivors, care takers, the physically and
mentally challenged. My sponsors are a great support team for my cause.
So, to all of you having to deal with cancer or any other health issue, face
it square on...never, ever give in. I hear "healthy people" say things like
"I'm tired," "I don't feel like working out," or "the weather is bad." Talk
to someone who has terminal cancer...and look at yourself in the mirror.
Now what do you say? For me, it is not just competing for the gold, it's
about life and hope for my special people. One other thing...I'm a
prostate cancer survivor...March, 2004. I thought my life was over. I try
to motivate my "special group of people," they don't realize how much
they motivate me. A big shout out to all of you and thank you. Value life.

50 to 94

Hello and welcome everyone! Thanks to all of you who are responding to
my bloggs. Feels great to know people read and respond...it means we
share the same feelings on a particular subject. Let me aquaint you with
my "Balance Your Life" fitness class. Three basic keys make up the
foundation of achieving a high degree of functional balance. I stress
proper techniqe, posture and correct breathing. Over the past four years
over 1500 men and women have participated in the class. Most of the
participants are Seniors, ranging in age from 50 to 94. Women
outnumber men 10 to 1. This program is the same as I conduct for
people between the ages of 8 and 18 who want to develope a higher
degree of athletic skill. All the young kids come into camp thinking they
have balance. That is until they start the drills...oh, oh...they don't have
the functional balance they thought they possessed. The drills are
progressive in nature and can be modified "to fit" the participants ability.
A viewpoint...functional balance is the critical ingredient to attaining
"results expected" in any of our workouts and competitive events.

THIN LINE

Hello and welcome everyone! The line between results expected and
results achieved is known as the line of effectiveness. Most of us want
that line to be closer to results expected. The criteria for measuring is
critical. How we measure, why we measure is fundamental to the
achievement of anything worth while. For some, the stopwatch is the
only tool being used. That is not enough for enduring progress. Each
competitor needs to address the function of measuring and the criteria
used is an individual task. Move that "thin line" upward.

IMPACT

Hello and welcome everyone! IMPACT! That word has dwelled within me
for most of my adult life. Today, I will share with you the meaning of
that word for me. The impact you make in life is in direct proportion to
your own self image. Our behavior mirrors how we feel.
I is for image...self image. That's the who am I and what am I all about.
M is for maturity. How do I handle things in life. Do I accept responsibility or blame others.
P is for purpose in life...it's more than writing down our goals...it's a
passion.
A is for attitude. "I want to be the best of me most of the time."
C is for courage. Having the courage to stand up for what you believe in.
Leaders stand alone much of the time.
T is for touch...the human touch. We need more the just a pat on the
back...everyone should get a hug every day.
Impact should be a way of life.
