HOW MUCH IS ENOUGH???
Welcome everyone...Forgive me for getting personal today. I am safe to say that each one of us has sloughed off in a training/workout session and yes, even a competitive event. That move is shameful... it all begins w/our workouts. When we don't trust our body and mental capacity...you are in "deep dodo." In 2004 I began competing in the Senior Olympics, Senior Games, Masters, State Games and qualified five X for the Nationals. Sports...Track & Field, Tennis, Racquetball, Pickleball and Martial Arts. I train 2 hours each day, 6 days a week w/5 hours devoted to T&F. 48 weeks, 240 hours, 14400 min. I have to prove myself in seconds. 50M, under 8 sec., 100M, under 12.5 sec., 200M, under 32 sec. You might say, "that's over load." Could I have worked less? I don't know that. I have won gold in all 5 events...add long jump and high jump. Competing in the 67-75 are class. And I never know what the competition is going to do. Before each event I visualize myself winning. I feel the rush/thrill. How much is enough...everything you've got and then some. Rather overwork than underwork. Jimmy O

ADDICT
Hello and welcome everyone! This will be an attempt to define and asses
addiction as it relates sports and mental fitness. After my own experience
and interviewing several athletes and non athletes I have arrived at the
following conclusion. Addiction is the pursuit of or giving way to a
certain lifestyle. Let me apply this to sports, competitive events or training and working out. When we start "slacking off," we either put
into play denial or our mental toughness. From the very first time we
have to make that choice, we come to a life defining moment...a life
changing moment. When it becomes more comfortable to slack than
to pursue our goals, we are on a slippery slope. Our mental toughness
drives the physical. Achievement of any worthy goal requires Passion.
Having a Passion is more than writing down goals. With passion, you
begin to see yourself as already being there. You begin to act and behave
as though you were already there.
Have a meaningfull life everyone! Jimmy O
