The Busier You Get   February 22nd, 2010

Seems that the more we create things the more things pop up for us to do. There always seems to be an opportunity to improve your station in life if you keep moving and looking for opportunities.

If you saw my video this past weekend you heard that things are really ramping up around here. We’re busy redoing our old website and creating new ones.

I’m very excited about our new www.WomenStrengthTraining.com website. I know that there are many women, especially those over 40, who are looking for ways to stay healthy and live their best lives. This will be fun.

The kids at the grade school are doing great and I started shooting video this morning. Our next step is to keep gathering video and written data for this program with the intention to send some of this already proven program evidence to our politicians so they can stop wondering what to do and just do what’s already working for kids and fitness.

Here’s my latest opportunity and I can use your help if you are available tomorrow morning at 8:30 am CST.

I’m going to be the featured speaker on the Bicycle Nut Radio Show. You can listen in at the following location www.blogtalkradio.com/the-bicycle-nut If you’d like to do more than listen you can also be on the show.

I’m going to be talking about core strength and proper breathing as my main topics. If you would like to call in and give some feedback on any of my Combat Endurance Training programs for other listeners to hear about I would really appreciate it.

As always, having you give proof to show that what I talk about works is better than if I say it. It would be great if you could do this live radio testimonial. Here’s the phone # for you to call if you are interested 1-347-324-3835

My friend Jerry Goodwin is the host of the program and from what I understand he and I will talk about certain topics to help bike riders improve their riding between 8:30 and 9:10. At that time we will open up the phone lines to answer questions and to have you call in with your Combat Success Stories.

I hope you can make it to the call. If you don’t want to make the whole call then try to get in on the last 20 minutes. Your help would be appreciated.

Talk soon

What Practicing is Not   August 6th, 2008

My daughter Sammie has a horse and she rides in English riding competitions. She’s been doing it now for over 7 years and I must say she’s become quite a good rider. My son Kirk finished his senior year in high school and played on two state championship teams in football and basketball. Both kids practice so that they can do their absolute best in their chosen sport. As they practice they must remember that
Practice Is Not a Shot
You’re Already Good At

I’m proud of my kids for choosing to stick to something and wanting to be the best that they can be at it. Sammie practices her riding almost every day of the week and Kirk is either practicing shooting, weight lifting, or running every day also. It’s a pretty rigorous schedule. Sometimes they complain, but for the most part they see their commitment through and realize that it’s the only way to get to where they want to go.
During this practice time they will sharpen their skills. The most important and valuable sharpening of their skills will come from continually practicing the things that they are not as good at.
It’s easy and far more enjoyable to practice the things that we can do well. Yet it’s those things that we practice that we can not do so well that helps us develop the “Total Package.” It’s almost a guarantee that both of them will encounter the most challenging situation that’s unique to them at some time during their competitions. This particular challenging situation may never be the best part of their overall performance. At the same time, by practicing the thing that is the most challenging, they will have a better chance of dealing with it effectively when they do encounter it.

I wish them luck in their endeavors. I will encourage them to continue with their practice and tell them to imagine and expect great results because of the work that they have been willing to do.

Practice the things that need the practice,
