Lessons from 2012 – Part One

Being
ready to deliver on the day
– The ability to have your athletes ready to perform
at their best at the required time is most important. That can be the final of
the Olympic games or a high school state championship. Everything is directed
to this goal.

Coaching
is a careful blend of art and science
– No more explanation is necessary

Emotional
intelligence is the key to effective coaching
– It is all about people and how we
as coaches grow and develop ourselves and the people we work with.

An
overemphasis on injury prevention will lead to injuries
– Good injury
prevention is a transparent part of a sound training program. What is happening
today is an emphasis on so-called corrective exercise and special injury
prevention exercises that normal training is being ignored. When training is
ignored then the athlete is predisposed to injury because they are not ready
to perform.

The ability
to race is different than the ability to be paced to a fast time
– Anyone with
ability can hang on and be pulled to fast time the medals are won by those who
can race. Those who are race hardened, who understand tactics and are fully
adaptable to variety of race situations.

It is imperative
to develop and refine physical literacy in parallel with skill development
– Physical
literacy slightly leads skill and technical development; it is impossible to
have one without the other.

We must
take a giant step back and look at what we are doing with recovery
– I think
we need to learn to use recovery methods more judiciously. Not necessary to ice
bath after every workout. We need to understand that the inflammatory cascade
is part of the adaptation process. Must educate the body to take advantage of
this not interfere with this all the time.

Little
things count
– Big things are a given, they are hard to overlook but it is the
little things that quickly add up.

Coaching
men and women is different. “Men battle to bond. Women bond to battle.” Nigel
Redman
– I think this is pretty self-explanatory.

  1. Why ‘The Radical Peak Performance?’ –
    We seldom live our lives in our highest potential format and hence there is an obvious high scope for improvement, though this improvement can come if we unleash our potentials.
    This seminar aimed at identifying patterns of restrictive beliefs that govern our lives and aimed at eliminating the negative influences of the past in order to make a fresh beginning.
    The workshop also helped participants identify their own potentials in turn soaring their self confidence and esteem. Participants also learnt to use powerful tools to transform their lives and the lives of people around them. Participants transformed and bent rods with their neck and walked on 1000 degrees + of heat in the FIRE WALK activity!!! The workshop goes beyond a feel good factor empowering people to use powerful tools after this breakthrough experience.
    The workshop helps participants excel in their professional life and change their outlook towards their life in totality. Powerful trigger based emails and creative followups would ensure participants bring about a shift in their Lives and operate out of peak performance in all areas of Life.
