Competition, Progress, and Rewards with High School Athletes

Competition

Competition is a good thing. You need to compete in training to test yourself physically and mentally.

I think it’s necessary for athletes to constantly train in a competitive environment.

25 Things from 25 Years

I had my 25^th birthday this past week. 25 sounds a lot older than 24. Knowing this, I had mixed feelings about it. I’m not big into my own birthday- meaning I don’t feel the need to celebrate it for a week, or even a month like some people (these people are attention hogs).  I got to thinking about my life. 30 is just around the corner and after that it’s a blur… or so I hear. Personally the last 5 years was a blur. So I decided to sit down and write a random list of things I’ve learned and observed about training and life. I left some stuff off, but some stuff on this list will most likely change, as I grow older. I sure hope the numbers at least get higher…
