Five Questions Every Athlete Should Ask Themselves
Jonathan Conneely
Article and Audio Interview
How bad do you want to be a great athlete? So many people talk about it but very few actually do it. I once heard a quote that I will never forget and that I use on a weekly basis while working with athletes: "A great athlete does every day what a good athlete does occasionally." You see, a great athlete does whatever it takes on a daily basis, while a good athlete does it when it is convenient. A great athlete trains every day, while a good athlete trains when it's comfortable. A great athlete goes out of his or her way to eat right so that his or her body recovers faster, while a good athlete eats whenever and whatever is available. . . .

Training Youth "Old School"
Brett Klika
As the Chargers battle through a seemingly "uphill" season, the post game chatter on the wires is amuck with camparisons of the Chargers' new coach, Norv Turner, and the former Marty Schottenheimer. "Marty was an old-school guy, discipline, emotion, expectations, authority". I have to ask myself if I'm alone when I wonder "If those attributes are "old school", what does "new school" mean?" In my opinion, if my coaching style was described as any form of antitheses to these above attributes, I would consider it a significant slander. When did themes of respect, authority, hard work, discipline, honesty, accountability, and fundamentals get cataloged into "sport history" under the genre "old school"? . . . keep reading

This article delivers a 5 step program on how to take a look at the ceilings you may currently have created for yourself and how to smash through them to another level in both your physical preparation and martial skill. . . .
