Quote of the week:
“If you set your goals ridiculously high and it’s a failure, you will fail above everyone else’s success.” – James Cameron
“You must see your goals clearly and specifically before you can set out for them. Hold them in your mind until they become second nature.” - Les Brown

Beyond Goals in 2010
It is that time of year…. New Year’s Resolutions. How about beginning the year 2010 with a different focus? Set the goal(s) and then focus beyond the goal – how will you feel when you accomplish this goal(s) - to keep you motivated to accomplishing them.
When setting goals:
• Set specific goal(s)
• Keep goals realistic, but challenging
• Make the goals measureable
• Set the goals with a timeline
• Have long-term and short-term goal(s)
• Record and evaluate goal(s)
• Imagine what it will look like, feel like, sound like, etc. when you accomplish the goal(s)
Write down your goals. Commit to them on paper and create that vision of the goals. Imagine how it will feel when the goals are accomplished – focusing beyond goal. Let that be your driving force to going for what you want in 2010.
After you have determined how it will feel, look like, etc. to reach your goal, then ask yourself what is the smallest next step that will take me in the direction I want to go?
Go for it. You can do it!! See it, believe it, achieve it.
More to come next week, stay tuned…….

Periodization - defined
Periodization helps strategize and coordinate how athletes approach practices and competition so peaking is optimized with goals in mind whether for a particular season or specific event.
Athletes can be good all the time… or great for short periods of time. Without a long range plan, critical training components are often missed and usually add years to peak development. Another benefit of Periodiztion is to reduce risk of over training and prevent injury.
Follow a training plan that includes components such as Cardiovascular Training, Resistance Training, Nutrition, Mental Training/Visualization will create the foundation and keep you on track. How and when these components are incorporated into a training plan effects development and optimal potential. This is what Periodization is all about. It is a flexible and personalized program to unleash maximum performance potential.
