  “To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream;          not only plan, but also believe.” - Anatole Franc “Whosoever Asserts Himself Has Will Power Whosoever Is Self-Sufficient Is Rich.” TIMELINE WORKOUT GOALS THE SYSTEM A system is a set of components to draw from and adapt as a way of accomplishing measurable goals through proven means to reach an expected outcome. To "assert" yourself is to go to the field or the gym alone, and perform your workout, without worrying how much anyone sees you sweat or hears you scream. You build "will power" by going against it when you don't feel like training, and train anyway. By "asserting" yourself time and time again, facing the same challenges in the discipline you've chosen,…

 “Whatever you are, be a good one." “Whosoever Conquers Others Has Force. Whosoever Conquers Himself Is Strong.”  SUITABILITY TEAM SOLO ACQUIRING FORCE AND STRENGTH “Whosoever conquers others” in sport, is the definition of competition. To rise victorious in games of skill, precision, timing and split-second decisions are what make up a great part of our world culture. It is war without death, achieving in the spirit of sportsmanship by holding your foe in gratitude and mutual admiration when the battle is done. Sports performance hinges on the training done off the field and the ability of the athlete to bring that training to the game. It means possessing the energy, endurance and strength required for extended durations of concentrated effort, determination and focus. This is the acquisition and ownership of…

          “We only learn our limits by going beyond them. “ “Whosoever Knows Others Is Clever Whosoever Knows Himself Is Wise.” ATTENTION EVALUATION REACTION FEEDBACK To know an opponent is often an exercise in futility. You can watch past performances, read statistics, watch them train in the gym or on the field, but you will never know all they have to offer. There will be that unknown piece of their makeup that can’t be visibly seen or measured by observation. You can’t gauge their passion, drive, desire or preparations. As hard as you may try to learn about an opponent, there will be a limit and a certain degree of mystery. The same holds true for that person knowing you. There is a depth to each one…

“One weakness can cripple you, whereas one strength won’t save you.” Tom Typinski “Whosoever Has Little Shall Receive: Whosoever Has Much, From Him Shall Be Taken Away” INTENTION VARIATION REPLICATION [amazon asin=B00NGQNP1Q&template=add to cart]   BE SPECIFIC “Whosoever has little” describes the new athlete, recreational exerciser, fitness enthusiast, or weekend athlete, who receives by seeking information and shortcuts to their goals. The more you can narrow down exactly what you want, the sooner and more directly you can move toward it. You move toward it with Specifics. To bring out an exact detail of a physique, you learn and apply the exercises that target that area, specifically, with priority attention and energy. To focus on an exact aspect of triathlon training, in one event over the other, you would focus…

“Things which matter most must never be at the mercy of things which matter least.” - Goethe “What Is Empty Shall Become Full. What Is Old Shall Become New.” SYNCHRONIZATION ALIGNMENT EXPLOSIVENESS FULL SPEED ”Empty” is the aspect of your training that, once filled, will take your body to new levels of performance. “Empty” is ignorance or complacency in what’s working and settling for mediocre performance, rather than seeking better methods to get more from your body with less effort. The emptiness is emptying your mind of expectations and letting the natural flow of speed occur. “What is empty shall become full” means, whatever is lacking in your ability to generate optimal speed is simply missing right now in one form or another of your training. One works on the…

“Be faithful to that which exists within yourself.” – Andre Gide Therefore, What Exists Serves For Possession. What Does Not Exist Serves For Effectiveness. LOAD DURATION INTENSITY STRENGTH STAYS WITH YOU AS LONG AS YOU STAY WITH IT “What exists serves for possession.” Strength, like knowledge, cannot be taken away. It may change in effectiveness when not practiced on a continual basis, but as long as regular attention is paid to it, strength stays, expands, sustains. A strong woman, a strong man, a strong child, or a strong senior has something immediately evident that the normal person lacks.  There is a pride to the carriage, an alertness to the demeanor, a gleam in the eyes, an assuredness no one else can claim or deny. This inner strength is almost like…
