speakers discuss success and olympics 2012

Chairman of the London Organising Committee

of the Olympic Games (LOCOG) and keynote speaker Lord Sebastian Coe has learnt more than a thing or two as a double Olympic champion and chairman of the successful Olympic bid.  In business, sport, and politics he values the importance of healthy competition, passion, and the need to surround himself with people smarter than he is.  As he says, “I work long hours and often have to make tough choices between work and family life, but so does everyone.  We’re all in this together and share a

vision that we understand.”  This level of teamwork and leadership is also emphasised by Olympic gold medal winner Sir Matthew Pinsent, whose coach Jurgen Grobler outlined the 5 key factors which could lead to his victory with Sir Steve Redgrave in the coxless pair and the 5 that could cost them the gold medal prior to the final in Athens – a medal which they went on to win.  Matthew highlights the point that people too often ignore problems and do not communicate honestly within a team which can leave gaping holes in any aim for victory, and just as Justin Hughes has expressed in his work with the Red Arrows, the need to debrief honestly and openly in an uncritical environment where your ego is left at the door is essential.  

Talent alone is also not enough and we may believe that such Olympians are extraordinary individuals whose achievements are far beyond us, when in fact they may be ordinary individuals who take extraordinary measures on their path to succeed.  Matthew Syed’s new book praised across the sporting world by talents from Mike Atherton to Jonathan Edwards describes in detail how and why champions ‘choke’ under pressure and critically, uses neuroscientific research to show how practice and preparation may be far more important than any perceived ‘innate’ talent.  Sir Clive Woodward who is Director of Elite Performance for the British Olympic Association emphasises that talent without huge levels of discipline will not achieve success, “It’s not only about skills.  It’s about attitude and the effect on the team.  One wrong player can sap all the energy from the group.”  As he says, “You can change the world in 4 years” and Clive can show you how.  

In his research Matthew also details the importance of motivation and desire – illustrated by Dame Tanni Grey-Thompson who used calls for her retirement to spur her on to train even harder and win 4 gold medals at the Sydney Paralympics – as well as the potency of beliefs, whether rational or otherwise.  Just like Muhammed Ali, gold-medal winning triple jumper Jonathan Edwards CBE credited his faith for his success despite having very different religious beliefs to Ali – the point was not the content of the belief but simply its potency.  Edwards who now sees himself as an atheist says, “looking back now I can see that faith was pivotal to my success…even if the belief is fallacious.”  

Current findings would therefore seem to suggest that whether in the world of sport or business, success and achievement may rely more heavily on practice and training than was initially thought, and not only training harder but more importantly training smarter – and in order to do this we need the right help.  Unfortunately the excuse that “I’m just no good at that” may be to some extent simply that, an excuse, when we realise that although we may initially find something very difficult, with the combination of long hours of practice – and critically the right trainin

yosemite hikes yosemite national park hiking overview

Yosemite National Park is our country’s most famed national treasure, rich in both history and beauty. It’s got dozens of matchless meadows and more than a hundred lakes, plus waterfalls as tall as a 200-story building, trees the size of rocket ships, mountains the size of – well, mountains – and even a few beaches. It’s bigger than a handful of European countries and almost the size of Rhode Island.

I

t also has more than 800 miles of trails, and you’re likely to expend lots of your Yosemite vacation wandering on them. Whether you prefer paved ways that never take you beyond shouting distance of a restaurant (a perfectly respectable approach) or remote paths where man has never before set foot (except perhaps to build the trail you’re on), you’ll find it here.

>>Know more information about Yosemite hikes and photos here<<

At 8.5 miles, the Panorama Trail in Yosemite is a en

thusiastic day hike. The National Park Service estimates a descent of 3,200 feet that takes six hours to complete. The trail is not all downhill. However, and hikers who attempt the Panorama Trail should be aware that it’s strenuous, specifically in winter when the route receives considerable snow. Late spring and early summer offer the best days for hiking the Panorama Trail: snow melted provides ample water sources along the trail and swells the rivers and waterfalls, which are at their peak at that time of a year.

The Panorama Trail starts with a series of downhill switchbacks. The Merced River and its two waterfalls, Vernal Falls and Nevada Falls, are shortly in view, and the more secluded but thundering Illilouette Falls becomes visible soon after. Half Dome is never out of sight, but it’s well-known face quickly disappears, giving way to views of the dome and saddle. Other noteworthy landmarks are Mount Starr King, Liberty Cap, and North Dome, which can be seen throughout the descent to Illilouette Creek. At the Panorama Trail 2-mile mark, a footbridge crosses Illilouette Creek, and hikers begin an 800-foot ascent over roughly 1.5 miles of switchbacks across the Panorama Cliffs.

Visitors to Yosemite National Park who wants to see more than just. What’s on the valley floor should plan to hike the Panorama Trail? This trail lives up to its name, and its unequalled views of Yosemite National Park landmarks will leave a lasting impression.

le mans series coming to algarve portugal on 18 july

Dabut Last Year:At their debut last year on the 4.652 kilometre circuit in Portimao not far from Portugal’s most beautiful beaches, Marc Lieb and Richard Lietz claimed pole position. “The handling of our 911 GT3 RSR was fantastic and we anticipate it to be the same this year. Our aim is to win, or at least retain our points’ lead,” says Richard Lietz about the race that runs well into the night. Marc Lieb, as the most successful driver in the Le Man

s Series with three GT2 titles to his credit, adds: “The circuit is extremely diverse. Aside from interesting roller-coaster passages there are several crests and blind corners. You have to be particularly cautious at night not to run into a bad surprise. Still, we all look forward to the darkness, because during the day the temperature reaches around 40 degrees Celsius.”

The results for 2009 race were:

1000 Km do Algarve Best Lap: Olivier PANIS/Nicolas LAPIERRE (COURAGE ORECA LC70-AIM n°

11) 1:32.376 –  186e lap

1000 Km do Algarve Pole Position: Nicolas LAPIERRE (COURAGE ORECA LC70-AIM  n°11) 1.31.020

Number of cars on the starting grid: 35

The ProSpeed Competition (Le Mans Series 2010 algarve live Stream) team contests just its third race in the Le Mans Series. The Belgian squad is keen to continue their upwards trend that yielded the first points at Spa-Francorchamps. At the wheel of the Prospeed 911 GT3 RSR are Porsche Junior Marco Holzer (Germany) and reigning FIA GT Champion Richard Westbrook (Great Britain). For the duo, Le Mans also brought some extra motivation: They finished their premiere at the famous long distance classic with a sensational third place.

The race in Portimao on 17 July will start at 17.00 hours local time (18.00 hours CEST). Television station Eurosport covers the final phase from 23.30 hours. Fans can follow the race via live-timing under www.lemans-series.com.

The Gatorade Sports Science Institution found that in 85 degree temperature with 4% humidity the average runner loses 2-4 pounds of sweat/hour.

rules for replenishing fluids while running

With all this sweating that goes on while exercising, how

can we make sure that we are replacing these fluids adequately? 

1. Don’t wait until you’re thirsty to replenish

Thirst isn’t always a good indicator of dehydration.  By the time you feel thirsty, you may already be low on fluids.  Signs of dehydration include thirst, increased heart rate, dark, golden colored urine, decreased body weight, and poor skin turgor.  A way to check skin turgor is to pinch the back of your hand.  When you let go the skin should bounce back into place with

in a couple of seconds.  If it takes more than 3 seconds to return to normal or you see the indentation from your fingers, you are dehydrated. 

2. The best bet to accomplish adequate hydration is to drink before, during, and after your run.  Let the duration, intensity, and climate conditions guide the amount. 

3. A problem that has been highlighted in recent years is over hydration (hyponatremia). 

In 2004 Runner’s World reported that 13% of runners in the Boston Marathon had hyponatremia.  The body’s need for fluid is unique.  If you get too little dehydration results, too much fluid and the blood salt level drops resulting in overhydration.  Signs of this are clear, dilute urine, bloating, a sloshing feeling in your stomach, weight gain, and more seriously brain swelling and seizures.

training to run like the pros

By week 3 you should be walk

ing 3 minutes and running 4 minutes, repeated 4 times.  You should be able to have an easier time with your runs by now, as you condition your body.  You’ll keep stepping it up, with the goal of running non-stop for 30 minutes at a time.  By week six, you’ll be walking for 2 minutes and running for 9 minutes.  
Training to run the right way takes time and patience, but is worth the payoff at the end when you reach your goal.  Your week 8 workout will be a warm-up of 5 minutes of walking f

ollowed by 20 minutes of running and a cool down of 5 minutes of walking.
Each week beyond that you will work towards decreasing your walk time and adding to your run time; eventually reaching 30 minutes of running.  It’s important to train your body to run to avoid injury.

There is clear evidence of a great many health benefits from running.  Physical ac

jogging benefits do you know how much it helps

Jogging benefits also include improved mental fitness, stronger immune system, improv

ed endurance, stronger bones, and prevention & treatment of diabetes.  It’s easy to see why so many people would choose running as their preferred form of exercise.  Because of the intense aerobic workout running provides, your heart will beat more strongly and efficiently, allowing more oxygen to get to your muscles and blood stream.  It’s important to work out the right way to gain maximum benefits and avoid injury.

When starting a running regimen, you should plan to run 3 to 5 days

per week to achieve optimum health.  You should also keep a close watch on your heart rate while running, and stay within 50 to 85 percent of your maximum heart rate.  As far as the length of the workout, it’s ideal to do 20 to 60 minutes of continuous or intermittent exercise.  If you’d like to enjoy the many jogging benefits, start a training program with the help of your physician and experience the benefits for yourself.

scoring points in college wrestling

The NCAA, better known as The National Collegiate Athletic Association governs the body for wrestling in college, and there is a separate association that governs the High School wrestling. The college style lasts for 7 minutes, that is the college style bout, and there is a three minute for the 1st set, which is

then followed up by a two 2 minute stage. The bouts that become tied at the end of the time, will then go into an overtime stage. Where as the high school match would be about six minutes, and three 2 minute stages.

The scoring procedures are as follows, there is four general scoring procedure for College style wrestling. The takedowns will be awarded when a wrestler brings the opposing player down towards the mat from a standing point. There are plus points when a wrestler will take the oppos

ition player straight to their back. A takedown will involve double legs, single legs, headlocks, high crotches, shrugs, body locks and a fireman’s carries.

The reversals will be scored to a wrestler that is in controlled of the opposition player that is on the mat, and makes a move that has the control by putting themselves on top of the opposition player. Which means reversing the player and situation. A reversal will include a switch, hip heists, and rolls.

In conclusion there are many ways to be rewarded a point in wrestling. They include the reversal, for switching a player on their back and a takedown that is given to the player who is able to take the opposition down to the ground from standing. There are different guidelines and rules given to High School and College Wrestling as the older the get more experience so the rules change. Wrestling involves a lot of strength and control, because you need to be able to hold and control your opposition in order to win.
