Life in the OFF Season Speaker Series

ANNOUNCEMENT:

From the feedback we received from competitors, it seems a good chunk (about 10 or so) are not done competing this fall!!

With upcoming shows like ABBA, WBFF, INBF and IDFA, the preference seems to be to have a workshop in a month or so, when they are in the right headspace to attend. ie, ready for off-season.

With more shows to do some are more focused as ever, and we respect that.

Having said that, we will postpone the workshop until late OCT or early NOV to capture the necessary audience. If you are done competing for the fall and would like to discuss important topics to assist in transition to off-season, please contact us TOOT SWEET!

We will announce a new date in the next few days!

I've received some emails regarding upcoming workshops for the fall shows...

Initial plan is to present the workshop in 2 parts... PART 1 will be strategically dated 6-8 weeks PRIOR to competition (August), to give competitors an understanding of the emotional and psychological preparations required prior to competition (will cover, but not limited to : stress management, competition anxiety, sportsmanship, pressure, relationships, discipline... and more). This workshop would be very appropriate for new competitors and will have sport psychology experts presenting/available for questions. Expert has tremendous amount of experience with amateur (Olympians) and Professional (NHL, CFL) athletes.

Part 2 will be hosted approx 1-2 weeks AFTER competition (subject to presenter availability), to address : appropriate weight gain, food relationships, balance between training and 'life', new goals, and more!... Expert presenter deals predominately with professional athletes dealing with weight control, eating for performance vs aesthetics, body dismorphia, and depression.

please watch my website www.stephmarques.com for updates as well as FB marketing.

Workshops will be priced as a package (part 1 + 2) and/or as individual registration.

Competitors! if you are feeling something like the anonymos quote below... please please register for the upcoming workshop. We will talk EXACTLY about some the emotions that you may be going through .They are NORMAL and REAL, lets continue supporting each other to promote happy, healthy, balanced lives!

email to [email protected] for registration.

"I'm struggling with figuring out what my purpose is? Feel unmotivated...workouts are just mediocre, feeling softer with each new day and still struggling with diet. Feel like life is back to normal now...which I thought I would love but I'm feeling a bit lost" - athlete fresh off the stage

unsure about the "high performance relationship" workshop? check out these stats:

Most men can relate to statistics especially if they're sports buffs. Here are a few that should open at least a few eyes.

Men who live inside a happy long lasting relationship will live 10 years longer, on average, than men who don't. Women will live 4 years longer on average.
Ailments such as heart disease could be caused or reversed by lifestyle and by having positive, loving relationships in your life.

Women are attracted to men who are willing to invest in growing their relationship. Similarly, women have more or***ms with men they are attracted to. Go figure!

and on the scarier side:
There is about a 40 -50% chance a marriage will fail and about an 85% chance that the wife will be the instigator.

One of the top reasons given in a marriage that is struggling is "My partner is sometimes too stubborn" - 87% of unhappy married people agreed with this statement.

And here's quote or two that may raise an eyebrow:
"S*x is like air: It's not important unless you aren't getting any."

"The problem of "going to sleep" is endemic to long-term relationships. Couples have to put a lot of attention into keeping things fresh and alive." ~ Gay Hendricks - relationship expert and mentor.
