Set a goal and go after it.
It doesn't have to be life changing just little steps to change your life, see having smaller goals allows you to be proud of each single element of progression, instead of aiming for this huge jump that will take you weeks maybe even months to accomplish that may ultimately burn you out due to the lack of reaching your goal.

Focus on smaller breakdowns of that overall target and aim to reach those smaller steps instead.

Let your brain thrive off the little improvements as the end of the day an accomplishment is still an accomplishment.

Saturday was a great day to test my fitness two games back to back in 23°c heat

First was Ashford HC 2s Vs Canterbury 5s
Tough match notes I took from the game was need to believe more in myself.
Found a few times in the game I tried to play too safe instead of making a impact in the game. (Photos 1-3)

Second game was 4s Vs marden 3s
I stepped up my confidence got really stuck in the game but should have taken the shot instead of looking for the pass as was able to beat the oppositions defense a few times.
(Photos 4-5)

Notes for the week believe in your abilities and skills and to not focus on mistakes but to learn from them and make sure the next game is better.

Pressure is essentially in the mind of the beholder, ultimately it is the interpretation an athlete has of their situation see the mind plays tricks on us out of fear or embassament in stressful situation so then the athletes normal response goes into cruise control or full shut down in a competition or a matchday.
pressure is basically all in your head, your mind creates anxiety when under stress, learn to view pressure as an opportunity to challenge yourself and overcome it using both your physical and mental skills.

All the above is why preparation is key to overcoming this pressure, preparation prepares the mind to stay focused and to embrace the moment and show them what youve got.

Here's my top 5 tips to overcoming pressure and to prepare yourself.

• Embrace the moment

• Breathe (put some music on pre comp/match to help you breathe

• Focus on your game (don't over think remember what youve practiced)

• Visualise/self positive talk (remember you belong and that you love what you do)

• Stay confident and focus on only what you can control. ( you can't control everything but you can control how you respond)

Remember you do this as you love what you do, not every competition or match will be perfect don't aim for perfection aim to put in 110% on the feild.

It's a common misconception that we don't have enough time to make our dreams happen.

We seem to believe we don't have enough time to focus on ourselves but yet will still look in the mirror and say I wish I could look better in my outfit and even some people compromise our outfit to make us feel better about ourselves to what we know is being masked.

I used to wear this mask to my body shape as I was too skinny and even used to wear hoodies on hot days just to pad myself up, but time is only the enemy if you make it.

The average workout is between 30- 45 mins that's only 4% of your day to make the changes you desire so badly. This can be done in the gym before work or even before you get home after work this would not only allow you to wind down and spend some time to self focus but also not going home prior to the gym will decrease the chances for your mind to take over and create excuses that ultimately lead to you not following your plan.

To succeed you need to stay committed, focused and willing to even work through the days when you really can't be asked for self improvement to truly test us to say
"No I'm going even if I'm not feeling it, I'm going to turn. Up and make it happen!!"

Learn to enjoy these up and down moments as overtime it will get easier as you see the results in the mirror staring back at you, while your Inner self cheering away at every milestone reached.

If you need any support or help with time management feel free to pop me a message on Instagram or Facebook.
I'm always happy to give advice and guidance as needed.

Thank you for spending the time to read this hope this helps.

Why do you workout? What's the spark you to get up and get in shape?

Mine is my son oscar, at 29 years old I'm starting to feel the effects of my age but that's not my sign to stop as it's "harder", it's actually my sign that I needed to push myself a bit further.

I'll be the first to admit the last few weeks I've neglected my training, no excuses no reason should have stopped me except life just giving me a kick in the crown jewels, but now I've realised, now it's my time to get back up again not for me but my son, see he needs his dad to keep up with him whether that's playing football or hockey or daily activities and help him grow and develop and to protect him.

So I have a plan to really push myself once more to continue to be that active dad that my son loves.

As a personal trainer I get how we can all seem intimidating and like we are going to drill sergeant you through each exercise, but myself for one understands that life can get in the way and that sometimes we need a plan that week can stick to that works around your life.

I understand the morning thoughts before a session when you feel sluggish and feel like I can really be asked, but that's where I step into encouraging you to just push through this session and I promise after your be glad the session is finished but ultimately proud of yourself for pushing through.

Even before stepping into a session you can suffer with anxiety worrying about others, but with that I'd guide you through and make you feel comfortable and ready to smash your session.

It's you Vs you the end of the day but with a little help from a personal trainer you can make it YOU PROUD OF YOU.

I think we can all agree Burpees are the worst. But they aren't for everyone especially anyone with a limited range of motion in the hip joint or with different back problems.

I have to admit I love Burpees but I know most people would take a hard pass so I have a few alternatives to the dreaded Burpees.

• Plank or plank jacks.
• Squats or squat jumps.
• Squat thrusters.
• Hand release push-ups.
• Sprawls.
• Jumping jacks
• Kettlebell swings.
• Caterpillar walk and plank jack.

But why do we encourage burpees?
Because burpees double as cardio and strength training, the exercise is a go to choice for anyone who wants to burn calories and fat. In just one minute, you might be able to burn upwards of 15 calories. Over time, this will mean helping you lose fat. The burpee provides practically a full body workout.

so will you be adding Burpees to your workout plans? Or maybe your take a hard pass and add in an alternative?

There are many barriers that can affect an athlete, these can normally be one of two types from mental or physical barriers or as say mindset and preparation barriers.

When it comes to a mindset barrier this is a factor that is most common in all levels and experience. Typically though, athletes encounter mindset barriers to their performance and suffer with anxiety during matches, this lack of confidence in their own ability can result in mistakes being made due to the nerves or even making rash decisions in a attempt to prove to themselves that they are a "good player", this have positive impact if the attempt was successful but also can have a downward spiral if unsuccessful.

When it comes to performance anxiety the best way I find helps me is prepare mentally by putting on some upbeat music and think about the game and what your role in the team is and how you can impact the game in that role. Allowing yourself to focus and center your mind will lead to feeling more confident when it comes to game time.

Preparation barriers normally come from time management or even over confidence believing that they don't need to improve or simply use the excuse of I'll do it tomorrow,
Whether that is a workout in the gym or at home but can also be not turning up to team training. Repetition and consistency are the key elements to improving as an athlete in any discipline in sport or competition.

Any serious athlete at any level will tell you it's as much about the mental preparation as it is physical so always remember to take the time to prepare and train, no matter your experience or level you compete at everyone can always make improvements towards perfecting part of your game performance.

So Thursday I've been working with a group of players from Newcastle hockey club where we have been working on movement and agility at the local park.

Every athlete needs to focus on body control and movements as to be honest it's not as fun. So people generally tend to ignore the off the ball movements and control. This isn't down to being lazy it's down to players who genuinely don't realise that their body can be pushed more and more out of it's comfort zone.

The body naturally adapts to "comfortable versions of a stance or body shape" when it comes to attempting a set of movements.

So with our sessions I've been focusing on quick movements, i.e pace changes, acceleration training and the minor foot work to help the group prepare for the season ahead.

Key points Working on agility enhances reaction time, Athletes who work to improve their agility also see improvements in their overall athletic abilities, including in critical areas such as balance and stability, coordination, body control, cognition, and recovery time.

Another hard session with Keith again today, but did I he complain? Nope
Did he say I'm cruel with this circuit? Yep
