Lifting weights is not going to make you faster or more efficient. Practicing the skill, learning the mechanics and putting the movements together. Lifting free weights or machine weights are a supplement for doing sport activities. I prefer bounding and plyometrics, body weight used in an explosive more reactive manner. They provide more resistance and athletics movements for the person. Being able to squat a lot of weight does not mean you will get faster, being able to put a sequence of movements and muscles together with timing is how you run faster.

I started a page after I retired from coaching. I have used the page to post articles and pictures about the sport and about what I continue to do in private training. I never have posted anything personal about my life or about where I am going or what I am doing in my personal life. I have used this page as a way of sharing information about the sport I love. The things I post are very sound, they come from authorities in the field worldwide, I have studied, researched, and used personally things that work. My life has changed since retirement, I have a lot more time to contemplated think about my life and where to go from here. I got into coaching Cross Country and Track and Field because they are the most basic and fundamental sport ever, older than Jesus. I understand the sport is very much about the science, but I consider running and other events to be an art. I have always enjoyed watching the human body as well as horses and other animals run and move. I am saying all of this because I plan on continuing posting articles and pictures about the sport I love and articles that also benefit other sports. I plan on adding to my post meditations, quotes, personal beliefs and ideas, emotions, and feelings that I have discovered through my journey and transformation. I have never considered myself to be a religious person, but I do consider myself to be spiritual and a seeker of my soul purpose. For me the love of the sport that I coached for over 40 years and my soul purpose go hand in hand.
