ARE THERE JUST WINNERS AND LOSERS?

In sports, as in life, "good" can be the enemy of "great." In professional sports, it is pretty easy to identify the success and failures of any particular team or player by checking the box score, reading the stats and looking at the final score. Basketball Hall of Famer Larry Bird once said, "I hate to lose more than I like to win." Why is that? That is because there is a lot at stake for a pro athlete being on the right side of the final score. Championships, player contracts, and endorsement deals are based upon an athlete being a winner on the field of play in some capacity. So while it may be true that there are just winners and losers at the highest level of sports, when it comes to youth sports, look beyond the final outcome on the field because it's not as black and white.

That is what my mentor, sports psychologist Dr. Rob Gilbert, and myself will speak with you about this month. In youth sports, you don't have winners and losers...you have winners and learners. Don't take the outcome as a loss if you are not victorious, take it as a lesson. The winning team is really providing the learners feedback. Maybe it is to hit the cut-off man or make an extra pass in a certain situation. Maybe it is to put more effort on the defensive end. Whatever the case may be, take the opportunity to learn from your mistakes. If an athlete, team or even a coach does these things, they truly have won.

SKIPPING


[Click here to play Video]

Sometimes you have to bring it back to basics if you want to take your performance up a level. That is why we are going to circle back for our training tip this month and focus on a fundamental movement such as skipping. We have done some different variations on skipping in past newsletters by having our hands on our hips or pumping the arms. This month, we are going to take the arms out of the equation and put them behind our back. This will allow us to focus on the basic skip. By doing so, we are focusing the drill on our thoracic cage or the mid-section of our spine.

TRAIN THE GLUTEAL MUSCLES TO FIRE MORE EFFECTIVELY
Research has shown that the level of neural connectivity and the ability to fire the gluteal muscles is minimal, compared to the firing ability of other muscle groups in the body. The term "Gluteal Amnesia," has been used by Dr. Stuart McGill, a world renowned Ph.D. in Biomechanics. Excessive gluteal muscle atrophy is common in many older adults. As we age and become more sedentary, most people are not routinely thinking about or training to fire their gluteals. Poor gluteal activation can lead to hamstring and lower back injury.
