Talent

Now matter how talented you are. Your talent is going to fail you if you are not skilled.  If you don't study, work hard, and dedicate yourself to be better every single day you will never realize your true potential.....and that would be a shame.

Lombardi: On Sacrifice/Success

Hello Everyone,
Every once in a while I like to share with you all Vince Lombardi's philosophy on life and sports and how they both relate.  I feel that all of us athletes, parents, and coaches can really learn how Lombardi influenced so many people, especially his players.  He's is a true leader and remains legendary in our American history.  Here is his philosophy on success/sacrifice.

Success/Sacrifice

"Football is a great deal like life in that it teaches work, sacrifice, perseverance, competitive drive, selflessness and respect for authority is the price that each and every one of us must pay to achieve any goal that is worthwhile.  To achieve success, whatever the job we have, we must pay a price.
Success is like anything worthwhile.  It has a price.  You have to pay the price to win and you have to pay the price to get to the point where success is possible.  Most important you must pay the price to stay there.
Once you agree upon the price you and your family must pay for success, it enables you to ignore the minor hurts, the opponents pressure, and the temporary failures.  A person can be as great as he/she wants to be.  If you believe in yourself and have the courage, determination, the dedication, the competitive drive, and if you are willing to sacrifice the little things in life and pay the price for the things that are worthwhile, it can be done."

Summer Training

Good Luck to all Fast Lane Sports Performance (FLSP) athletes that worked so trained so hard this summer and now are back in school and playing their sport.  Now its time to turn your hard work into performance.

Teamwork

"The achievements of an organization are the results of the combined effort of each individual.  People who work together will win, whether it be against complex football defenses, or the problems of modern society.  Individual commitment to a group effort is what makes a team work, a company work, a society work, a civilization work." - Vince Lombardi

Strength Endurance Phase 1.

Strength Endurance workouts for 400 meter sprinters are great for early season early and phase 1 training.  These types of workouts include hill work, stadium steps, resistance running or treadmill high incline runs.  Strength Endurance workouts involves activities that will last longer than 10 seconds in duration. Here are some examples of Strength Endurance Workouts:

a. 6x150 meter hill runs.  These are to be done will full recovery between each rep.  A 150 meter walk down hill to the start would be sufficient for recovery.

b. 6x60 stadium steps.  A great workout because an athlete can get good footwork with this type of running too.  Again, full recovery with a walk back down the steps.

c. 6-8 very light resistance running for 60-80 meters.  The best would be parachute running with a 2-3 minute full recovery.

One quick note when doing hill running.  Make sure you choose a hill that has a gradual incline.  Hill that may be too steep will result to breaking down on sprint form and shortening of stride.  You want to make sure that proper sprint mechanics are in place when running hills.
