U24's, This bird has flown

Kea.

Has been and will always be a big part of my life. The growth I've experience through personal identity development and maturing as an ultimate player has hugely influential to me today. The two campaign build-ups and adventures on the other side of the globe, first across America, road tripping through states Minnesota, Wisconsin and Ohio on route to Toronto. Growing from this experience I would travel to London two years following, to rendezvous with newly-found family and build immediate strong bonds, these links to carry through many years from now as I travel and discover more about myself. The tournament itself was unforgettable, a perfect scene to tackle the other nations, with a rollercoaster ride through universe points, chippy games, awesome spirit and mutual respect culminating in an epic finale against Germany.

Thursday entry, Hapkido

Emotions: Confident (skills as a trainer), engaged (with new challenges, hapkido), comfortable (working with team in studio), satisfied (with daily challenges as a trainer, run club, motivated clients) Wednesday was a great day for me, came back to train some afternoon clients (Jaz) who had a great sessions with deadlifts. Tried Hapkido which have been meaning to do for ages, was good fun and learned heaps, great atmosphere to train in. Looking forward to next Wednesday (albeit late). Considering AGM tomorrow, or heading out to Piha Friday night. Need to bike into work tomorrow to make it work. AGM should be good fun, have a few drinks after with the club members which don't get to do too often, make most of it. Head out to piha early Saturday, looks like ideal plan. Work-ons: Knowing and keeping track of what kind of program being followed, beginner, superset, dropset,  how hard I need to push, and what kind of verbal cues I will provide throughout. Example: Jasmine need ...

Monday post, Bounce

Monday Emotions: Fully energised and engaged, satisfied (Connection with ultimate friends), refreshed Physical: Injury to knee going backwards, pain threshold after playing back up to 3-4/10, from 0-1/10. Sleep: Getting back into a good sleep routine over the weekend, and getting multiple nights in a row, Friday 8, Saturday 9.5, and Sunday 8.5 was the formula for an good recovery and bounce, improvement and growth, mentally responding to challenges from last week well. This response is something I feel I have not done as well over the week before. If I'm pushing myself in condition grey from Monday to Saturday, occaisionaly slipping into black in short periods, I need to get plenty of sleep in, at right timing.  Nutrition: Getting in more frequent lower GI meals this week has helped heaps, especially the oats, avoiding cravings and feeling hungry after workouts etc. More sources of protein, beans, eggs, chicken etc.  Physio? Pros and cons Physio seems...

Don't mind the mind

Tuesday 30th May: Emotions: Calm, relaxed, focused Been thinking about overthinking lately. The more I learn I realise its better to not try and control negative thoughts, a good technique is to just observe and be aware. A higher kind of awareness doesn't follow negative thoughts down dark passages, but just legs them crash harmlessly like waves against rock. Today I have been letting go of the sense of urgency lingering in my mind the last few days, that I need to try harder and push more toward finding more work opportunity, keep moving forward. Friday 3rd June: Right here, right now. This is all I will ever be, the best I can be. Recovery running. Awesome feeling, great friday night activity. Need to keep more variation in my training schedule to let body recover and adapt properly. If I'm too tired to do hill sprints, strength session, go for a recovery run! Making concious decisions to do whats best for me, even though I don't want to sometimes. Sitting on inte...
