Mental Preparation: Keeping Your Head In The Game
“Mental toughness is to physical as four is to one.”
- Bobby Knight
It’s that nervous feeling in your stomach before a game.
It’s the flutter of your heart before a meet.
It’s that fear that’s trying to overcome you as you lace up your cleats.
What I’m talking about is your body’s response to the stress of competition. It’s described in most physiology books as the sympathetic nervous system response (or fight or flight). Our bodies developed this response very early in our development as humans. Basically, when confronted with a saber toothed tiger, we had two options: stand and fight (fight) or run away (flight). Either way, that caveman will need to flip his lid and do something to survive. His body is making sure he has the proper physiological environment to do so. Like I’ve said before, Psychology always trumps Physiology.

Five Things You’re Doing (or not doing) That Are Keeping You From Getting Results
I’d say probably 99.9% of people aren’t really happy with the way they look or perform. So what’s the answer? They go join the gym and/or start diet “x”. So yes, It’s great that they see something wrong and are trying to do something about it. But, if they start and don’t see any results, they’ll leave discouraged and not come back. We don’t want that. So, here are a few of the things that are keeping you from getting the results that you want.
Not changing their diet.
I hear it all the time. “I eat healthy. Why can’t I lose weight?” This is usually when I ask them what their version of healthy is. At this point, I usually find out that their diet resembles dog poo. The old saying is that you can’t out train a bad diet, and that is absolutely true. If weight-loss is your goal, diet has to be the number one priority.

3/11 and 3/12/2012 Strongman and Bench – Jason Nunn
Sunday’s Strongman Event Training
Axle Clean and Press
300 x 6 – clean once
300 x 1 – had a bunch of misses in there as well. Need to get more consistent with these
Yoke walk x 50ft
worked up to 810
Yoke Walk/Keg carry medley
850 x 50/250 x 50/250 x 50
Stones
Did 310 x 2 – then felt a really bad knot in my subscapular region. That’s the best I can explain it anyways. Shut it down there.
Monday
I’m really sore from my workout yesterday, so I just did bench as it was the only thing that didn’t feel like ass.
275 x 5
315 x 5
360 x 7 – felt pretty good about this.
3/8/2012 Week’s Summary
Highlights for the week
Squat 605 x 1 – about 50lbs off my PR, but with healthy knees and back, the weights should shoot up from here
Bench 425 x 1
Deadlift 655 x 1 about 100lbs off my PR. Felt like dog doo doo. I think my legs are having a hard time handling the extra conditioning I’m throwing at them. This should normalize within the next month. Then, it’ll be huge weights again.
Press 265 x 1 felt like I had more, so I went for 300 and missed. Next time.

Basic Nutrition For Athletes
I’m going to preface this post by mentioning that I am NOT a registered dietitian. If you have health conditions, you should consult with your doctor before making any changes to your diet.
“What should I eat?” or “What should my kids eat?” are probably the two most frequent questions hear from my parents and athletes. So, I figured I would go ahead and write a little something to give you some guidelines to follow.
First, let’s get a bit of background info in what Calories, Proteins, Carbohydrates, and Fats are.
Protein
Protein is basically the building blocks of muscle and other tissue in the body. Good sources of protein are chicken breasts, fish, turkey, and lean beef. Try to eat the least processed meat possible. You should be able to tell where the meat come from on an animal. For example, I know where the breast is on a chicken. I have no idea where a hot dog or bologna came from.
