  • The Path To Self Growth
    By: Ian Henderson | - The late great Jim Rohn once defined success as doing a few simple disciplines day in and day out. For him it was not the size of the action that you took, but its on-going and committed nature. The bridge between having a goal and its achievement is the practice of simple disciplines. Several writers, notably Darren Hardy (The Compound Effect) and Jeff Olson (The Slight Edge), have picked up on Rohn's teaching.

    I have linked their work to that of W. Edwards Deming's philosophy of K ...

  • What Depression Does To Your Performance
    By: 30 | - It is extremely tough for someone to perform at his or her best when depressed. Many experts, but, differ on the motive that depression occurs. Is it a low level of serotonin? A tough upbringing? A tragic life event? All of the above? Truly, from my point of view, none of those factors can cause a long- or even short-term drop in one's state of mind. There might rather be a correlation between these factors and depression, however there's not a cause-and-effect relationship between them.

  • How Can Performance Coaching Make You A Better Athlete?
    By: Garret Kramer | - Athletes who have had performance training realize the damage that can be done to their game when they allow negative thoughts, or what is known as "defeatist thinking, takes hold. A losing team more or less gives up or possesses a losing attitude that affects performance. A marathon runner, for example, is plagued by feelings of his inadequacies and becomes convinced he cant succeed for the duration. The power of thought is generally overlooked and not given acknowledgment for all kinds o ...

  • Do I Need A Gym?
    By: Marc-Olivier Dagenais | -

    There are many softball programs out there who do not have access to a weight training facility. There are also many parents out there who want to help their child get more fit and ready to play softball, but don't really have access to a gym or weight lifting equipment.

    This couldn't be further from the truth!

  • Why You Should See A Chiropractor If In A Car Accident
    By: Dr Mike Klein DC & Dr Kerry Kruzel DC | - Definition of Whiplash
    Whiplash is caused from auto- car accident injury when the muscles, ligaments & tendons of the neck are injured by a sudden "whipping" of the head. This type of motion strains & sprains the muscles, tendons and ligaments of the neck beyond their normal range of motion and also causes misalignment of the vertebrae. If these tears (sprains & strains) are not properly cared for they could lead to lifelong pain and pre-mature degeneration of the injured areas. Without ...

    By: Dr Mike Klein DC & Dr Kerry Kruzel DC | - Being in an accident isn't just something that effects a car, but it's also something that effects the people who are in the car as well. That's something that people forget about accidents, that it's not just cars hitting, but also people who are inside the car being slammed around. And it's not all about broken legs, blood and bruising, a lot of the damage that you see in regards to human damage in a car accident is the kind of stuff that you can't see.

  • Car Accident Injury- Hidden Whiplash Danger!
    By: Dr Mike Klein DC & Dr Kerry Kruzel DC | - Getting into an accident can cause a lot of damage to your car. In fact, most car's are designed to have a certain amount of exterior damage, while keeping the driver safe with a rigid structure that outlines the interior the car. The thing is, the exterior damage that you see to a car is not always all that is wrong with it. Sure, you may have a broken bumper, but you also may have done some damage to your engine that needs to be taken care of just as much as the external damage that you see.

  • Slow Time Down To Improve Sporting Performance
    By: Ross Chouler | - Whether it's tennis, football, rugby, boxing or any other reactive sport, the great players all seem to have more time to react. When you watch Roger Federer, he seems to have all the time in the world to get into position and make his shot. Muhammad Ali was lightning quick in this prime and was able to react that little bit quicker than his opponent, which lead to amazing success in the ring.

  • 10 Daily Rituals To Increase Your Confidence
    By: Ross Chouler | - In order to achieve more success in any area of your life you have to take more action.

  • The Power Of Vision, Passion And Action
    By: Ian Henderson | - The World Cup has come around again. England's football team went off to South Africa with players, media and supporters all claiming that this was the year. Yes, this was the year when the World Cup would be coming home to its rightful place.

    However, as I write this article, things do not look so promising. Two draws with lesser opposition means that we must beat Slovenia to stand any realistic hope of getting to the knockout stage, much less win the tournament. For those readers ...

  • Shatter And Start
    By: Vasco Patrício | - This is something I have stumbled upon while investigating how we get better at certain things, how we evolve and how our performance evolves. Our performance is not always continuous. Its made primarily of levels. Plateaus. You reach a plateau, and you have to break it to get to the next one.

    Every time we do something for a long time we develop not only our conscious competences, but our unconscious competences. We, in our minds, develop a sense of how we do it. However, we als ...

    Let me start with an example. Imagine you have a task you need to complete. You can just do it. You can do it well. You can make true effort and do it really well. You can give your all and do it to the top level.

    That is what top achievers do. At every little thing they do, they give their all. How is this different, however? I mean, if you give 50%, ...

  • How Making It Yours Can Help Achieve Peak Performance
    By: Vasco Patrício | - One fact that is usually not considered while studying peak performance tactics, but that has a great impact is the factor of having a true connection with the task, "making it ours".

    Creating a connection to the task makes us motivated to complete it. However, it has to be a true connection. It cannot just be a feeling of the like "I like this" or "this might be good". It has to be a true, deep desire to achieve something, love what you do and do whatever you can to reach your goal ...

  • Peak Performance And Neurofeedback Training
    By: Clare Albright | - One of the most satisfying and exhilarating experiences you will ever have as an athlete is when you find yourself in the "zone," when your mind and body function in perfect harmony, and your every move is faultless. Even while you are enjoying this state of "flow", you know it won't last forever. Sooner or later you will find yourself struggling once again to reach that state of peak performance, leaving you to wonder..."Where did that brilliant state of being come from?" "Where did it go?" an ...

  • Is Neurofeedback Training Helpful For Peak Performance?
    By: Clare Albright | - Peak performance is all about being at your best at will. You've had those moments when everything was clicking; when everything you looked at was in "high definition," crisp and clean; when your hearing was as clear as if you were in a recording studio, and sensations that normally escaped your awareness made themselves known in a dynamic way. If only you could harness those moments, and bring them to the fore when it is crucial to be at your peak.

    Until now, Tiger Woods has never failed to win from the front in his 14 major victories. And so Yang's victory which sees him leapfrog from 110 in the world to 34 is all ...
