If you are at all interested in SPORT you know who Jordan Spieth is…but did you know he is much more than a golfer…he is an athlete. Considering the articles we have been writing in June about Long Term Athlete Development this article on the TPI site is very timely.

I believe thinking is a skill. You can improve it. I know with practice, I have. The more I do it, the better I get at it. I once heard when Einstein’s brain was examined after his death, the area responsible for thinking was larger than anyone else in history. I guess it is not a surprise the person who solved some of the biggest mental challenges spent the most time in thought.

If you know anything about fat loss and athletic performance, you’re aware that hormones are easily one of the most important factors.
In fact, hormones affect all aspects of human function. They dictate mood, allowing us to be upbeat and on top of the world, or depressed and tired.
They trigger muscle contractions and stimulate protein and fat synthesis.
They enable world champion athletic performances, govern metabolic rate, and tell us when we’re hungry.
But hormones don’t exist in a vacuum. Instead, hormone levels are constantly in flux, playing off each other and determining how we perform in the world.

BAREFOOT RUNNING
In the last few years there has been a great increase in running bare foot and/or in minimalist shoes. With this increase has come an increase in the number of injuries to the feet, ankles, knees, hips and back. Running is a high impact activity that requires us to be fit before we start. Running bare foot or in minimalist shoes requires us to be extra fit with very strong feet. Every day I work with clients who break down because their feet have very poor mechanics. Going from regular, highly supportive running shoes to minimalist shoes in asking for an injury. Now, I do believe that many can work toward running bare foot but only when they have ensured proper foot mechanics and running stride. Here is an article by Pete Williams from EXOS (Athletes Performance) about slowly making the transition.
