Hopefully, we all want the best for our children. The ‘best’ can interpreted many different ways. What you think is the ‘best’ for your child might not be what I consider ‘best’.
And as parents we bring our own values, experiences and prejudices to the table which can really help a kid or really screw one up.
When it comes to sports, I have had more opportunities than most to mess up my kid’s athletic careers. As an ex-athlete as many dads and moms are, I had the perspective that I was eminently qualified to coach and teach my children EVERYTHING there is to know. Of course everyone that ever played a game, listens to sport’s talk radio, watches ESPN and has attended a sport’s safety course feels that they are just as qualified.
Over the years, I have had many opportunities to work with my kids in sports. While ALL of my intentions have been good, sometimes the results have not (I know that probably surprises you- :D).
My 3 oldest have had the chance to experience many different levels of sport- College Basketball, HS- Football, Basketball, Baseball, Track & Field. We’ve had Captains and County Champions and 1st Team All-Whatevers. But I always felt that I had let my kid’s down when it came to the ‘best’ possible way to PREPARE.
To me, Preparation is key because it’s something you can control and something, once you learn it, that can be applied to many areas of life. Preparation can be a problem though since most kids just want to play and are not mature enough to even grasp the concept of Prepping. And even if they are willing to Prepare, what system will you give them?
You cannot rely on the coaches. Most (the vast majority) are game strategists only. Some are able to inspire- which is a huge bonus.
Now if the coaches actually told you that they REALLY do not know the best way to prepare physically, you would save a whole lot of time and frustration. But they give your kids workouts or tell them to run or send them to a gym or a weight room.
And we parents get all bent out of shape when our kids do not perform to a level anywhere near their potential. Many of us blame the coaches or even the kids themselves for this ‘failure’.
But it’s NOT the coach’s fault. And it’s NOT your child’s fault. (With all things being equal, in that your child truly WANTS to succeed) It’s YOUR fault if they fail. I mean I truly believe that ANY kid who wants to earn a varsity letter can- just maybe not in a particular sport.
This brings me to my Experiment- my youngest son. I was running out of my own kids to train. Russ ‘Buddy’ Jones was my last chance. And he was and is a Challenge- in so many ways. But sharing in his Victories has been awesome.
My son loves baseball. I mean he really loves it. He loves playing it, watching it, umping it and talking about it. From birth he was destined to play for the Yankees- Ruth, Gehrig, DiMaggio, Mantle, Jeter, and Jones.
He loves the feel of a bat in his hands. He’d practice his swings everywhere- on the field, in the driveway, in the living room, in his bedroom. Always tweaking and adjusting his stroke or his stance.
And if he couldn’t play baseball, he would grab the kid next door to play wiffle ball in our front yard. They played from spring until the 1st snow every year for at least 10 years. They only stopped last year when my son was 18. The grass will still not grow around home plate and the pitcher’s mound.
Buddy played on baseball teams during the spring, summer and fall. But he swung his bat just about every day of the year. He wasn’t always the most teachable kid and I never wanted to push a sport on him so he taught himself a lot.
Since he was one of those kids who physically matured late, he was never looked upon as ‘athletic’ (whatever that means). This meant that he was never picked for the ‘elite’ teams. But he hung in there and was blasting home runs out of the big ball parks by the time he was 13.
But the ‘politics’ of local baseball was starting to wear on him and many times the ‘fun’ was taken out of the game. When he was a sophomore in high school he got cut from the JV team and I started to believe that maybe he was just not good enough. He took it hard but continued to play on whatever teams he could hook on with.
So I took my son to see an old friend who at one time was the head scout for the Chicago White Sox- Major League Baseball. On the side, he asked me, ‘Do these stupid )&)(*&%%$!#@ high school coaches know who this kid’s father is?’ I assured him that no one where I lived knew anything about me in sports- especially from back in the old days.
He put my son through almost 3 hours of drills in every aspect of baseball. He conferred with his assistant and then walked over to. ‘You’re kid’s getting screwed’, he whispered. I think we all have some doubt when it comes to objectively evaluating our own children-and not just in sports.
Driving home my thoughts went from anger toward those who treated my son poorly to frustration since I think I was kind of hoping that the evaluation would be poor and we could all move on with our lives.
What would you do? I know children around the world face much more severe issues than being cut from a baseball team but those kids don’t live in my house. We talked, we counseled, we prayed, we changed schools.
Well let’s put it this way, we didn’t change schools just because of baseball but that greatly contributed to the decision. Crazy to some but looking back it worked out pretty good. Although NOT in baseball- his new school had a very good team. As a junior, my son batted 2nd and played the outfield on the jayvee squad. As a senior, he had a shot to play the outfield on varsity or possibly be the Designated Hitter.
BUT after all these years of Baseball practice and games and loving the game, he chose not to go out for the team. AFTER ALL that he had gone through, he decided to NOT play. I could not believe my ears.
PAUSE- I have to stop here- finish next time :D. AND I will get to ‘cardio’ as well.

Raphael
Yesterday I spoke and broke a few things at a Powerlifting meet in Dover, NJ. It wasn’t a particularly huge event- except for the competitors that is.
I’ve never competed in one of these events but the whole concept is pretty basic. How much weight can you lift?
3 chances at 3 lifts- the Squat, Bench Press and Deadlift. According to weight class and gender, whoever lifts the highest total wins.
What I love about these meets is that EVERYONE wins. But not like the nonsense in kid’s sports today where they don’t keep score and everyone in the league comes home with a HUGE trophy at the end of the season (that policy makes more Wieners than Winners).
You see everyone wins at a Powerlifting meet but not everyone gets a trophy. Everyone wins because of 2 reasons. The lifters get a chance to give 100% effort and they get a chance to set a Personal Best. THAT is very rare in sports and rare in life.
In most sports, athletes must compete at less than 100% because we all start to fail after 10-20 seconds. Anything longer than that you have to pace yourself- which is okay but the absolute RUSH when you have to explode at your maximum is incredible.
And anytime you get to establish a Personal Best is fantastic. No one is banished to the loser’s bracket or eliminated from the competition. There are no playoffs or even tryouts. Just show up, give it everything you’ve got, hear the cheers of encouragement and go home happy.
So I gave my talk and did some feats in between events. The audience was great and they seemed to appreciate my effort. Most came up later to thank me including a happy looking kid named Raphael.
Raphael was tall and muscular. You could tell that he didn’t have a whole lot of competition experience but he was really giving a strong effort. His smile lit up the room.
I asked him where he was from and his story started to unfold. He was 25 years old. His parents had brought him to the United States from Poland when he was 8. They lived in Jersey City and then Bayonne for a while before settling in Parsippany, NJ. He had an older brother and a younger sister.
But then the ‘happy’ story changed. Raphael had gotten in with the wrong crowd in high school and had been strung out on drugs until about 7 months ago. He ended up in a place in Morristown called the Market Street Mission. There he lived with about 60 other men whose lives were in chaos. It sounds like a live-in 12-step program.
Raphael told me it’s been a really tough stretch but he has stayed ‘clean’ the entire time. The folks there have guided him in his thought processes and his spiritual life.
Along the way, he was introduced to our old friend Pastor Pete. A couple of years ago, Pastor Pete had scrounged around and put together a GYM for the guys at the Mission. Then he taught them how to train their bodies and he encouraged them to ‘compete’ because he knew how important it is for all of us to be strong Physically as well as strong Mentally and Spiritually.
Like the 3 legged stool, we cannot ignore any part of our being- especially when we are facing some of the biggest challenges of our lives.
It sounded to me like Raphael was ‘getting it’. I’m not sure if he captured a trophy yesterday but he did set a Personal Best. AND he’s due to EARN his release from the Mission just before Christmas- filled with a new found Dream and Hope for the future. If you’re a prayin’ person, send one up for this kid. Thanks.
Next time we begin our talk about Cardio (unless I get distracted :)).

Stretching Controversy?
Hi. A few folks had questions. Please note that when I offer insights it’s with the hope of helping you IMPROVE your life… Most of us have ‘Sacred Cows’ in our life (something exempt from criticism or questioning). When someone raises a question about our Cow, we can tend to get very defensive.
And when we get defensive, sometimes we are unable to see things clearly. So if Stretching is sacred to you and it’s working for you and your performance is improving in your sport or in your life in general, then by all means keep doing what you are doing.
2 things you might want to consider.
Out in the wild when the animals have to chase prey, do they stop and stretch and get ready to go? Do they have to warm up and prepare the muscles to go and get dinner? Or is it because of the way they USE their muscles that they are prepared to go all the time? Humans are Capable of that very same thing.
AND with all the Stretching going on, why is it that the #1 injury in the entire WORLD is soft tissue injury?
Warm ups should be of the same Character and Intensity of the activity you are about to perform. We train our Athletes to warm up with activities that are of very high velocity and the loads are massive. It’s really not a warm up, it’s true work. And that’s what prepares us for what comes next.
When people get into a character of moving that is within a ‘comfort zone’—much less than 100% intensity—they’re able to avoid injuries but Human Performance suffers. If your performance is NOT improving, maybe it’s time to evaluate how you’re going about doing things.
I referred to my expert & friend- Jay Schroeder (Evosport, ARPwave, UltraFit). Here's a question and Jay's response which I felt was pretty indicative of the questions being raised…
re: Stretch out?
~Ok I'll bite. How is stretching bad for you?
Here's my personal scenario. I wrestled from 6yrs old to college, lifted and trained and feel I know my body well. I have a slight scoliosis due to the fact my one leg is longer than the other. So I have had my share of back "issues". Nothing severe but I was prone to injury if I lifted wrong. In addition, I also never stretched much and have particularly tight hamstrings. In fact touching my toes was impossible and the closest I could ever come was my shins. I mean tight! I just figured I was built that way.
Roll the clock forward and about a year ago I started running and lifting again (heart healthy). After about 6 months I hurt my back, bad. Like never before. I mean I couldn't walk. I went to a Dr. and the MRI showed 2 compressed vertebrae, one ruptured.
I went thru a Spinal Decompression process over 10 weeks that worked wonders! And here's the punch line. The biggest part of the rehab was to stretch. I stretched like never before. Now I touch my toes every day, I have better range of motion and feel stronger than ever. I know that my back is healed and will continue the stretching regime for the rest of my life.
So back to my question, how is this bad for me?
Thanks, Bill
Bill,
To begin with I am glad that you have been able to improve your quality of life. Muscles contract to shorten [concentrically], and to lengthen [eccentrically]. It is impossible to stretch muscle as it only contracts. What does occur when someone performs or assumes a stretching position is that connective tissue is stretched. This certainly can allow one to see and feel a difference when executing a task such as touching ones toes.
Unfortunately the way that humans are designed to display this range of motion is to have muscles concentrically contract and muscles opposite to eccentrically contract. This insures that the muscles absorb this load [force], not areas such as vertebrae, bones, connective tissue etc. You see when you were executing your training plan, the muscles you were using to execute the actions were inappropriate. This in balance of quadriceps to hamstring in your case leads to the overpowered muscle [hamstring] remaining in a constant state of concentric contraction, which then leads to other muscles, typically in the back area, to also stay in a concentrically contracted state, leading to this force being distributed to the vertebrae and connective tissue.
Now the human is amazing and can create a way to complete the desired action utilizing inappropriate muscles. This again was mainly due to muscles on one side overpowering the muscles opposite. Lets look at curling a bar, from the bottom position the biceps begin to contract concentrically, not only does this occur, but at the same moment in time for the same length of time, at the same force, and velocity the triceps must eccentrically contract. If this doesn't occur then the load must be displaced elsewhere, elbow, wrist, shoulder connective tissue in each area. This should not happen as our connective tissue is a last resort of protection; our muscles are designed for this task.
To summarize, no one would argue that humans, by stretching, can create increased range of motion, due to the laxity created by stretching the connective tissue. Unfortunately this is not the way we are designed to work, to allow one to perform in their later years the same as the younger years, and to avoid treatments [therapy] surgeries, such as yours and all the other related connective tissue exercises. This is the true task to accomplish when one is training. There is much research on stretching and the elderly that indicates that stretching leads to the more serious problems associated with hips, backs and knees.
I would recommend to you that you research stretching, and strength training and access how best to employ it to affect your life. I hope for your continued success, no matter what your choices may be.
Speed and Strength Always, Jay
There you have it gang. Next up is ‘Cardio’. Let me know if you want to discuss how we train.

Stretch out?
Did you hear about the Animal Cracker recall? All the SEALS were broken. (Thanks Krissy Jones :D).
Hope all is well with you. I suppose that I had better come up with some answers. The last Breakthrough Newsletter generated some questions.
Aside from writing, speaking and performing, I have been in the ‘fitness business’ since 1984- 25 years. I have always attempted to stay ‘up’ on current research in exercise science as well as trends.
And I’ve also read extensively on the subject. And I’ve applied much of what I’ve learned into my own training which has taken me from Triathlons to performing feats of strength. In fact, I’ve been coached by the modern-day Grand Master of Strongmen- Dennis Rogers.
And I’ve been injured many times and had to seek out answers to get healed. And many times the answers were not easy to come by.
Then 3 years ago I crossed paths with 2 gentlemen- Denis Thompson and Jay Schroeder. And after visiting with them and hearing what they had to say and seeing the results of their work, I wished that I had met them 25 years ago. Actually, I wish I had met them when I was 14 years old.
Their knowledge of how the human body PERFORMS is remarkable. The most difficult task for me is trying in un-learn the vast amount of useless information I had been served since the my beginnings in the ‘fitness industry’.
So consider this. Wherever you are right now, make a muscle (flex your bicep). Squeeze it hard.
Okay, now relax. Muscles only can do 1 of 2 things. They can either contract or relax. That’s it. Muscles DO NOT stretch.
So if Stretching is part of your routine and Muscles do not stretch, what exactly are you stretching? Well your bones are not going to stretch, so the only things left are your Ligaments and Tendons. And what is the job of Ligaments and Tendons? To anchor your muscles and stabilize your Joints. So Stretching as we have come to know it, actually De-Stabilizes your Joints and SETS YOU UP FOR INJURY. Hmmm….
Maybe then, we should be learning how to turn muscles on and off at the right time. This would allow us to relax our muscles more completely. We will be able to move through a full range of motion freely and efficiently- without risking injury by stretching the heck out our ligaments (ps- ligaments are supposed to be tight).
Next time we’ll address Cardio and I’ll tell you how my son ran a mile 39 seconds faster than his previous lifetime best- after he had not run AT ALL for over 3 months.
