How My Dream of Olympic Competition Was Lost in 38 Seconds
I had a plan. It wasn’t a great plan, but a plan nonetheless. I was going to break 2:50 in the New Orleans Marathon and qualify for Boston. If I made it, I was going to hire a coach to train me for Boston with hopes of breaking 2:22 for an Olympic Trials qualifying time. Of course, dropping 30 minutes in 2 months was a somewhat absurd idea, but we runners are nothing if not dreamers.

Building a Strong Foundation
In recent years working with young pitchers, one problem has arisen that needs to be addressed. A solid foundation in the lower half is essential for the development of creating force that gets to the baseball and the feel for release point. There are a variety of reasons for this, but most likely it is the lack of well rounded multiple sport athletes that we now find on the baseball field and pitchers’ mound. With the concentration of year round play increasing, we see fewer multiple sport athletes. This concentration on one sport limits a variety of motor skill that are learned, naturally.

Why I Studied Martial Arts
From the age of 5, I was a bit fixated on martial arts when some older kids pushed me into the lawn at our school. I did kindergarten in public school, first grade in private school. I have gone mano-a-mano with my old man using actual skills. I got pinched in between the legs in my old neighborhood, counting as one street fight I resolved by hitting the guy with my bag of groceries in the chest, making noise by yelling at one guy and getting the hell out of there. I have stood up to threats of physical violence in my home. I refuse to stay silent, since when I tell my mother to deal with all she is not dealing with, it is met with still more denial. I'm sick to death of it, frankly. But anyway, I'm talking about why I latched into martial arts as an interest an exhausted, sleep-deprived 15-year-old with untreated schizoaffective.
