* What I'm reading or rereading:
"I Feel Like Going On: Life, Game, and Glory" by Ray Lewis
From Amazon.com- "Ray Lewis, legendary Baltimore Ravens linebacker and one of the greatest defensive players of his generation, holds nothing back on the state of football as well as his troubled childhood, his rise to athletic greatness, the storm that threatened to ruin his NFL career, and the devastating injury that nearly cost him a final moment of glory."
*What caught my attention this week:
4 Habits of World-Class Performers:

2. Nail your morning routine

4. Life is a sprint
* Fit Tip of the Week:
Tennis Elbow! Elbow pain is reality and varies in degree. This pain is the result of repetitive stress to your elbow joint; usually at intensities your elbows are not yet ready to endure. So how can we begin to fix it? Check upstream. When your shoulder lacks strength and/or mobility, this places extra stress on your elbow joint, causing it to be enraged with anger! Once your chest, upper back, shoulders, biceps, and triceps get on the same page the pain will subside. Now, this is not a quick fix. It took time to wear your joints down and its going to take time to build them back up. With a little physical preparation to these few areas, we can get rid of OR prevent elbow pain altogether.
* Random Weekly Fact:
Being dehydrated reduces exercise performance and disrupts sleep! Make sure you hydrate for peak performance and rest. Beginning a simple water program can jump start your new habit.
* Golf Fit Tip of the Week:
Train all planes! One of the most important things is the importance of training your body in multiple planes of motion. Make sure you work in exercises that function in the frontal plane (moving to and from the body midline- ie jumping jax), the sagittal plane (flexion and extension-ie sit up), and the transverse plane (rotational-ie russian twists).
