Athletics Trust Scotland’s Post

Excellent initiative.

The Big Row is back: Row the distance from Paris to LA, 5 – 8 September. I believe rowing is for everyone; and everyone can row. Moreover, everyone has the right to row. For some, the experience of rowing offers positive life transformation. Love Rowing is a charity that helps to create opportunities for individuals, particularly those from communities currently underrepresented in our sport, to experience rowing. I was fortunate to start rowing at school several decades ago. It has partly shaped who I am today. I am passionate about rowing’s ability to support physical and mental wellbeing and creating a sense of belonging. I joined Love Rowing as a Trustee in 2021 to contribute to its mission and have met some wonderful rowing people in the process. Love Rowing is British Rowing’s charitable foundation aiming to transform lives through the sport, bringing new diverse communities to rowing. We want more people to experience rowing, whether on land or water, with a focus on traditionally underserved groups, including: - Young people from low socioeconomic backgrounds - People with disabilities - Ethnically diverse communities The Big Row 2024 Row together from Paris to Los Angeles. Starting in the final week of the Paralympic Games in Paris, we’ll cover a total distance of 15,241 km, finishing in LA, the host of the next Olympics and Paralympics. This challenge is for everyone, whether you row on land or water, solo or in a team. We aim to raise £60,000 to support inclusive and accessible rowing projects across the UK. This will help get more people involved in rowing, changing lives for the better. How You Can Get Involved: 1. Register: Click the link below to sign up. 2. Pledge Your Distance: Choose how much you want to row. 3. Get Sponsors: Rally support from friends, family, and colleagues. 4. Row Anytime: Between 5th and 8th September, row whenever and wherever suits you – at home, work, school, rowing clubs, or leisure centres. We’ll also have exciting Big Row venues where you can join us and other participants for a fun, collective rowing experience. More details to follow once you’ve registered!  https://lnkd.in/eG7nZrxu Together, we can make rowing accessible to all and transform lives across the UK.

Week 7: Race Day Readiness 🎯 We’ve reached the final week of our "TMT Marathon Training Tips" series! With race day just around the corner, we're here to share crucial tips to help you step up to the starting line with confidence and poise.

With the right mindset, gear, and hydration strategies, you'll be ready to conquer those 26.2 miles with confidence. Actionable Steps: 1️⃣ Prepare a Checklist: Ensure all your gear, hydration, and nutrition are organized the night before to avoid any last-minute stress. 2️⃣ Visualize Success: Picture yourself running smoothly and triumphantly crossing the finish line. 3️⃣ Stay Calm: Focus on your breathing and trust the hard work and dedication you've put into your training.

Prioritize 'Who' Before 'What'. Don't rush to fill positions – find the right fit for your team's mission and vision. It's not just about skills, but the impact they can make. Take a moment to evaluate what's missing and seek the perfect match.. . . . #Yoursportsresource #Sportsleadership #Youthsports #Nonprofit #Youth #Sports #Sportsclub #Swimming #TeamBuilding #HiringTips #BusinessGrowth #CompanyCulture

UTS50 (well it should be 58) Completed! I managed to finish the race in just under 11 hours and can confirm it was by far the hardest one I have done to date – most of the second half was spent regretting signing up and currently I can only walk downstairs one step at a time 😃. That said, now the dust has settled I am back on track reviewing what went wrong/right and starting to plan future races (maybe the 100k race next year?). Many thanks for those who have sponsored me we have raised over £1,700 towards a really important cause. https://lnkd.in/dC6FF9y9 Few takeaways: 1) Plan you're own water strategy rather than opting for the minimum allowed - 1l of fluid for 3.5 hours and 1000m climbing was never enough 2) Be flexible with eating - I had divided supplies into phases and didn't flex this when a phase took twice as long as I planned 3) If it's hot (and it was) utilise the streams as often as possible to wet your body 4) Just keep moving at all time 5) If there is a bull on your path jump the fence into the bulls field 6) Don't complain too much if you are already planning to do the 100k version next year 🤣

We couldn't help but draw parallels between long-distance running and real estate. Both require unwavering dedication, persistence, and a long-term mindset. Just like marathon runners endure months of training, setbacks, and challenges before the big race, real estate professionals invest years into honing their skills, building their networks, and navigating the ups and downs of the market. And much like the feeling of invincibility that comes over you during a particularly exhilarating run, there are moments in our real estate careers when we feel unstoppable. When deals come together seamlessly, when investments pay off beyond our expectations, we're reminded of the endless possibilities that lie ahead. Perhaps the most striking similarity between long-distance running and real estate investing is the commitment to the long haul. So here's to the marathoners, both on the track and in the real estate game. May we continue to lace up our shoes, tackle challenges head-on, and run towards our dreams with unwavering determination. 💪 Brendan Hirschmann, Manager Hirschmann Homes LLC Direct: 972-559-4648 Brendan@HirschmannHomes.com www.HirschmannHomes.com
