INFINITY SKATING HIBRID PROGRAM FOR HOCKEY LOSERS ARE WINNERS WHO QUIT,  EVEN IF YOU LOSE YOU STILL WIN,  IF YOU DON'T QUIT (Cus" D'Amato) In skating sports, the crucial Age category that represents the future, is between 6 and 12. I call this period the terchial socialisation. This is where 99% of our personality is created. This is where bonds are made and broken. I'm talking about the transition from a civilian to a potential superior being. Superior beings represent that 1%, by my count. We also know them as Olympians and Hall of Fame title holders. The INFINITY program is a long term goal to achieve perfection. and the word perfection in particular and has a deeper meaning. It represents and merges with the word INFINITY.  Some say that perfection is never absolute, or more commonly said, you will never be perfect. But what defines perfect? Who is the all knowing google like person that can say: “ yes this is perfect!” So in this case, how I see it, it can only be better. In this way we evolve and if we realize that, we evolve 2x fast. But in that moment, when you think you or someone is perfect, in a nanosecond, you create the first defense mechanism of ego. Your brain thinks, that it means, that the potential of the person has reached its fullest potential and you, he or she, can not learn anything else and now one can teach you , him or her anything new or worthy of trying to understand the received information. 

The enhanced games, hmmm ... 🧐 "I'll juice to the gills and I'll break it in six months," said Magnussen, who will be paid $1m (£792,000)." You keep your juice to yourself ... "The Enhanced Games was founded by Australian businessman Aron D'Souza in 2023 and would not be subject to World Anti-Doping Agency rules. It is planned to include athletics, swimming, weightlifting, gymnastics and combat sports, though no date or venue for the event has yet been set." If this takes off, then what impact could it have on those games were participants are supposed to be clean ... #thinkingaboutthings #justanotherthought #thinkingdifferently #onebigchocolateeg #beavoice #beanecho #dotherightthing #stopthespread #dowehavetolivewithit #circular #donotstareatgoats #whatdoyouthink #wonderlust #wanderlust #wherediditcomefrom #whoknows #cananyonehelp #donotgowiththeflow #dejavu #onebigchocolateegg https://lnkd.in/eeebqVRq

The underestimated role of talc in recreational sports. For many, talc is a little-known hero in the world of recreational sports. However, this versatile mineral plays a crucial role in many of our favourite sports! In sports such as gymnastics, climbing and weightlifting, talc is used as a kind of 'secret weapon'. It improves grip and prevents sweat from affecting performance by keeping hands dry. Talc is also used in sports such as bowling and baseball to optimise the grip of balls and bats. Interestingly, talc is also used in winter sports. Skiers and snowboarders use talc to keep their equipment dry and efficient. It's amazing how such a simple mineral can have such a big impact in our sporting experience! Let's celebrate the versatility of talc and how it helps make our sporting adventures safer and more enjoyable! #leisuresport #talk #sportinnovation #health #fitness #letstalktalc #TalcAdditives #HighPerformanceMaterials #AdvancedTalcProducts #TrustInAIHAI #Industry40

Researchers found that tennis players had the biggest gains in life expectancy over sedentary individuals, adding 9.7 years to their lives. Badminton players came in second, with an average gain of 6.2 years. Followed by soccer (4.7 years), cycling (3.7 years), swimming (3.4 years), jogging (3.2 years) and low-intensity calisthenics (3.1 years). Health club workouts, such as exercising on an elliptical trainer, using a treadmill or lifting weights, added just 1.5 years, the least beneficial result in the study. #wellbeing #lifeexpectancy #tennis #biowired https://lnkd.in/eA24xxYd.

🌟 Exciting Times in the Gymnastics Industry! 🌟 Having spent 10 years leading a grassroots gymnastics club and now working as an Marketing and Operations Manager for RGA, I've witnessed a significant shift in how providers approach their businesses. Today, more than ever, they want the autonomy to choose how they operate—whether it’s selecting their insurance providers or deciding on their business structure. This choice feels akin to deciding between Kmart and Target. Each option has its strengths, but at the end of the day, what truly matters is how we support our athletes. We all share the same goal: nurturing young talent and fostering a love for gymnastics at the grassroots level. Let’s remember that while the dream of the Olympics inspires many, the reality is that only a few will make it there. Our focus should be on ensuring that all kids have the opportunity to be active, involved, and passionate about our sport. Together, let's prioritize the needs of our athletes and create an environment where every young gymnast can thrive. 🤸♀️❤️ #Gymnastics #YouthSports #AthleteDevelopment #BusinessChoice #GrassrootsSupport

Improving feel for the water might be difficult to do, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be done. One of my favorite strategies is using different hand postures at the same time. Let’s take a look at how to help your swimmers learn to use their hands more effectively while swimming butterfly. By swimming with one tennis ball, or one closed fist, swimmers are going to be feeling different sensation at the same time. It’s going to challenge them to manage those differences and still perform. In this case, they’re going to have to be consistent with their stroke count during the freestyle work and get better at creating speed with the butterfly. It’s an effective way to help them learn to get more out of each stroke, all while swimming full stroke and developing fitness.

Classical Pilates is that secret element to taking your swimming to a new level Glide through water by building a rock-solid core, enhancing flexibility, and boosting body awareness. Swimming on the Mat is a dynamic movement that mirrors the swimming motion, engaging your back, shoulders, legs, and core to build overall strength and power. #pilatesforwellbeing #pilates #classicalpilates #swimmingtraining #swimming #pilatespower #corestrength

Did you know that female gymnasts get a deduction if their bra straps peak out of their leotards during a routine? Imagine worrying about THAT while you’re trying to compete! In fact, a 2021 Sport New Zealand study revealed many teenaged girls were quitting sports because they felt uncomfortable in their uniforms. That’s why it’s so encouraging to learn that Gymnastics NZ recently updated its rules to allow gymnasts to wear shorts over leotards.   Every athlete deserves the right equipment to perform at their best.   What do you need to feel confident and empowered in your sport or activity? #gymnastics  #confidence #empowerment
