Share the journey of a CMP Coach!

 

There is a saying 'the more things change the more they stay the same'. With some of the changes I have been noticing lately I am not so sure if this saying applies. I share my thoughts on this in an article in this issue titled 'Are the goal posts moving?'

 

Also in this issue of 'Between Sets' Coach Kochonda discusses some very interesting aspects of the attitude 'Who should I see to fix my injury?';  Coach Pimentel draws your attention to the role of measuring your progress in training with his article 'Do you measure?"; and Coach Pobega shares his experiences in coaching the competitive athlete.

 

There's been a number of new developments from KSI and we bring you up to date with a few of them below in the 'What's New' Section.

It's just 2 weeks to go before the KSI coaches and athletes come together for our 5th Annual International get-together. Amazing learning will occur at this event!

Enough talk. Let's do it.

If it was promoted that squats were bad for your knees (as it was by 'science' from about the 1960s) then you would expect that perspective would stay for a long time - like 30-40 years, as was the case for the reputation of squatting.

But what if most of what the majority believed was to be revealed as not so? How would you handle this? Have you been thinking and acting like the masses, or have you been sharing my values and thinking for yourself? Here's an example - Read more

 
Who should I see to fix this injury?

by Mitchell Kochonda

This past week I was talking casually with a couple of people and a young mother of two said her neck/trap area was hurting her. I 'guessed' what side was paining her and said 'it's not hard to see why' and shared the concept of the 'body not lying'. Meaning you can say what you want in relation to your training, an injury, a perception you have about yourself, etc, but bottom line - the body doesn't lie!

I passed on a few brief pointers to assist her in overcoming this little challenge. She then asked "who should I see to fix this? A physio or a Chiro?" So I asked her a few brief questions - Read more

The 2008 KSI Athlete Training Camp & Challenge!
 
In August 2008 in the US we will be running a 3 day athlete training camp and challenge. During these three days successful applicants will be given the opportunity to be trained by KSI coaches, and participate in a challenge to determine the 'KSI Champion Athlete 2008'.  This will be determined on a holistic assessment, not simply a physical one. That's all we will share at this point re the challenge.
 
Applications are invited from current KSI clients who train seriously in any physical sport or endeavor. You must have a strong commitment to training and achieving your goals. Preference will be given to KSI forum members and those who have shown a prior commitment to developing their training through the KSI way. If you would like to be sent out an application form email us with a request to have one sent out to you via email. In this email please outline your involvement with KSI and how you have been implementing the KSI way in your training.  
 
The camp will be held between Mon 25 and Wed 27 August 2008 inclusive.
 
Successful applicants will be able to secure this opportunity with a nominal registration fee only, providing an incredible opportunity for those who are selected.
