Athletes of the Month - Malcolm Howard & Jemerey Thompson |
|
MALCOLM HOWARD
Malcolm burst onto the international rowing scene in 2003 by winning the under 23 World Championships in the mens heavyweight 8 category and has been one of the powerhouses of the Canadian National Rowing Team ever since. Based out of Victoria, B.C. Malcolm has gone on to win numerous other World Championships and a Gold Medal at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. That's what happens when you train as hard as he does, stand 6'6" and weigh close to 260lbs. Malcolm has now transitioned to singles sculling and recently took gold in the men's singles race at the National Rowing Championships in London, Ont.
"2009 started as a tough year for me after cracking my ribs, but these things happen when pushing your body to the max. You have to stay positive and work at healing. 7SYSTEMS has really helped me heal quickly and otherwise keep me healthy so I could come to the National Rowing Championships in top form this year. And 7SYSTEMS co-founder Jasper Blake helped me with my general conditioning with some fantastic bike rides around Victoria when my ribs prevented me from getting in a boat."
Malcolm is focused on winning at the 2012 London Olympics....but watch for this guy if he ever takes up bike riding full-time as he has so much power that he snaps bike cranks on a regular basis. Click here for more on Malcom, including his answers to 7 QUESTIONS FROM 7SYSTEMS. |
JEREMY THOMPSON
Jeremy Thompson is someone who tries to do more in everything he does. He is a father who just welcomed his 3rd child, is a Managing Director at one of Canada's top private equity firms, and is always ranked near the top of Toronto's most competitive club squash ladders. His prowess on the squash courts took him far in his varsity squash career and now his racquet skills, agility and strategic thinking continue to make him highly competitive on a doubles court, with a recent Ontario and National B Doubles title to his credit. Jemery is a great example of someone balancing life's priorities while trying to do more in every aspect of his life.
"Between work, travel and family, making time for squash matches can be a challenge but it is something I work hard at as it really improves my outlook. Missing playing because of fatigue or illness is something I try hard to avoid so I started using 7SYSTEMS. It definitely made me feel better and I avoided getting sick. I ran out of 7SYSTEMS towards the end of the year and forgot to put in a new order with the birth of our newborn. Low and behold I got sick over the holidays. I remembered that I needed to get back on 7SYSYEMS and the team got me some more product really fast. I am back on it, feeling great and looking forward to my next match."

Coach's Corner - Choosing and Achieving your Goals |
|
In today's highly competitive athletic world, professional triathletes are seeking performance advantages in the fields of aerodynamics, hydrodynamics, physiology, nutrition and sports medicine. Each of these areas offers only one piece of the performance puzzle.
Mental training is the next piece of the puzzle for increased performance.
The underlying principle behind a sound mental training plan is the belief that your mental attitude will determine your physical achievements or failures. You've probably been introduced to this concept before, but most people don't fully understand the real power of the mind/body relationship. Take for example, commitment - if you don't strongly commit to do what is necessary to be successful in your training, then chances are you won't follow through with your training program.
Now you can apply the same principles to your training as the Pro's do!
