Carlos Schulze
Carlos recently returned to
the US after spending 2 years coaching soccer professionally in
Chile where his system
of training allowed his team's goalkeeper
to be
considered as one of the top TWO keepers in the Nation. He also coached
with the U-18 Chilean National team. His lifetime of sports and
fitness experience
and having also played professional
soccer gives him
an advantage in understanding overall fitness.
Carlos has been a coach
for the past
18 years working with various levels
of youth and adult
organizations such as MVLA, Mustang soccer San Jose State University
and many others. Carlos' focus, motivation and perception of what
a top
athlete needs to be successful
gives an edge to those that train with
him.
What Others Are Saying About Carlos:
"Carlos is truly
the best trainer I have
ever had! He knows how to push you
to get the
best possible out of you so
that you can perform at the highest
level. Thanks to his training over the
years I have the strength,
technique,
and confidence to play at an elite level in club and at the
youth national team level."
--Megan K, US National Team goalkeeper
"In my near 30 years of coaching top
teams all over the world, I have
never encountered a more complete and knowledgeable
individual as
Carlos Schulze."
--Nelson Acosta, former Chilean National Team head coach World Cup '98 & Bronze medalist at the Athens Olympic Games.
"Coach Carlos' training skills allow me to reach a superlative level of
professional
play; his training methods have extended
my career by a
couple of years!!"

CLIENT SPOTLIGHT
Linda Tackles Mt. Whitney
"When I mentioned to my doctor that I
would be hiking up Mt. Whitney this
summer she gave me an invaluable
piece of advice- get a personal trainer.
I worked with Serena at NoXcuses Fitness
who carefully worked up a game plan
that had me totally prepared for the
60 miles I hiked and the 14,500 ft elevation
at the top of Whitney."

Fitness Advice

Finding the Motivation
with Lisa Lee,
Fitness Specialist
When life gets busy and responsibilities and obligations
begin piling up, it may leave you feeling more like a passenger being
driven through life
than
the driver in
control of the wheel.
It's important to remind yourself that you have
the ability
to steer yourself in any direction you choose. Each and every day you wake up is a new opportunity
for choices. You can
decide to exercise,
make time for
relaxation, and eat a nutritious
breakfast or
you can choose other
options that are less beneficial to your emotional and
physical health. Whether it
feels like it or not, the choice is always and entirely up to you.
Regard every day
as a new, exciting
opportunity for change.
We generally
accomplish what weexpect to achieve. If you think that you will be
successful
in making healthier choices such
as exercising and
eating more healthfully, chances are you
will. Conversely, if you think you will not succeed,
you are already setting yourself up for failure.
Setting realistic goals
and expectations
is an important first
step in embarking on a healthier
lifestyle.
* Choose goals that are worthwhile - Your goal should have
personal meaning for you and be
worth the work you
intend to invest in it.
The benefits of
achieving the goal
should outweigh
the barriers. Conceptualize the benefits you will gain
by
achieving the goal
(more energy to
play with my children, better quality of sleep, enhanced
self-image, etc.). The more benefits
you can list, the more motivation you will
have to overcome
any obstacles that
may arise.
* Choose goals that are achievable stretches - Your goal
should be realistic and achievable
and, at the same time, something you have to invest energy
in to
attain. If a goal is too
easy and doesn't mentally and
emotionally engage
you, you will
abandon it. Challenging goals are motivating.
* Choose goals that
are specific and in
the present tense -
Clearly define what
you are trying to
achieve. For example, instead of saying,
"I want to become
more active", say, "I will take a 30 minute walk after work today". Phrasing your goal in
this way tells your subconscious
that you've already achieved the goal
which means it will
help the goal
become a reality.
Visualize yourself succeeding and be prepared to reward
yourself for
accomplishing your
goals. If you succeed
in achieving the goal
of 30 minutes per day
of walking that you
set for yourself,
reward yourself with a healthy dessert, play
time with your
kids, or
30 minutes of pleasure
reading. Though your reward should be personally meaningful
and motivating, know that the physical,
mental and emotional benefits you will gain by
achieving a healthier lifestyle will be far
more rewarding.
Before you know it, the goals will become a
seamless part of your day-to-day life and
you'll be looking for your next, big
challenge!
