CFL Combine Blog- Mercer Timmis

With almost 7 weeks left until the combine my training has really started to ramp up. Time management has been key in order to fit in all my lifts and running workouts with my school schedule. My nutrition has been a huge component to my combine prep and I have made sure to fit in 6 meals a day all of which only contain chicken, fish, vegetables and nuts. The purpose for this is to lean out and I have to consume copious amounts so that I can maintain my weight. My new set of programs have been demanding and are helping me feel more and more explosive. Larry’s programs are very unique and every day my legs or upper body is sore. It has been a combination of exercises with significant volume along with tempo and other strictly for speed.

Goals vs New Years Resolution?? Really?

Just this morning a colleague of mine and I were discussing how we as gym owners don’t have a rush of fat loss New Year clients….one of the reasons is this…our clients are informed to set goals not New Years resolutions

What is the difference? Here is some data:

62% of people make New Years resolutions

Only 8% of these people stick to their resolutions

A Harvard Study showed that people who write down their goals achieve 100% more!

Here is what we at SST do with our clients and athletes

We talk about RESULT and ACTION goals

What is the difference:

Result goal example- I want to lose 10 lbs or I want to be an NFL Player

That’s great as we all want to succeed and win but what will YOU DO to get there???

This is when Action goals are implemented

Result – “I want to lose 10lbs”

Action Goal- I want to lose 10lbs on 12 weeks (the timeline is set)

Action goal- week 1 – “ I will start walking for 20 minutes a day” – Make your action goals attainable

Action Goal week 2- “I will continue to walk and eat breakfast daily”- What you have done here is reinforced your week one action goal and added a slight modification

Action Goal week 3- “ I will continue with week 1 and 2 goals” and “I will not eat after 6pm”

This will continue for 12 weeks

Action goals MUST be simple and attainable and specific towards your goals

So instead of setting yourself up for failure with an unattainable resolution try setting a goal with a specific timeline that’s achievable

The PROCESS….the will to win???? Do you have it???

Just working away and I asked one of my athletes if he wanted to participate in our upcoming 2016 Big Man camp for OL/DL..he stated no cause he wanted to tryout for a specific all star team and workout..no problem I totally understood

Although, this got me thinking…as a coach my players always here me say – you need to work the process- what do I mean by this? I have no problem with this athlete or any other athlete wanting to play in all star games but I ask this- EVERYONE wants to win but what are you going to do in your athletic and academic process to get there?

I asked Diesel the same question and he said he went to as many camps as possible when he was younger…I asked one of my highly skilled athlete the same question – he attends as many camps as he can afford but does a ton to get better..says he rather spend his money on getting better with great coaching

The process…..learning as much as you can from a variety of coaches….taking these new found attributes in helping you succeed

I think about Michael O’ Connor- Vanier Cup champ and QB- would he be as good as he is by just playing games in Canada? Or by going to camps…training schools in the USA? Probably not- actually CERTAINLY not.

He won on that Saturday because of the work he put in…the process of his development..the hours of training with proper coaching

Agree or disagree but highly skilled athletes spend millions of hours honing their craft-spending endless time on a basketball court/ ice rink/ football field by themselves bettering their game- they went thru the PROCESS of hard endless work

RE:Women and Fat Loss- My Blue Print Nutrition Tip of the day

My Blueprint Nutrition tip of the day!

WOMEN AND FAT

Did you know that the average pregnant women burned almost 2000 less calories per week then their counterparts did in 1965

Why- more modern day devices

What does this mean? More obesity for women and their kids!

The snowball effect has occurred now in this generation as we have more obese kids then ever!

What do you think?
