2. I am very happy to present my newest online partner, Dr Jack Singer. He has some tremendous content on Sports Psychology and Mental Skills Training, and based on what I know and have read about him, is a leader in his field. Here is his info:
Dr. Jack Singer is a nationally recognized, certified Sport Psychologist. He has a Diplomate from the National Institute of Sports Professionals, and this award is only granted to ½ of one percent of all psychologists who apply for it. Dr. Jack works with elite athletes as young as eight and as old as seasoned professionals, in all sports.
In addition, Dr. Jack maintains a special Certification in Clinical Hypnosis, from the American Society of Clinical Hypnosis. A firm believer in “Mind-Body Medicine,” Jack is one of only a dozen or so Sport Psychologists around the U.S. who has this Clinical Hypnosis Certification and he teaches powerful, self-hypnosis skills to all of his athletes. This is truly the “difference maker” for every athlete who wants to not only maintain her/his peak performance skills consistently, but for every athlete who wants to have an “edge” on their competition!

Jerry Rice could regularly be seen on NFL Films and ESPN bringing young receivers along with him to experience it. Even Rocky did it, to get ready to fight the Russian in his fourth movie. For years, we have seen coaches and athletes from all sports and levels incorporating uphill running into their practices and training programs, to improve their performance and demonstrate their dedication to their sport. Whether they involved the tallest mountain in the Arizona desert or the nearest hill at the local park, some of the most grueling training programs out there involve the use of running up an inclined surface. In previous years, coaches and athletes have chosen this mode of training for one simple reason: it is downright hard! Little did they know that a structured plan of uphill running and speed drills can produce tremendous improvements in speed as well! In this article, we will look at how and why this occurs and provide a sample program that athletes can use on their own hills, to take their game speed to the next level! To understand how uphill programming can enhance speed, we must first look at how this is accomplished. We focus on three major factors to improve with training: Continue reading at: http://www.worldwidesportsperformance.com/pdfs/Uphill%20Speed%20Training.pdf Yours in Strength, Jesse
