...I often get questions of why the ELITE blog has so little to do with the physical aspect of high-performance training...WHEN THAT IS WHAT WE DO?

...my answer is that the PHYSICAL COMPONENT TO WHAT ELITE DOES...is the easy part!!

...the SCIENCE that our programs are steeped in- ARE non-negotiable physiological principles...that work every time...= EASY...


ALSO, when you are here at ELITE PERFORMANCE @ THE RINK (91 LOWSON...YOU NEED TO SEE THIS PLACE!)...YOU are part of THE NATION...AND we have all your physical needs taken care of...from Medical, Therapy, Massage, Nutrition, Training....anything you may need...PHYSICALLY...

...AGAIN...THE PHYSICAL COMPONENT...JUST ADD EXTREME EFFORT AND IT IS EASY!


...THERE IS A COMPONENT OF WHAT WE DO...THAT DOESN'T RELY ON SCIENCE...

...WE RELY ON THE EXPERIENCE AND WHAT WE HAVE LEARNED OVER THE LAST 2 DECADES OF TRAINING SOME OF THE WORLDS BEST ATHLETES!!!!


...in my blog, just as THE ELITE PROFESSIONAL TEAM does at the RINK, I try to impart some of what I have learned over the last (Nearly 20 years) of training PRO-ATHLETES....



....as I was fielding one of these comments yesterday....I heard the familiar chime of the email notification...a note from a member of the NATION....that seemed to provide the COLEs NOTES of just what YOU ARE CAPABLE OF....when you choose the RIGHT TEAM!

well fISH this weeks will mark the two years since I started breaking a sweat at the box.  It has been quite a journey...50 lbs lost- from 24% down to 6% and back up to a more appropriate 10%. Knee surgery (followed 2 weeks later by a half marathon) numerous aches, pains, all successfully treated such that no events were missed or substantially compromised, 4 MARATHONS, MT EVEREST, NUMEROUS TRIATHLONS and even an IRONMAN with many more on the horizon...thanks for making my quality of life as superior as I am fortunate to enjoy....
(slightly edited for length)

...after receiving this email from a person that I admire and respect...

....it reminds me of just how the RIGHT MIX of science-experience and EFFORT...
....can change a life...

it is nothing fancy...JUST ELITE "BARE BONES"

...NO SECRETS- JUST SCIENCE- HARD WORK- AND THE RIGHT TEAM!

IT IS YOUR WORLD...IS IT ELITE?

Until next time ELITE NATION,
Onward and Upward,
Your pal,
fISH

...thank you to ELITE-Super Athlete James Umlah for the reminder of just what TWO short years can bring.
