Maintaining the Balance

New trainer at Synergy Athletics (and new Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist), John Frieser wrote his first article. I sent it over to Scott Bird over at Straight to the Bar, and it went up today. Check out the excerpt:

“An elite athlete must have a number of physical and mental abilities in order to dominate the competition. One of these abilities is balance. Although it is obvious that balance, in the physical sense, greatly contributes to success on the playing field, achieving a general “life balance” is just as critical. Usually the same drive that allows us to push ourselves and compete day in day out also pushes us to take on many activities, jobs and responsibilities at once.

At some point in our lives, we’ve all taken part in the juggling act that is life and have felt overwhelmed by it. We always demand more of ourselves. We compete. We are “doers”. We achieve and we do it all, not because our parents, friends, coaches, or teachers want us to, but because we can’t live without the challenge or the feeling of trying something new.”

John is currently in charge of working on the Synergy Athletics Football Camp, but you will be seeing more posts from him soon!  Also, he will be joining me in the packed Synergy Athletics gym to get these athletes ready for competition!
