Book excerpt: On 2nd June 2009, two men knocked on our door, bringing with them the news that our nineteen-year-old son, Cyrus, had been killed that morning by an IED while serving with 2 Rifles in Afghanistan. Our family as we knew it was destroyed in an instant. I had three sons, a job as a manager in a day centre for people with acquired brain injuries – and suddenly this had changed for ever. People ask me how I've coped, and my answer is that I have written it all down – partly for fear of losing those memories too, and also to try to make some sense of what has happened. This process of madness continues to be part of what has become my new ‘normal'. I have a new life now, which I’m trying desperately to come to terms with – and follow Cyrus’s words from his last letter to us.

Download or read book Athletic Vision Skills written by Dan Selin and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2020-01-29 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An exceptional player will possess top-notch read-and-react skills when on the ice, anticipating where the puck is going because of their well-developed vision skills. This allows maximum peripheral vision to instantly help decide the next physical movement. Throughout his book “Athletic Vision Skills”, Dan Selin explains the science behind well-developed vision skills as the NEW sports skill. Simply put, a player’s expanded field of vision offers more options for the brain to create instant automatic body movements. All good players possess well-developed skating, stickhandling, passing, and shooting skills, but a player’s vision skill-level, once mastered, will change the way they play the game. Well-developed vision skills lessen body injuries and concussions, creating better-skilled and more-valuable players on the ice. Terminology including head-up/chin-up, read-and-react, what’s in your brain is how you play, five head positions, the 140-factor, etc., help explain how a player can effectively play without looking down and tracking the puck, contributing to safer play. Dan’s book presents practical solutions, testimonials from players and sports writers, first-person stories, statistics, newspaper articles, medical professionals’ opinions, and facts. Empirical data collected through studies is used to support the basis of this new frontier for the training of tomorrow’s highly-skilled hockey players.

Book excerpt: Martial arts carries as integral components time-honored principles of personal mastery and athletic performance. Tennis, the sport for a lifetime, has much to learn from accepting and adhering to basic martial arts fundamentals, not only physically and technically but also personally, emotionally, and psychologically. Examining martial arts sheds light on common denominators of athletic performance, which transfer and apply to every sport. An athlete cannot fulfill his potential without focusing on the full panoply of fundamentals: physically tangible and the psychologically and emotionally intangible. Mastering tennis requires completely committing to each and every fundamental, including those that improve attitude and learning skills. Mastering each fundamental represents a journey into improvement and excellence not only for tennis and martial arts as specific disciplines but also for overall personal fulfillment and mastery in life. Embrace a learning mind-set and look for the opportunity to learn from everything. Learn purposefully and with discipline. Stay in the present and focus on what is happening now. Dispense with your ego and go with the flow, fearing nothing. Stay calm and relaxed as the moment is the only thing. Feel yin and yang, flow and force. Breathe fully, relaxing in the present without the self, without fear, and with the mind and body as one. Be ready. Look to the greatest threat. Move from the ground, staying balanced. Set up, and use the earths power to stroke from the ground, driving and rotating through the legs, hips, core, shoulders, arm, and racket. Mastering these fundamentals unlocks the power of action, unleashing the fulfilling power of the self. Paradoxically, dispensing with the selfs ego leads to self-actualization and fulfillment. Learn and master these fundamentals and youll not only become a much better tennis player; youll become a better learner, performer, and athlete. Much more importantly, youll become a better person.
