		<title>Sport Specific vs Athletic Performance</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Many times when speaking to our athletes and parents the question of sport specific training comes up. "Is this sport specific?"I often answer with a yes and no answer. At the core of our training is the principle of Athletic Performance. When distilled the concept of athletic performance versus sport specific performance is a very different one. Game specific skills and knowledge are the result of training, experience, and practice within that discipline. Athletic performance is the ability to perform within competitive situations with power, agility, balance, and body awareness, that can be applied to all sports. This is the result of a balanced body with good range of motion, strength, and flexibility. This is an important distinction to make because it makes what we do more clear.]]></description>

		<title>Quality not Quantity</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One thing I see as a trainer and feel very strongly about communicating to my athletes, is the type of work they are doing in a given exercise. This entry will have some ties to my Form writing, so bear with me.
As I had said that correct form and execution of an exercise are critical, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Super Running Treadmill</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I wanted to take a minute and talk about our running treadmills. At first glance they may appear as industrial versions of their more familiar health club brethren, not so&#8230;.And the &#8220;they&#8217;re really fast, and really high&#8221; description bestowed upon them by first time viewers is far too narrow.
Their specifications allow for higher speeds, and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Athletic Republic on Flexibility and Stretching:</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Stretching is one of the most often neglected and misunderstood components of athletic well-being and training. When? How much? How long? What kind? These are all questions about it that need to be asked by the athlete and then thought through with their trainer or coach. The short answer is there&#8217;s no &#8220;right&#8221; answer for [...]]]></description>

		<title>How&#8217;s your form ?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Form gets many definitions in the dictionary. One which I liked for this entry is &#8220;the essence of something&#8220;. When we coach form or speak of it in regards to an exercise our desire is to impress upon the athlete a fundamental understanding of the exercise or movement occurring.  We coach to form in order [...]]]></description>

		<title>It&#8217;s that Olympic Time of Year Again</title>
		<description><![CDATA[o it's that Olympic time of year again and everyone's attention is on Vancouver. We all watch the multitude of events and follow the medal race and root for the US athlete. We follow some names made in the event, Apolo Ohno, Seth Wescott, Lindsey Vonn, and Hannah Kearney. We're disappointed when the US doesn't win, but do we really understand the sacrifices made by these athletes and what it takes them to get where they got? The Olympics are a great reminder and they thrust athletics, in every form, into the spotlight for 2 weeks. What we are reminded of though, is dedication.]]></description>
