Pain

Pain is something you don't hear many professional athletes talk about too much. It's not fun to think about, and much less fun to experience, but if you want to be an athlete, you're going to experience pain. Here's a good synopsis of pain and it's various forms. Please read it and be able to recognize the different types so that you may be better prepared when you experience it. Studies show that pain tolerance correlates directly to competitiveness and athletic performance. Don't be scared though, most pain felt through sports is very temporary and the majority of it is positive pain, which means that it's beneficial to your growth as an athlete.

Send me what you got that's relevant to the team and I'll choose the winner. That lucky person get's a pair of Scott poles.

Look at your plate, make a fist, eat that much meat every meal; turn your hand over and fill it with nuts and seeds, eat that much good fat, fill the rest of your plate with stuff you found in the fruit and vegetable aisle. Fill your plate this way at every meal, don't eat more.

Easy right? Times up, yes it is.

Have you ever noticed how crappy you feel after eating junk? And it's literally junk. Hamburger buns are made of flower. Ever tried eating plain flower? You're body treats it like poison. We just mix it with a bunch of other poison until it fools our system into thinking it's food.
