Training: Conditioning: Cardio Work: Recreate High Altitude Training

Work on a series of breath training by holding your breath. Take in a little bit of air, then let out all your air and go for a walk.  Hold your breath for as many steps as you can take without breathing.  For example, take 10 steps without taking in air and gradually build the number of steps.  This starves your lungs of oxygen.  Do the series once a day eight or ten times in a row.

Training: Recovery: Maximizing Sleep Recovery

Ways to Maximize Napping

1. Peak day sleepiness is reached at around 2-3 p.m.  This is a good time to take a nap.
2. If you know you will be up late, try to take a preemptive nap.
3. Nap length should be around 10-30 minutes.
4. Long naps (90 minutes) can be used sparingly, but can affect sleep later in the evening.
5. Make your environment conducive for napping.

Psychology: Quote - Born to Lie

"It starts really really early. ...babies will fake a cry, and pause and wait to see who is coming, and go right back to crying.  One year olds learn concealment.  Five year olds lie outright; they manipulate via flattery.  Nine year olds are masters of the cover-up.  By the time you enter college, you will lie to your mom in one out of every five interactions."

Sports: Training: Quotes: Out Athlete

"So many guys have learned how to be stronger and faster than the other guys...and learned how to defend certain positions, and hit hard...but they don't have a full all around skills set.  They all got plan As but no plan Bs...when they slow down a step, they lose a little bit, come across a guy who is a little stronger or faster...too good at something that will derail their plan A, they start losing.  When they start losing, they nose dive....  These guys that would mop guys up...they can't sustain a career because they have no technique. [Because] they do not have the finesse...they just became really good really strong, really fast...[they just] out athlete their opponent."
