Reflections/Thoughts from Today’s Morning Walk – December 18, 2017

Training should always be FUNdamental.

In the developmental athlete, physical competency development should parallel technical and tactical development.

Learn from the past but don’t live there.

The good old days probably were not as good as we old guys like to think they were.

Are we making HRV measurement out to be more than what is there? One physiological measure taken in isolation can be misleading – remember the rush to lactate analysis?

I wonder if sometimes progress is stifled as much by what we know as what we don’t know.

Last but not least as was driving to my downtown Sarasota Office (AKA Pastry Arts coffee shop on main street) after my morning walk I was listening to Louis Armstrong beautiful rendition of What a Wonderful World. As messed up as this world may seem when you read and hear these words you can’t help but think better of the world.

What a Wonderful World

I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself what a wonderful world

I see skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night
And I think to myself what a wonderful world

The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shaking hands saying how do you do
They’re really saying I love you

I hear babies crying, I watch them grow
They’ll learn much more than I’ll never know
And I think to myself what a wonderful world
Yes I think to myself what a wonderful world
