KEYS TO SUCCESS WITH QUADREPLEGICS!!!
KEYS TO SUCCES S WITH QUADREPLEGICS!!!
Have you ever complained about the taste of your cappuccino? Have you used a few swear words when your DVD is not playing? Or when the weather is too hot?…then check this out.
Polaris Global has just released an insane documentary about the Sadler’s Ultra Challenge Wheelchair Race called “Unbeaten”. The Sadler’s Ultra Challenge is a 267-mile wheelchair race from Fairbanks to Anchorage, Alaska. It is the world’s longest wheelchair race. Divisions include Men’s Handcycle (with A, B, and C classes), Men’s Wheelchair, and Women’s Handcycle. The 267 mile (430 km)-long race is run in eight stages and takes six days to complete. The annual competition began in 1984 and occurs in July of each year. Tremendous courage and self reliance is shown by Oz Sanchez (USA) ,Ernst van Dyk (South Africa) and Paul Nunnari (Australia). All participants from any level have overcome tremendous adversity within their own lives. From living a ‘normal ‘ life to becoming disabled (don’t like to use that word) is a tremendous slap in the face. Sometimes it takes a tragedy to turn things around. Some of the wheelchairs racers even went on to achieve success as top athletes.
With huge honors I was privileged to meet both Sanchez (Gold Medal winner Olympic Games Beijing, China) and Paul Nunnery (Olympic athlete, winner of Sadler’s race) at a conference about building confidence and how to succeed in life; whatever your definition is about success. Paul Nunnari summed it up so beautifully:
“I don’t dwell on it; there’s nothing that I can’t do,” he said. “Since my accident, I’ve believed so strongly in living your life and embracing your dreams”.
“People’s limitations in any kind of disability are the limitations they put on themselves. If you don’t have any issues about it you don’t have any limitations”.
“Despite what may cross our path in life, having an inherent belief in your ability to achieve what you set your mind to is in all of us no matter what our situation.”
To me this is so profound and authentic. Are you still complaining about your coffee?

GOING DOWNHILL…WITH GRATITUDE FOR HERMANN MAIER
ACHIEVING SUCCESS IN VANCOUVER OLYMPIC GAMES 2010
Being a real ski ‘bum’ myself I am always super excited when the winter Olympics are coming up. My favorite event is, with no doubt the Alpine skiing (particularly the Downhill). Having skied the famous world cup run in Kitzbuhl myself (not in competition but on my holidays, may I add) I do have some sort of an indication about the level of self confidence and self reliance the top skiers must have in how to succeed when they go down these insane runs.
Alpine skiing has been practiced in the European Alps for at least 150 years. In addition to adapting cross-country techniques to suit their steeper slopes, alpine skiers also found they needed slightly wider skis to go downhill safely, and developed different ways to use their poles and new turning techniques to match the more vertical terrain of the high mountains.
Alpine skiing for both men and women debuted as an Olympic sport in 1936 at Garmisch-Partenkirchen. In 1948, separate downhill and slalom races were added. From that time, super combined was not contested at an Olympic Winter Games until 1988, in Calgary. The giant slalom was added in 1952, and the super-G in 1988.
The downhill event features the longest course and the highest speeds in alpine skiing. Each skier makes a single run down a single course. The fastest time determines the winner.
How to succeed for the Canadian team will probably come down to the right selection as there will be fierce competition within the Canadian team(Guay, Kucera, Hudec and Osborne-Paradis). Maybe this will lead to beating the Austrians. With the retirement of Hermann Maier, the Austrians will have to come up with a bunch of success strategies. And what a super location for the Olympics, having great memories from Whistler myself. I just can’t wait
With gratitude for the legend Hermann Maier!!!!

Achieve succes with building your self image!!
ACHIEVE SUCCES WITH BUILDING YOUR SELF IMAGE!
During my training and coaching experiences with top and Olympic athletes I was so intrigued about the learning process of athletes and people in general. I was completely fascinated and absorb by the ability and change that young talented players could succeed in their sporting career. Unfortunately I have seen so many talented players who didn’t succeed while they had the potential to do so. Why is that? Why do we see so many talented people around us who are so capable and have everything going for them not succeed?
During my final year at university I wrote my thesis about talent development and I was so curious to find out why so much talent goes wasted. During our selection period for qualification of the youth National team we went through extensive selection periods to select the most talented players. Not all of these young players developed themselves to achieve success as a top athlete. As a matter of fact only the 3 % will make it to an Olympic games.
During my research one of the main factors in talent development is the importance of their self- image and of the role their image can play in the creation and upgrading of the self-image/building confidence. The self-image can be changed since the subconscious is incapable of differentiating between real success and a success imagined again and again vividly and in full detail.
Winners feel the emotion of the gold medal, they feel the emotion about achieving goals before they achieved them, they gain confidence by repeating those feelings vividly and consistently, they feel the self-esteem of their personal achievement in advance! Your behaviour and performance- in sport, in business, in relationships- usually are consistent with yourself image.
Winners control their self-image and change it as they desire. They elevate their self-image and enlarge their universe. What do you “see” for you today? Who will you be tomorrow? Think Win! There is no time to lose!
