Game Cut Short Due to Rain

Bethesda Big Train News Updates June 12, 2014     On a dark and gloomy Wednesday night, the Bethesda Big Train looked to avenge their loss from the night before as they faced the Youse's Orioles.  In a game that was delayed by 30 minutes due to rain, Jake Valdez (St. Mary's College) got the starting nod for the Big Train and was able to record five outs before the game was called off and rescheduled as a doubleheader on Monday night, June 16th.       After a disappointing night at the plate against Gaithersburg, The Big Train were able to equal their hit total against the Orioles in just the first inning, while also pushing across two runs.        Logan Farrar (Virginia Commonwealth) sliced a doubled to right center field that was just deep enough to score a hustling Stephen Alemais (Tulane) all the way from first base on a close play at home, giving Alemais sole possession of the league lead in runs scored with nine. Johnny Cole (Coastal Carolina) hit a sharp single up the middle that scored Farrar, putting him second in the league in runs scored with eight on the season.       The game will pick up next Monday, June 16th at 4:30 p.m.where the game left off in the top of the second inning with the Big Train leading 2-0 as a doubleheader. The Youse's Orioles were already scheduled to return to Povich Field on this date for a game at 7:30 p.m. Tickets that were purchased for last night's game will be good for any future regular season Big Train home game.

VIDEO Reveals SECRETS to Transform Your Body Faster

Even sugar is healthier than this sweetener

The Sour Side of Artificial Sweeteners Despite the lure of an easy way to cut calories and lower blood sugar, scientific studies suggest artificial sweeteners are dangerous. Sugar substitutes can affect your appetite and even make you do more of the very thing you're trying to prevent—crave and eat sugar-sweetened foods that are packed with calories and fat. Here's the story. . . Continued below… Why are these doctors canceling colonoscopies? This video is not for the faint of heart. These recently discovered details are gruesome…but they change everything we know about colonoscopies. And many doctors will not reveal this information to their patients. Why? Because they can't stand to part with the $7,000 (or more) price tags. Just watch one minute of this presentation and you'll understand--canceling your next colonoscopy could be the best decision you've ever made for your health. When you're ready--visit here. If you're 50, and especially if you're over 65--you must watch this presentation. This new information regarding colonoscopies couldsave your life.  In 2008, Dr. Susan Swithers, professor of behavioral neuroscience at Purdue University, discovered that laboratory animals that ate foods sweetened with sugar substitutes ended up eating more calories, which caused them to pack on more body fat than did rodents that ate food sweetened with regular sugar. According to Dr. Swithers, "Animals, including humans, normally finish a meal long before they have digested all the nutrients." In other words, "they use cues to predict how much they have actually eaten and when to stop." Researchers believe that artificial sweeteners interfere with the biological signals that tell you to stop eating. You'd probably agree that this sounds like a HUGE PROBLEM for folks trying to cut calories and prevent weight gain! But at least they help you control blood sugar, right? High blood sugar is another reason people use artificial sweeteners, and perhaps a better one. More than 20 million Americans struggle to control their blood sugar. And if you or someone you love is one of them, you may already know about the distressing health problems it can cause. People with high blood sugar can develop a variety of life-threatening conditions – most obviously diabetes – but also including: High blood pressure Heart disease Stroke Blindness Kidney disease or failure Nervous system damage High blood sugar – also called prediabetes – is the underlying cause of a whole array of dangerous health problems. It puts you at much higher risk of cancer. So, no surprise, many folks opt for low-calorie artificial sweeteners to mix in their coffee and tea, to eat in their chocolate and hard candies, or to sweeten other foods while cutting their daily sugar intake. Artificial sweeteners seem harmless to most people. The government and the mainstream medical profession tell us they're safe. And the amount you consume seems tiny. Just a little powder from a blue, pink or yellow packet can go a long way. That's because these substitutes taste sweeter than refined white sugar. In fact, some sugar substitutes can be anywhere from 30 to 8,000 times sweeter than table sugar (sucrose). Yet they have few or no calories. Each gram of refined table sugar contains four calories versus zero calories per gram for sugar substitutes. It seems like an attractive, easy way to lower your blood sugar and cut calories. Don't fall for it! There's a possible cancer connection… Research shows that possible cancer risks are associated with some artificial sweeteners. Let's start with a really popular artificial sweetener, known as saccharin sodium. Most of us recognize it by its brand name Sweet 'n Low—in the little pink packet. Although this sugar substitute is sweeter than sucrose, it leaves a bitter aftertaste. You'll find it in a wide variety of products, including soft drinks, candy, biscuits, medicine, and even toothpaste. After studies in the early 1970s linked saccharin consumption to bladder cancer in rats, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) mandated that a warning label be placed on products containing saccharin sodium, citing potential health risks. It was not confirmed that the substance raises the risk of bladder cancer in humans, so the warning label was precautionary. Then came a 1997 report issued by the Center for the Science in Public Interest (CSPI) concluding there is no consistent evidence that saccharin causes bladder cancer. The FDA decided to allow companies to remove the cancer warning from the product packaging. What they fail to acknowledge is that CSPI still advised you to avoid saccharin, based on the studies suggesting it may act as a carcinogen in humans. Newer alternatives may pose the same threat! Another popular artificial sweetener is aspartame, which you may know by its brand names of Equal or NutraSweet. You're likely to encounter it, because it's in more than 6,000 sugar-free products, including diet sodas, gelatin desserts, and yogurts. People who eat this stuff (count me out) say that aspartame tastes better than saccharin. The amazing thing is that a 22-year study commissioned by the National Cancer Institute and the National Institutes of Health found a clear associationbetween aspartame consumption and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and leukemia! So why is this stuff still on the market? It amounts to a little government sleight-of-hand trickery! Before the results of this 22-year study were published, the longest study available was a measly four-and-a-half months—which is far too short to determine the possible dangers of eating something every day for years. There's an abundance of these short-term trials, which is how study teams get away with saying that aspartame is one of the 'most studied food additives' in history and that no health concerns have ever been discovered! It sounds impressive until you know the facts. They don't know the long-term effects because they don't look. Basically, if a food additive doesn't cause immediate or obvious damage, the FDA permits it to be labeled safe. Few or no human studies are conducted to find out the effect of five, ten or twenty years of heavy use. But CSPI isn't joining in with the cheers and applause for aspartame, saccharine and other artificial sweeteners. Their recommendation is, 'when in doubt, do without.' Aspartame might not be so popular if people knew this: When it's warmed to more than 86 degrees Fahrenheit., the wood alcohol in the product changes to formaldehyde. Considering the body's temperature is more than 98 degrees Fahrenheit. it kind of makes you wonder. Or do you think folks might be concerned if they knew formaldehyde is known to increase the risk of developing breast and prostate cancer? You should also know recent studies in Europe found that the formaldehyde in aspartame can accumulate in your brain—and seriously damage yourcentral nervous system and immune system. So if, like me, you suspect that artificial sweeteners could raise your cancer risk, it's probably best to just avoid them! References: Mann, D. 2006. Are artificial sweeteners safe? WebMD website.

Goooooooooaaaaaallll! 2

Hi Nate Here. 

When I sent this last week the demand was off the chain from players of all ages, their parents and coaches. So by popular demand, here is a sample of our Soccer Conditioning Programs:

Soccer

                                                                             
The sport of Soccer requires the combination of muscular endurance, strength and the ability to generate explosive sprinting power over and over again. Developing these physical attributes will always be positive no matter what sport one competes in. However, because of the aerobic challenges of playing soccer these physical qualities are even more important. Engaging in a resistance training program like the Competitive Soccer Program will maximize these physical attributes as well as the intangibles of injury prevention and proper body positioning when competing against an opponent for offensive and defensive ball control. The Soccer Fitness program will also help in the development of these physical attributes, but it focuses primarily on fitness rather than a high level performance!

The Soccer Programs begin with lower weights and higher repetitions to create a solid conditioning base for the muscles. Then, transition from this muscular endurance base into a strength and power focus by using heavier weights and less reps as the weeks progress will occur.

Throughout the length of the Soccer Programs, the manipulation of the sets and repetitions for each exercise will be based on periodization concepts that involve changing the intensity and the volume of the workouts.

The starting point of the program is based on an initial fitness level. With feedback, the actual progression of the program will follow the body's unique adaptation process to exercise. Fine tune the program to include all the exercises that feel the best.
