Coaches, Pay Yourselves First

Presented on US Sports Net By Volt Athletics

Volt HQ/ Cletus Coffey

Volt coach Tyler Hales talks to his football team at La Jolla Country Day high school in California.

Coaching is a selfless career.

The boundaries of a coach, in today's modern profession, extend beyond just the field and the season. As a coach, you give of yourself year-round to players, staff, parents, the entire program, and they all demand your time and attention.

After a long day at the office, you then give of yourself to your children, spouse, the program at home, and they all demand your time and attention.

It’s not hard to see that as a coach, you have very little time for yourself.

In the world of personal finance, advisors will tell you to pay yourself first. When money comes in, you hold off paying anybody else—such as Uncle Sam and day-to-day living expenses—and pay yourself off the top. If you are to do it the other way around, pay yourself last, there is guaranteed to be nothing left for you.

In coaching, the same principle is true. You need to take care of yourself first, before giving of yourself to others. If you do it another way around, you will most likely be in a situation most coaches are in today. Giving to everyone else, with very little time for themselves.

Finding time for you is an important part of caring for yourself and your health.

However, it is a challenge. Just saying you want to make time for yourself is not going to cut it. You need to have a game plan. Without structuring your day and making a game plan for your own well-being, it’s not going to happen.

Map it Out

One easy and effective way to help you achieve all you need for your family, team, and self, is by mapping out your ideal day.

Here are some suggestions for planning your ideal day.

1. Make a list of all the places you want and need to spend your time.
2. Rank them in order of priority. (Hint: You are number one.)
3. Design your day how you want it to look like, not how other coaches, or the industry does it. This is a critical piece. Far too many coaches feel the need to follow what their coach did, or what the majority of other coaches are doing. If you are spending the time to read this, you want more than just mediocrity. So avoid settling for it like so many do.
4. Be honest with yourself. If you want to make exercise, meditation, reading, or even sleep a priority, then factor that in. Just because other coaches skip these self-investing activities because they are caught up watching game film, doesn’t mean you have to.
5. Be detailed. What are you doing from the time you get up, until you lay your head down to rest?
6. Stick to it.

The Takeaway

It is important for coaches to find time for themselves. Improving yourself mentally, physically, and emotionally will help improve your work as a coach, mentor, spouse, and parent. Just like you do for your team, you need to game-plan how you find time for yourself.

Start by game-planning your ideal day. Then, put your plan in your calendar on your phone, complete with reminder alarms if you need them. Now all you need to do is execute, which is of course what you always tell your players—right, coach?

The Truth About Cancer Featuring: Breast Cancer at 32 - A Story of Resilience - Leanna’s Cancer Survivor Story

This week’s cancer survivor story features Leanna, a brave breast cancer survivor who faced many big decisions at a young age. Watch the full video to hear what choices she made for her health. [Video Below] Leanna was sitting, alone, in her car when she got the call from her doctor. And she was completely unprepared for what he had to tell her: she had breast cancer. She was floored, unable to think straight. She was only 32. And she knew how deadly breast cancer could be at her age. As Leanna is someone devoted to holistic and natural health, she was fully aware of how toxic and damaging chemotherapy and radiation is. Find out what she chose instead, because she was told that it was the only way to avoid radiation. Still, she thought she was home-free from chemo. A panel of 12 doctors had told her she didn’t need it. That’s until she got word that – because of a test that showed she’d have a 20% chance of recurrence even if she took Tamoxifen – she had to have chemo after all. And it was at this low point, when each day was filled with fear and anxiety about what to do next, that she discovered The Truth About Cancer. And it changed her life. Tune in to find out more about Leanna’s journey, including practicing self compassion, meditation, and more.

Stresses Of Being A Law Enforcement Officer and Downshifting

The following video was put together as part of a final project for a capstone course in the Democracy and Justice Studies program at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay, it acts as both a tribute to law enforcement, and an analysis into the current and past issues law enforcement faces in respect to social movements and public pressure. [Video Below]

Every single day, the government is fighting to rid us of our rights.

• The right to speak our minds.

• The right to bear arms.

• The right to exercise our own free will.

And it’s only going to get worse.

I believe law abiding citizens should be free to go about their business without being detained or molested by officers of the law. To feel secure in their own homes.

To have a way to defend themselves without being considered a criminal.

Trouble is, you’re the only one playing by the rules.

The criminals don’t care they’re breaking the law. Carrying weapons in public places. Attacking innocents for a quick cash grab (or worse).

To combat this growing threat, we’ve developed a new self-defense item.

To fight back when the situation calls.

It’s called the Strikepen Black™

A discreet self-defense tool that you can carry with you at all times.

Downshifting

By: Tara Hewitt

Would you like to work less and live more? "The trouble with the rat race is, even if you win, you are still a rat." Lily Tomlin Would you like to change to a less demanding work schedule in order to enjoy life more? Do you want to slow down at work in order to 'upshift' in other areas of your life? Would you like to spend more time with your family, invest more time in your hobbies, or are you motivated by a desire to live a less materialistic and more sustainable life? Who hasn't wanted to step off the ever-accelerating treadmill of work, and gain some balance in life? Most of us, at one time or another, have wanted to move from the fast track of life to a more satisfying, healthier, less work-focused lifestyle. This concept is referred to as "downshifting". The stresses imposed on our body, mind and spirit by living in the rat race can lead to ill health that affects every part of our being. In contrast, by simplifying our lives and freeing up our time, we have the potential not only to heal ourselves, but also to maintain our optimum wellbeing and increase our overall happiness. What is a downshifter? Downshifters can be defined as people who make a voluntary, long term, lifestyle change that involves accepting less income and consuming less. 'Sea-changers' and 'tree-changers' may be thought of as sub-groups of downshifters (The Australia Institute, 2003). An Australian Newspoll survey indicates that 23 per cent of Australian adults aged 30-59 have downshifted over the last 10 years. Men and women; people in their thirties, forties and fifties; families with and without children; blue-collar and white-collar workers - they are all just as likely to make the life change (The Australia institute, 2003). Why downshift? Downshifters may be pursuing a more balanced and fulfilled life; they may want to spend more time with their families; they may be motivated by a desire to live a less materialistic and more sustainable life. They may make the change following a sudden event such as a severe illness, the death of someone close or a marriage breakdown. More often, the decision follows a longer process of questioning (The Australia Institute, 2003). How do we downshift? We can downshift by working fewer hours in our present job, or by accepting a job with less responsibility. We can quit our job and find another one that we find more rewarding. Or we can start our own part or full-time business, perhaps working from home. Sometimes downshifters find they make more money, but are happier and more fulfilled - usually because they have found something that fires their passion, and work is no longer work. If you are thinking of downshifting the first practical step is figuring out how to work less, freeing up time for valued activities. When you cut back on expenses (which you will do by living simply), you will find you can live on less income and consequently work fewer hours. Potential downshifters need to ask themselves: " Where am I now? What is it about my current circumstances that I can no longer tolerate? " Where do I want to be? Develop a clear vision of how you would like your life to be! " Look at all the options for your downshift - can you stay in your current job and work less hours? Do you want to pursue another career or start your own business? Can you do your current work from home or go to part time hours? Get as much information about all the options as you can. " Work out the financial implications and plan accordingly - you may need to seek financial advice. " Communicate with others involved - your family, your workplace if appropriate. " Put it all together and take action to make it a reality!

Tara Hewitt is a personal life coach with interests including downshifting, work-life balance, and living simply and sustainably.

Positive Attitude - Is it the Hardest Job in the World?

By: Tomislav Tomic

What do you think is the hardest job in the world? Is it being a surgeon... lawyer... priest... professor... musician... writer... policeman...? Personally, I think that the hardest job in the world is forming the habit of thinking about the particular kind of reality that we wish to experience. By that I do not mean just the moments when we are feeling all right and we think everything is great. Rather, I am referring to thinking about it during the entire day regardless of what is happening around us. But, why is it so hard to think constantly about what we want to experience? If there is something that we love and desire for, would it not make sense if it were the one and only focus of our thoughts? Thinking about what we love and want in our lives can often be very hard precisely because we have not been taught to think that way. Indeed, not many people have had a chance to be taught from their early childhood that the way we think and look at the world is the crucial factor in creating the things which we experience in our lives. From our earliest days we learn to listen hearing people complaining about life's circumstances and blaming "others" for the problems they have. Without questioning, we are beginning to accept the patterns of thinking handed down to us by our parents, teachers, politicians, priests, and others, and accepted them as our own. Such adopted ways of thinking have brought us into the reality that we are experiencing, and our experience of such reality has only strengthened our beliefs which created the reality in the first place. We have all heard people say, "Have I not told you so... listen to me, I know better." We have been taught to see things that have happened in our life as "givens" which cannot be changed, and that the best way to deal with it is to figure out how to blend into this given reality. Be as it may, be aware that what we call "our reality" is not something that is happening independent of us, but our reality is a direct consequence of the thoughts we have been engaging in the most. If you wish to alter the reality you live in right now, you must change your way of thinking, and as a consequence of the change in your thought pattern you will experience a new reality which will be in harmony with your new way of thinking. However, thinking about what we want is not hard for the reason that it is objectively hard; instead, it is hard because we have developed a long-term habit of thinking and talking about the things we do not wish to have in our lives. How do we change this habit? We can change this habit by practicing every day how to focus our attention to that which we wish to create in our lives, no matter what the issue is. In the same way that we form our muscles by lifting weights, we can also create a new reality by focusing our attention on new thought patterns. The more you exercise, the easier and more fun it gets. The principle is the same: we are just dealing with a different kind of creating. Of course, it is clear that this is no easy task, but does that matter when your life is in question? The more you speak and think about what you wish to create and subsequently experience, the easier it will be for you to think even more about what you wish, and to take practical steps toward achieving your goals. So do your mental "workouts" daily in the sense that you need to create a gradual and conscious habit of thinking and speaking only of those things that make you happy. All other thoughts are simply to be rejected. They are not for you.

DR. O: MODIFYING THE KETOGENIC DIET FOR YOUR FITNESS GOAL

Presented On uS Sports Net by BPI Sports!

• By Team BPI
 

James Grage: Let’s talk about variations on the keto diet. Let’s say that it’s a guy who’s in his mid-twenties to mid-thirties. He goes to the gym five days a week. He wants to build muscle, or he wants to maintain lean muscle and he says, “I don’t want to follow a true ketogenic diet, I want to follow a modified diet. I hear that I can consume carbohydrates around my workout for recovery and muscle size.” Knowing that a lot of cell volume is coming from fluid, which is coming from our body holding glycogen in the muscle, when you deplete the carbs, you deplete the glycogen, you lose a lot of water weight. Most people would be happy about the initial weight loss, but for a guy who’s trying to get a nice pump in the gym, he’ll notice he can’t get the same kind of pump anymore. If this guy wanted to try a low-carb or modified keto diet, but didn’t want to lose his pump in the gym, what’s the answer?

Dr. Brett Osborn: I get that constantly here in my clinic. You’re gonna look flatter. No question about it. Bodybuilders have the same problem. You know the deal, they ride that fine line where they’re all glycogen depleted and then they’re playing the game with the Oreos the night before.

James: Before they step on stage.

Dr. O: Right. So you are gonna come in flat, you are gonna have an issue getting a pump and my usual question is, “Is this about health? Or are you trying to be a professional bodybuilder?” And then they don’t have an answer for me and that’s the talk in this clinic. It is not about aesthetics. The look is a side effect of the health. Period. That said, you can stack your carbohydrates before and after your workout, even though I like it when people train on a fast, and you’ll have that nice pump if that’s what you want.

James: Just to clarify, this is a modified, modified keto diet. Let’s call this a modified “muscle-building” keto diet. This is for the guy who wants to maintain a pump in the gym but wants some of the weight-loss benefits the rest of the day. Out of that 50-100g of carbohydrates a day, this guy can take a lot of those around his workout…

Dr. O: Which is what we recommend.

James: …but is he gonna go eat a salad? Is he going to only eat carbs below 20 on the glycemic index? Or for this particular person, is it okay to go ahead and bring in carbs slightly higher on the glycemic index (GI)?

Dr. O: I usually tell them no. That’s my recommendation. If they are living on my protocol, which is less than 20, I tell them to look for foods in the 30-40 GI range. In the morning, because I don’t want a high insulin signal at night, right? You want to have a low insulin signal and really enhanced fat burning at night. Train in the morning, then go to that 40 column.

James: Give me an example of carbs that fall between 20 and 40 on the glycemic index. Carbs that this guy could consume in the morning, centered around his workout.

Dr. O: Apples, apricots, cranberries, raspberries, blueberries, strawberries, sweet potatoes…

James: What about grains? A lot of people like oatmeal. Does that fall in the category above that?

Dr. O: I think oatmeal is about 55 and people normally go, “I thought oatmeal was really good!” No.

James: Just a recap. And I think this is an important point to make because there’s a lot of confusion when it comes to people who want to go to the gym and they want to build muscle thinking that a ketogenic diet is right for them. That’s where I say, “It really depends on what your goal is.” So if you’re this 28-year-old guy and you want to go to the gym and you want to get awesome pumps, a keto diet isn’t necessarily right for you. And there’s nothing wrong with that. If your goal is aesthetics – big muscles, big pump – a low-carb diet isn’t for you.

Dr. O: It’s never going to be conducive to building muscle. Ever. You are, by definition, catabolic. What’s happening is that you are generating a relatively muscle-sparing, ketogenic state and all you’re doing is you’re uncovering that muscle. Therefore, you think that you’ve gotten bigger, but you haven’t.

James: For someone out there trying to decide, “Is keto right for me?” If this person goes to the gym five days a week, wants to maintain lean muscle, wants to be leaner, but also wants to be healthier… What can a person expect when it comes to lean muscle, or the aesthetic component? I know I’m gonna be healthier, I know I’m going to train my body to burn fat as a source of fuel, but what am I gonna look like? Can I maintain a certain amount of lean muscle? What is a reasonable expectation?

Dr. O: The only time I’ve recommended a classic ketogenic diet is for somebody that is truly obese. For example, I had someone here today that was 50% body fat. 50%!

James: So except in this rare case, you never recommend a true, traditional ketogenic diet?

Dr. O: No.

James: It’s always modified. So on one spectrum you’ve got a group that’s keeping their carbs on the lower side and also staying on the lower side of the glycemic index (20 and under). You’ve got another group that’s a little more performance oriented and they can go to the higher end of the 100g/day and get into the 20-40 range on the glycemic index, revolving around their workouts. So for that person there, what is reasonable to expect as far as their look? And performance, too. Like a CrossFitter for example. They’re not just doing it to see how many reps they can do; of course they want to look a certain way.

Dr. O: Well we have some metabolic trickery that we use here, some “medical technology” that can help with that, but at base level this is all about health.

James: And you and I have discussed this a lot. I’ve told you flat out that’s why I’ve never gone to a full blown, all-the-time low-carb diet. That’s why I do cycling – three days of low carbs, three days of higher carbs – trying to find that happy medium where I still get the performance in the gym. But I’m glad you brought this up because there are a lot of people out there who look great. They look like a bodybuilder or a smaller version of it. You see them on Instagram, they’re ripped up, got a ton of muscle and they say, “Hey, I’m on a straight ketogenic diet.” and people are like, “Hey, look at him! He’s on a ketogenic diet! He’s doing it!” So let’s talk candidly about that. People who are maintaining that kind of lean muscle on a ketogenic diet, we know that they’re supplementing their diet with anabolics.

Dr. O: Ya, they’re on something else.

Preventing and Solving Crime by Reading the Criminal Mind

By: George Babnick

New mind-reading technology allows law enforcement and even private companies to look inside your brain for criminal intent The Holy Grail of law enforcement is the ability to prevent a crime or terrorist attack before it happens. Precious lives and millions of dollars in damage could be saved if we could only see attacks coming and take actions to stop them before the worst happens. Reading the criminal mind has long been a subject of thought and speculation and is a popular theme in science fiction stories, such as the Tom Cruise movie Minority Report. And while "pre-crime" as seen in the movie is still nothing but a fantasy, technologies are being developed to help us see criminals and terrorists coming before they strike. One new example of this is the Cogito Interrogation System developed by Israel-based Suspect Detection Systems Inc. The Cogito Interrogation System is an advanced and fully automated biometric interrogation system intended to detect the physiological clues to hostile intent present in criminal minds. The name stems from the old Latin saying, "Cogito ergo sum," "I think, therefore I am." In Cogito’s case, it would be, "I think about my future crimes, therefore I am guilty." Cogito Interrogation System was developed following the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001. The hijackers who caused such death and destruction entered the United States legally, bringing with them no weapons or illicit items. The only dangerous thing they brought with them was their intent to do harm, and it is that criminal intent that the Cogito Interrogation System is intended to detect. An attacker gets in your face. You have 3 seconds to react. 2… 1… That’s it. Time’s up. What would you do? In these few seconds, the decision you make could change your life. • Do you hide and cower in fear? • Do you stand tall and fight back? I understand it can be hard to know until you’re faced with this same situation. But I can promise you one thing. If you’re prepared. If you’re armed. If you’re ready to fight. You’re going to be a survivor. You’re going to have the element of surprise. You’re going to strike hard and fast with a tool that amplifies your attack. Which is where the Strikepen Black™ comes in.

Cogito Technology Advances Beyond the Polygraph Law enforcement and security professionals are aware of the technology that the polygraph offers and the ability of a qualified operator to analyze changes in physiological processes such as heartbeat, blood pressure, and respiration detected by the polygraph. From this the operator can form a conclusion if someone is lying or telling the truth. However, when it comes to the polygraph, some in the law enforcement and legal fields disagree about its application and trustworthiness. Because polygraph tests involve humans with various degrees of expertise and subjectivity in analyzing information, they are not considered reliable enough to be admissible evidence in court. The only exception is when both parties in litigation consent to admitting polygraph results, which rarely happens. A traditional polygraph test happens like this: the investigator asks the individual being tested a variety of different questions. Some of these questions will lead to answers in which both involved parties know the right answer. The investigator then asks questions to which both parties know that the answers are obviously lies. This is to verify the accuracy of the polygraph. After this initial set of questions, the questions of interest then begin. Based on blood pleasure and electric pulses in the skin, it is possible to uncover whether a question triggers a physical reaction in the individual being questioned—a physical reaction that often accompanies a lie. Because some people are skilled at persuading themselves they are not lying and because human analysis is required, some people essentially have the ability to "beat" polygraph exams or at least produce inconclusive results. Cogito technology, on the other hand, is constructed differently than a polygraph. Unlike a polygraph, the Cogito Interrogation System is based upon the premise that all criminals, including members of a terrorist organization, have one thing in common: the fear of being caught. It is not dependent on human analysis and is designed to detect much more than whether a person is just telling a lie. The Cogito Interrogation System deciphers an individual's answers not only in relation to any other responses, but also those of an expansive peer group determined by a range of security factors. How The Cogito Interrogation System Works The entire Cogito Interrogation System is contained in a briefcase about the size of a typical laptop computer. In lieu of attaching electrodes to a person like in a polygraph, a Cogito Interrogation System interview involves the selected person simply placing their hand in a sensor, which non-invasively records biometrics such as skin conductivity and also measures sweat and salts excreted by the body of the individual in question. An automated questionnaire is utilized in which the person being questioned answers 15-20 questions on a screen. Cogito then uses software containing a strong set of advanced and special algorithms that take various aspects of an individual’s thought process into consideration, and can even recognize patterns in a group of suspects. It includes a mixture of tailored interrogation techniques, audiovisual components, and a customized set of highly developed calculations and formulas to scrutinize outputs of a possible suspect's Parasympathetic Nervous System. Based on the responses recorded by the sensor and the computer calculations and formulas, Cogito then determines whether or not the interviewed person has criminal intent and should be considered a suspect. Uses for the Cogito Interrogation System While intended to prevent crimes and attacks before they happen, Cogito is not strictly a preventive measure. It can also be used on potential suspects after a crime has occurred to help determine whether or not they might have criminal culpability. Use of Cogito Interrogation System technology is often classified and shrouded in secrecy but it is known that Cogito units are used by many militaries and security agencies – such as the Israeli army, and the CIA – as well as by airports and border crossings in various locations around the world. According to reports, Cogito technology is already being used by unnamed regional and federal agencies in many countries throughout the world to avoid terrorist attacks and solve crimes after they were committed. Cogito is being utilized at length in Mexico and India, two countries with an abundance of terrorism threats and criminal acts. In India, a memorandum of understanding was signed with the Gujarat Forensic Science University (GFSU). The college will teach the methodology and implementation of the Cogito system to students and forensics specialists throughout the country. More than 150 cases surrounding murder, rape, terrorism, drug crimes, and kidnapping have been successfully detected in India with the use of the technology. At a nuclear power plant in India, the system was able to detect crimes of technology theft, design theft and corporate data theft. A recent sale of the Cogito software to a major Federal Agency operating in a large, unnamed Latin American country has also become public knowledge. The Cogito technology will be used by federal agents to fight the abundance of criminal activity in the country. The first Cogito units have already been effectively installed and it is anticipated that more units will be sold to the agency in the future. Additionally, the successful incorporation of the Cogito system by this agency is projected to result in sales at other agencies operating in the same country. Recent Deal in the United States In July 2011, it was announced that Gans & Pugh Associates—a fifty-five year-old company based in Herdon, Virginia that sells surveillance equipment to state and federal clients throughout the United States entered into an agreement with Suspect Detections Systems. Under the conditions of the agreement, Gans & Pugh Associates will market the Cogito Interrogation System throughout the United States, targeting the federal homeland security market. How Accurate Is It? Cogito has an impressively high accuracy rate in testing, with less than four percent of positive (criminal) readings being false, and only ten percent being false negatives. In layman’s terms, this means that if the nineteen 9/11 hijackers had been screened by Cogito, no more than two of them would have slipped through – at least according to statistical averages. A jail in Bergen County, New Jersey, a large facility that employs more than 300 corrections officers and contains 1,250 beds, was the first jail in the United States to test out the Cogito automated rapid interrogation technology. The system was tested on its ability to expose illegal activity amongst prison inmates, and for its ability to add extra security and protection for both officers and prisoners. The testing procedure was simple and painless: A detainee was asked to sit comfortably at the Cogito station and place her or his palm in a sensor cradle. She or he was then given a set of headphones and a five to seven minute test was conducted, which consisted of a series of questions (approximately 24 questions are asked in four sets of six.) The questions were presented by the software in both audio and by text. The sensor then measured the detainee’s psycho-physiological reactions, which produced an output of test results. According to the preliminary results, the Cogito software was able to successfully identify guilty associations in addition to being able to discover the hostile intentions of inmates to commit illegal acts while inside the jail. Cogito technology also proved to be helpful in uncovering whether detainees were in possession of drugs, were currently on any type of drugs, were involved in illegal gang activity, or may be attempting to smuggle contraband into the jail. Although there are no official statements regarding Cogito technology on the Bergen County Jail website, news reports claim that the Bergen County Jail is eager to continue its partnership with Suspect Detection Systems in order to discover the full potential of the cutting-edge technology. Cogito Technology Raises Concerns The Cogito Interrogation System has raised concerns among human rights groups and civil libertarians who see it as another example of rights and freedoms being impinged upon in the name of public safety. Many people are uncomfortable with the idea of a "mind-reading" device, and the fact that it is being used by private companies as well as secretive governmental agencies. The possibility of private companies requiring Cogito interviews of prospective employees as part of their background check raises additional concerns. No matter how harmlessly it is intended, an interrogation by an automated machine can make some people feel like a criminal, and for many, this is far too invasive for the job application process. Defenders would argue that if you are not planning a crime and you are not hiding incriminating or deceitful information, you have nothing to fear, but that does little to allay concerns. Conclusion The Cogito Interrogation System automated rapid interrogation technology offers law enforcement and private security entities the unparalleled ability to proactively prevent crime or terrorist attack and offers private employers the ability to more thoroughly evaluate prospective employees. It has also proven to be very valuable in criminal investigations and in managing prison populations. As with all new technology, Cogito Interrogation System automated rapid interrogation technology is not perfect. The use of a sophisticated software system cannot be relied upon completely but it can serve to be an effective tool in conjunction with other investigative methods.
