Have trouble getting started in the morning?
Feel sluggish in the afternoon? Ready to crash come evening? You're not alone. Many people, especially women, are constantly suffering from a lack of energy. Fatigue can be caused by a number of different factors, but for many people, poor nutrition is to blame. Since food is the body's fuel, how well you're able to perform during the day may be directly related to what foods you fill up with during meal and snack time. When it comes to energy levels, foods and drinks that play the biggest role are carbohydrates, protein, water, and caffeine. Here's how to include them in your diet: Carbs for Energy Your body needs some carbs. Yes, you heard it right. Carbs! A combination of complex and simple carbs is what to aim for to get maximum benefit. Complex carbs are slower to burn and include foods like whole grains and starchy vegetables (squash, potatoes, carrots, and pumpkin). Whole grains that are high in fiber are what you need for sustained, long-lasting energy. Look for bread that contains two to three grams of fiber per slice. For a healthy dose of simple carbs, stick with fresh, whole fruits. Protein for Stamina While carbs supply energy, protein is responsible for releasing the energy. Protein is also essential for cell growth, the transport of nutrients and hormones through the body, healthy muscles, and a properly working immune system. Be sure to eat a source of protein at each meal, whether lean meat, fish, poultry, beans, eggs, soy, nuts, or low-fat dairy. Water for Refreshment Essential to survival, water is also essential for energy. When you consider that two-thirds of your body is made of water, you're reminded how important water is to health and wellness. Water helps to control your temperature, helps you digest food, lubricates your organs, and plays a major role in creating energy molecules. If you're depleted of water, you probably feel depleted of energy. If you're dehydrated, you'll feel completely dragged out. Without enough water, your body will work overtime to re-hydrate itself instead of producing energy. Caffeine for Stimulation Caffeine is a stimulant that works by exaggerating the effects of your natural hormones, causing your heart to beat faster and your breathing to increase, making you feel more alert. Perhaps you're one of the millions of people who drink one or more cups of coffee in the morning. If so, you know the powerful effect caffeine has to jumpstart your energy level. Besides coffee, caffeine is also found in tea, sodas, herbs, and chocolate. Be aware that too much caffeine can make you feel jittery, interfere with your sleep, and cause dehydration. Additional Tips Keep in mind that overeating, no matter what food, may cause sluggishness. Instead of three large meals, try eating several small meals (don't forget breakfast!) throughout the day to give you constant bursts of energy. Too much alcohol or a vitamin deficiency is often to blame for low energy levels. For women, a dragged out feeling could be caused by anemia (low iron) due to their monthly menstruation. If you still feel fatigued and lethargic after eating a well-balanced diet, contact a food professional or your physician. Stress, medications, diseases, sleep problems, or lack of exercise may be to blame, and getting these under control will get your energy level back where it belongs. One of the most proven ways to increase your energy levels is to participate in a consistent, challenging exercise program. My passion is to help people, just like you, improve their energy levels and their overall quality of life.

Diving Take Gymnastics and Just Add Water!
In studying divers I noticed how close the skill training is to gymnastics as power, balance, vision, depth perception, and the proprioception (your ability to execute a movement based essentially on what you practice in regards to that movement) necessary to execute a high difficulty dive. So if you or someone you care about is either a beginner or budding Olympian, and if a good strength coach or personal trainer is not feasible or affordable, train with me online saving money, time, and possibly putting yourself in position to win a trophy, or medal. So let's get ready for the pool.

Football Drills That Separate The Best From The Rest
Football Athletes! I got one simple question for you:
Are You Ready? With just a little over 3 months until training camp, the smart student-athletes have been training the right way year-round with sound programs like those provided through US Sports Strength and Conditioning.
While many schools do a great job with off-season strength, conditioning, and skill training, many athletes and their families are left to improvise in their local big box gym or look around the web for all of the 'cookie-cutter' 'one size fits all' programs slapped together with the intent of you buying their equipment or supplement.
Nah baybee not US Sports. We want to see you succeed. If a good strength coach or personal trainer is not feasible or affordable, train with our pros online saving money and time and more importantly training the right way for your sport. Click here to learn more
Here's our boi' Robbie with some additional drills that you can add to your program this summer to be ready to start this fall.
Let's get it!

Football Drills That Separate The Best From The Rest
by Robbie Fredric
If you want to shine on under the Friday night lights, be a superstar on Saturday or maybe even one day make it to the NFL, you have to be willing to put in the work with plenty of football drills. It's important to keep in mind that not every player on a roster does the same thing for a football team, so each person will want to work on drills that are best for them. When a team of players come together, each one working hard on their own practices, then you can have a mighty team that is ready to take on whatever comes their way on the gridiron. Here are some drills that you can practice, to become a better football player.
Ladder Mobility
To be the best on the football field, then you need to have better footwork than your opponents. One of the best ways to get that footwork is to work on ladder mobility drills, which will help you get quicker and lighter on your feet. To set this drill up, you will put a ladder on the ground in front of you. Then you will line up on the side of the ladder at either end. The goal is to then step in and out of each space in the ladder as quickly as you can by going two steps forward, two steps back and then quickly shift to the next area of space. If you get really good at this drill, you can then begin sidestepping all of the spaces, which will help you with lateral movement as well.
Precision Passing
Most players dream of being the quarterback, simply because of the amount of accolades this position gets. However, those that want to be the quarterback need to set themselves apart from other players on the field in a variety of ways. To get better at passing, quarterbacks can do a drill that will work on how precise they are. To do this, setup multiple different targets at 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 yards away. The goal is to then hit each of these markers in as many passes as you can. If you want to work with your receivers as well, then you can even bring them in and pass to them at the same distance. And if you want to improve your arm strength even more, consider going deeper than 50 yards once you have hit five targets in a row.
Oklahoma Drill
The name of this drill varies between different regions in the country. Some call it the Oklahoma Drill, while others may call it Bulls In The Ring. Whatever the name, the idea is all the same. To perform this drill you will line up two players in front of one another and a barrier just to each of their sides. When the whistle blows, each player will then have the objective of trying to push their opponent out of the center of the area. This drill is great for defensive players, but it also gets everyone worked up and is great for right before a game. It also helps quieter players come out of their shell, knowing they can go as hard as they want without worrying about hurting someone.
There are a variety of different football drills that you can consider to be a better football player. But with the three mentioned here, you'll become faster, stronger and more precise when you put in the work to be your best.
