FOOD IS THE FUEL
I ate horribly over the weekend. I mean horrendous! It was extraordinarily tasty, but it literally ruined my training session, my mood, essentially my day.
Those of you who train at Elite Training Center know who Tommy is. Tommy is a standout martial artist. He sees it, he can do it. He’s also 19. I’m a young 39, although not old, but as far as athletes are concerned…well I’m not 19. Those of you know Josiah, he created a workout for Tommy to do as he gets geared up for his fight December 8th (see you all there). Josiah is the head coach for the MMA fight team at Elite Training Center. I did the workout with him. I suffered through it, but I did it. Do or do not, there is no try. Well Yoda, I did, but I did poorly. I did poorly because I didn’t heed my own advice and eat consciously. Therefore…
Coming soon to Elite Training Center (as mentioned in last Monday’s post) is Eric Laciste. Eric is one of the top trainers in Los Angeles, lending his talents and knowledge to many different groups of people. Eric is very passionate about what he does and realizes the impact his programs can have on people. He will be putting on a 3 part FREE seminar to those Elite members who want to perform better on the mat and make some gradual changes to improve their eating habits.
Whether doing Krav Maga, Muay Thai Kickboxing, MMA, BJJ or Kali Silat, food is the fuel and should be viewed as such. The most challenging part is staying consistent. If we can all be there to support one another during promotions, we should all be able to help one another stay true in creating or taking a better, more positive path when it comes to nutrition. We are all at Elite Training Center for similar reasons. I believe we can all be better everyday. I believe we can all be the change necessary for one another.
