For those on the RSS feed this new post may come as a surprise. The blog will find a new life as I transition from Indiana to Alabama. This post is mostly to test a couple new add-ins.

Yes it has been a while. First had some technical problems, then just rant out of time. Anyway, I am back now. Since there has been so much material to write about in the interim since my last post, it is probably best to just go forward from this point and back-fill as time and current events dictate. One incident that can't be over-looked from this past weekend is the University of Miami v.

One of my graduate students is just now wrapping up the finishing touches on a study regarding the impact of different types of instructions on a closed motor skill (in this case Dart Throwing). A brief explanation of the experiment is in order. Participants were given two sets of three practice throws which were recorded. After finishing the practice trials participants either read or listened

While it may seem that an Indianapolis Colts theme is emerging, I assure you that it is only due to the amount of media coverage that they have received lately (although I do have the utmost respect for the organization). However, while watching the play-off game between the Colts and the Steelers, the single act that inspired me to write was performed by Steeler, Troy Polamalu. Not the

I just read the new offering by Micheal Lewis (who also wrote Moneyball, and Liar's Poker) called simply Coach: Lessons on the Game of Life. I am glad that I did not get it for a plane trip, because at 93 small pages including several that are nothing but odd choices of photos, I read it in a shorter amount of time than it takes to taxi at the Indianapolis Airport. While short, the book is thick

While in a Barnes & Noble, the January 02, 2006 issue of EPSN the Magazine caught my eye. It was clear that it had gone to press before the tradgey of Coach Dungy's son, James, death. The irony of the cover story was one thing that grabbed my attention, but the subtitle of the story, "Why isn't Tony Dungy Getting Any Credit?" is what made me pick up the issue. The actual article by David Fleming

Today my thougts have turned again to the topic of making team selections. When facilitating Leadership and Coaching workshops in my role as Senior Trainer for the Positive Coaching Alliance, it seems that topic of chosing teams and its relative, "making cuts," is a common line of questioning I get. Also interesting is that it is one of the most hotly discussed topics amongst the students in the

Or 1st & 10, tip-off, face-off, or 1st pitch; what ever your sport does to get the game under way. This is the initial submission to my blog. If you are wondering about the title it comes from the philosophy that athletic programs (especially, but not exclusively, when affiliated academic or religious insitutions) are done best when their goals match and support those of the sponsoring
