And He Said, "It's 100% Mental"

This post is literally coming "hot off the press". This first weekend in May, I have been fortunate enough to attend the USA Hockey Eastern Instructors Training Seminar. I just heard a speech from a participant on the topic of "Nutrition".

The gentlemen spoke about his personal story of losing 75 pounds of fat. He got the opportunity to referee some junior hockey in his area, and he stated that he was 306 lbs. at the time.

1. He made a decision. He set a goal.
2. He committed himself to his goal, 100%, unconditionally.
3. He succeeded, because he transformed his habits.

OK, that seems logical doesn't it? Would you agree that we all know what is good for us and what is NOT good for us. I could honestly say that you probably all know enough about exercise, and the hardest part is deciding, committing, and, therefore, succeeding. Maybe you just need a kick in the rear? Maybe you just need a training partner? Maybe you just need some competition? I don't know what it is that you need to do, but I can relate to you what the guy who lost 75 lbs. did, and he was spot-on with his teaching points:

1. He involved his family. He asked them for support. Not just his wife, but his extended family as well.
2. He involved his friends. His best friend, who was also a hockey referee, was one of his supports.
3. He created a competition amongst his local association, called it "The Biggest Loser", each guy put in $10 and did a three month program to see who could lose the most weight (which he won -- $150).
4. He put his goal right in front of his face each and every day.

Ultimate Officials has the support network, the competitive aspect, and the resources for you to do the "100% Mental" things. Are you willing to decide, commit, and succeed??
