Huge Athletic Feats

This e-newsletter topic will be an ongoing series. New entries will be included as other events occur:

There is normal. Then, there is plain...what!...And...whoa!

To run like a freight train, carrying a load like this 350lbs. high school running back is mind boggling. I hope this video gives insight to athletes who think they cannot move because they are a certain size.

There are rivalries that go back and forth. Then, there are rivalries that have unexpected and exceptional finishes for the glory of athletics! New Rochelle Buzzer Beater

The Chicago Blackhawks are the NHL's most successful team in this shortened season. To go undefeated in 24 games at any level and in any sport is remarkable even if ties are permitted. Face it...no losses! To lose the first game on the 25th try is nothing to fret about.

As a huge athletic feat, the movement and dismantling of the Big East is hidden. But, creating an entirely different conference creates other opportunities yet ends annual rivalry games.

Overcoming cancer and playing at a high level. In the quietly covered level and sport of college ice hockey. You only need to hop to Canisius College to see this story.

Who says boxing is a lost art? Bernard Hopkins gets his work done! Age is really just a number.

Save the generic stuff for the...generics. This focus and skill is fantastic! Tomas Jurco

Rise up! Never mind playing defense. You, Brandon Knight, just got posterized and T-shirted:


For HAHPN #3 - March 2013
It is more than just an athletic feat but also a social, educational, and personal feat that involves sports and fitness in New York for at risk teens. Very positive.

May be it is the time of year. May be it is simply the sport, but basketball gets a lot of attention for athletic feats (check out these female high school ballers) Why? Well, it could be do the way the game is structured. Heaving a ball 40 feet for a buzzer-beater is easier to launch when a player is uncontested or jumps in a way to hide the ball from the defender. How many times have you aimed toward your exercise goal with a "defender" in the way"? Did you nail it with some sound mental imagery (for the sports psych buffs)?

And now for the marathoners: Marathon season is coming up with some races already completed around the nation. Washington, DC had its Rock 'N Roll USA Marathon. Then, there is the Gusher Marathon out of Beaumont, TX where Iram Leon, a father who is terminally ill with a brain tumor, won the event while pushing his daughter in a stroller. Won the event. The human body is awesome. It does wondrous things, so never say never!

We also have Julie Weiss who ran 52 marathons in as many weeks...52 in 52. Schedule or participate in more walks, runs, or bicycling events this year!

I hope that after roughly seven years of writing mass emails, e-newsletters, and blogging that someone now understands the importance of human performance arsenal.

Armed and Ready as you may know him on the Travel Channel. Kevin Michael Connolly gets around because he moves in a different manner. He probably moves faster than most people.

Sergio Garcia of the PGA Tour makes golf look really athletic in this tree shot. Making adjustments is a serious thing in life and in athletics.

Again, basketball makes this athletic list because it is that time of year. Aaron Craft makes it look easy from downtown/behind the arc. Elation! What do you do when your game is on the line?

Uncle! Uncle! Uncle!...What are the lyrics to that song again? Oh yea, "don't start no stuff won't be no stuff!" In a standoff to see who has the best agility, the goose wins!

I love jump roping. It is fun. It targets many muscles. It's a safe cardio workout. It's also a safe plyometric and coordination workout. She makes it look very easy.

Speed. Whoever thought mountain biking would be so incredibly fast!

Definitely, this feat is the most amazing of all of them so far. Cutting your career short to save someone's life. Check this one out

Purpose and Development,
