but that's besides the fact...

catholics against kerry?

meh?
(what does "meh" mean exactly, when we type it? for me it's a confused alternative to "eh?" pronounced "ehhhh??" then again, i think it all originated this one time when i mustve tapped the 'm' key by accident in front of my predetermined "eh". you feel me?)

ok, so last time i was talking about my courses in skool. here's where i continue my wrath.
im taking this kine-elective called theory and methodology of training.

[side note to known friends: remember i said i was gonna get my coaching level II certification through this course? well i was sadly mistaken. i dont get level II cfc certification. imma have to settle with my level I and coaching kids. like i ever take advantage of my certifications anyhow. hahah]

this course is pretty cool, i must say. first of all, i have this prof who also coaches the track team at my skool and beyond that, was voted coach of the year by the oua (ontario universities athletics). he's a pretty funny guy..but aside from that..i dont understand a gatdamn thing he's sayin! he has this really thick russian accent and always grunts or stammers in his sentencing; i mean im not complaining cause,down the line, we're all immigrants somehow. canada is the native/aboriginal man's land. so yea..im not beefing about that. i was just saying, i dont understand a gatdamn thing he says. guess ill be teaching myself once again. not a problem. what i wanted to get to was the meat and potatos of this course...
it deals with conditioning athletes and planning specific training regimens. so im on amazon.ca the other day...comparing prices with my skool's bookstore and the student (discount) bookstore across the street from my skool and i was surprised to find out a little tid bit of info that truly fascinated me.
for years now ive been astonished with the credentials that my profs have. well, folks, this course is no exception. periodization was invented by the course director of theory and methodology of training!
did you read that right? do you care? you dont?....oh well ill say it again for emphasis...

that motherfucker made up periodization!

i was shocked to read about it. hopefully, ill get the chance to talk with tudor bompa himself. i mean this is serious stuff! im honored. motherfucker made up the system! geez.

"When it comes to designing programs for optimal training, Tudor Bompa’s expertise is second to none. Bompa revolutionized western training methods when he introduced his groundbreaking theory of periodization in Romania in 1963. Today, periodization is the basis of every serious athlete’s training.

Periodization is a scientifically based method for structuring short- and long-term training plans. Grounded in current research on exercise physiology, athletic psychology, and training methodology, periodization varies the intensity and volume of training to optimize the body’s ability to recover and rebuild. This results in better performance and less risk of injury.

Periodization: Theory and Methodology of Training presents Bompa’s latest refinements to the theory he developed. Formerly titled Theory and Methodology of Training, this long-standing classic has been translated into nine languages and has come to be regarded as the definitive reference on training theory. Now in its fourth edition, it’s even better organized, easier to read, and more up-to-date than before.

No other book discusses planning and periodization in such detail or with so many specific, practical examples from a variety of sports. Periodization clearly describes

• the underlying principles of effective training; • the objectives and components of an effective, comprehensive, long-term training program; • proven strategies for optimal peaking; and • how to train for better motor ability, working capacity, skill effectiveness, and psychological adaptability.

Learn how to train for maximum gains with insights from the man who pioneered the concept of periodization. With Bompa’s Periodization, you’ll build stronger, faster, more durable athletes for better performance."

speaking of training...tomorrow nite is the big fight between de la hoya and hopkins!
i really just wanted to lay low this weekend and relax.
so gang...if i dont end up going with my dad to watch the fight at the neighbourhood pub, then by all means, there's an idea for tomorrow nite!

my prediction: hopkins by unanimous decision.

dont throw shit at me! im a big de la hoya fan. im just saying, hopkins strategy is solid. and based on de la hoya's conditioning in his last fight, my hope in him has faltered. but that's all totally subjective. i gotta see how they both fight in the first couple rounds to solidify my choice of winner.

dont miss this one, boxing fanatics!


[fuck him up, oscar!!]
