Field Hockey

Football

By Heather Shauger If you have been to any of Wayne Valley’s field hockey games then you would have noticed right-inner, Deandre Hanke on the field. You would have seen her sprinting up the field with the ball or rushing the goalie’s pads in the circle. She not only is one of the captains on Wayne Valley’s Field Hockey team, Deandra Hanke is also their top scorer. So far this season she has netted a total of 15 goals and has averaged an impressive 2 goals in each game. Her playing ability was evident to her coaches as soon as she stepped onto Wayne Valley’s field. In sophomore year, she was placed on the Varsity team and has been starting for the team ever since. Wayne Valley’s field hockey program in recent seasons has been putting forth a lot of effort to strengthen and expand their team. Even though her team has had several losses this year her energy and leadership is paving the way for the future teams that will come after her. Through her strong leadership roles and her field presence, she serves as a strong role model to future players. Before she was exposed to the game of field hockey, she played soccer in middle school. She had her first taste of field hockey in gym class. When her gym teacher’s realized the talent and potential that Deandra had as an athlete, she was encouraged to pursue field hockey. Had it not been for their support and Deandra’s own enthusiasm and dedication to the sport, then she might not have gone on to become her team’s leading scorer. Last year she received honorable mention in her conference games. Wayne Valley’s conference games are taking place this month where I am sure she will have more significant recognition for her playing abilities. Right now she is still deciding on the school in which she will attend. However, field hockey, she says, will always be a part of her life. She has no doubt that she will continue her field hockey career in college.

By Heather Shauger In sports the saying, “the best defense is a good offense,” can be heard frequently. However, sometimes the best defense is simply… a good defensive team. While there are many impressive athletes on the Don Bosco’s football team senior player, Lars Larsen, stands out for his incredible defensive skills and playing ability. He is one of four captains on the team. These four captains are the only seniors who are returning starters from the previous year. They had the challenge of bringing together a virtually all-new starting line for this football season. Through his sense of humor and leadership ability, Lars Larsen, has helped to make Don Bosco’s football season a success. He is very lighthearted and jokes around on his team often. His teammates call him by nicknames such as, “Justin Beiber,” and “Goldy Locks.” However, when it comes to playing football he lives by his personal motto, “48 minutes of war;” meaning, that he treats the entire 48 minutes of every football game with the intensity and passion as if it were an actual war. Lars is a middle line backer on the Don Bosco team. He is essentially the backbone of Don Bosco’s defensive team. His powerful field presence and playing ability make him a strong force on the team. Lars has been playing football since he was in middle school. Before coming to Don Bosco, he played football in Upper Saddle River for the Bulldogs. So far this year, he has at least 30 tackles and 1 interception. In his first game in his junior year against De La Salle he had an impressive 8 tackles in one game. He had a total of 4 interceptions last year. In school he works just as hard and is in all honors classes. He is in National Honors Society and received the “Gold Award” in trigonometry. Some of the schools that he has been looking towards attending next year are Harvard and Amherst University.

COACH OF THE MONTH

SPORTS • FITNESS • WELLNESS

Good Mix Has Helped Howell, Rutherford Propel to the Top By Edward Kensik Andy Howell sure has made an impression in only his first season as head coach of the Rutherford Bulldogs football team. Howell has helped lead Rutherford to its best start in a season since 2003 when the Bulldogs would go on and make the Group 2 North 2 state sectional final before falling to West Essex. As of the middle of October, Rutherford was 5-0 and was firmly ensconced as the top seed this season in Group 2 North state sectional. Howell, who had been defensive coordinator for Rutherford since 2006, took over for Frank Morano who decided to spend more time with his family. Back in 2006, Howell said that he interviewed at a few schools and found that Rutherford fit perfectly for him with a physical education position available and a football coaching spot open. “I planned on staying in New Jersey,” said Howell who was from Blue Mountain High School in Pennsylvania and went to William Paterson University. “It was a pretty good opportunity.” After playing football at William Paterson University only five years ago, the Bulldogs

players like that he recently was in the same spot that they are in. “I like how young he is and he can relate to the players,” said senior wide receiver LeRon Dillard. The combination of Dillard and another senior, Tom Allen, has made them one of most lethal wide out combinations in Bergen County. And Allen agrees with his partner, Dillard, about the new coach. “He just suited up not long ago and we know what he is saying is the truth,” said Allen. “I like him because he is a young coach and shows a lot of emotion.” If the Bulldogs can stay undefeated for the first eight weeks before the state cutoff, it would assure them home-field advantage of the state playoffs. And Howell already has garnered one title, the Colonial A subdivision championship as part of the new North Jersey Interscholastic Conference. Rutherford beat out the likes of Garfield, Lodi, Elmwood Park and Glen Rock. In terms of the coaching, Howell handles the defense and the management of the team while a former Bulldog and WPU player, Sean Ryan, takes on the duties of offensive coordinator.

Rutherford Bulldogs head coach Andy Howell

Ironically, Ryan was the quarterback for Rutherford when the Dogs went to the state sectional final in 2003. Under Howell the Bulldogs have run a 4-3 defense. “It’s single gap responsibility and safeties are very aggressive,” said Howell. “We have nine players in the box. I believe that stopping the run is important. We have an attacking defense and have to be an excellent tackler.” Of the five victories in the early going, the best has to be a 24-23 win over perennial state football powerhouse, Glen Rock, on the road. And that win might have been the biggest for the program since 2003. One of the keys is that Rutherford has been turnover-free in the first five games. “The coach says don’t be a turnover man, but cause turnovers,” said Dillard. And this has come with a changeover of quarterbacks. Rutherford has not missed a beat despite having a new quarterback this season in Bryan Gaschke. The last few years

it had been Dave Milne who is playing at Howell’s alma mater, WPU. Allen said the team is more balanced this season as opposed to 2009 where the coaching staff placed most of the offensive output on Milne. “Dave is a great quarterback,” said Allen about Dave Milne. “Dave really put the offense on his shoulders and did a great job. This year we’re a lot more balanced of a team.” While the Bulldogs took on Glen Rock earlier in the season, the toughest part of the schedule might be its last two regular season games, home against Secaucus (Oct. 23) and at Pascack Hills (Oct. 29), both teams were also undefeated in the first five weeks of the season. And Allen summed it up for his coach and the other seniors. Tom Allen: “It is my senior year and we want to go out on top,” said Allen. “Our first goal is to get to the playoffs and then to the state championship. If we work hard and continue what we are doing, the sky is the limit.”

Ramapo Makes a Statement Against St. Joe’s By Dan Cappello

November 3, 2006. Clifton High School stunned North Jersey by beating St. Joseph Regional High School. It was the last time a public school beat the Green Knights. But on October 9, 2010, this Green Knights team will all remember their latest loss to a public school—the school’s first in nearly four years. The Ramapo High School Green Raiders left Dinallo Stadium last Saturday celebrating their 35-28 victory with a new confidence that they can beat anyone. “It was a big win for us and also the school,” said Ramapo senior quarterback Tyler Ward, who finished the game with 146 yards passing and two touchdowns. “We get looked down upon because we’re a public school and not a big Catholic school, but it was a big win.” By kickoff, the stands on both sides of the field were packed with spectators. Everyone wanted to see if Ramapo could pull the upset. But the big question was, ‘would this really be an upset?’ St. Joe’s came into the game ranked second in North Jersey after their impressive win over St. Peter’s Prep earlier in the season helped raise them to the top. Ramapo, on the other hand, came into the game with a 5-0 record and ranked fourth in North Jersey. After stunning Wayne Hills in the state championship game last season, the Green Raiders have been riding high. And their veteran squad has now led them to 12 straight victories going back to last year. But in North Jersey, nothing says how strong your public school program is unless you can defeat one of the parochial teams. It’s the reason why so many schools editor@sportsfitnesswellness.com

from out of state visit the area to play them. Bergen Catholic defeated one of Pennsylvania’s top teams earlier this year and Don Bosco Prep did the same in Ohio. Beating a parochial means everything. “We don’t give up,” said Ramapo head coach Drew Gibbs. “We never quit. We understand that it is a four quarter game. We’ll play with anybody anytime.” Ramapo came out firing early. Senior running back Scott Kuenzle gave the Green Raiders an early lead with a 10yard touchdown run. However, the Green Knights didn’t stay down for long as junior running back John Sanford recontinued on page 8

That was a blow but our kids bounced back. I’m proud of the way our kids continue to play hard.” The Green Knights immediately marched down the field to start the third quarter, scor-

Eight consecutive running plays helped the Green Raiders smash down the field for 78 yards, running the clock to under two minutes, and putting the final nail in the coffin with a 29 yard touchdown by Kuenzle. Matt Ambrose sealed the deal with an interception on St. Joe’s final drive. “I think Ramapo is a great football team, there is no disgrace in losing to them,” said St. Joseph head coach Tony Karcich. “We thought we were right there and we had some blunders late in the game. Penalties late in the game took us out of offensive play. “We’re disappointed but it’s one game in a long season” he said. “They played like a veteran team and I think that was the difference today, especially in crunch time. I’m proud of our guys because they kept fighting, but you can’t self destruct, which we did too much of that.” continued on page 11 Quarterback Tyler Ward scrambles through SJR’s defense.

Ramapo and St. Joseph’s schedules only get tougher as the weeks go on. Ramapo will have to face a rematch against Wayne Hills in the coming weeks and the Green

but Ramapo only last year moved back up to the top. With a win like this, however, Ramapo will be one of the most feared teams in their league. “We’re going to line up against Wayne Valley next

week, they’re a good team. We have Wayne Hills down the road. We have a very difficult section in the playoffs,” said Gibbs. “I hope this gets us in and we have a lot more big games to go.”

HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS SOCCER

Ridgewood Girls Soccer Season Recap By Heather Shauger The Ridgewood Girl’s Soccer team has had more than their share of obstacles to overcome this season. With more than seven players out on various injuries, and adjusting to an all new and more difficult conference with new and more challenging teams, the girls soccer team has rallied together to meet these challenges. One of the players, who has been out on an injury, includes one of their talented captains Julie Campbell, who received a hip injury in one of their early games against Demarest. The coach says, that her absence on the field has been noticeable. While, the team has had just about as many wins as they have had losses, they still have a significant chance to really leave an impression in the conference games. In their upcoming games, the coach anticipates a 3 to 4 winning streak that will land them a

better seating in the conference games. The head coach, Jeff Yearing, says that the conference games are an, “open book,” as far as his expectations for his team. In a recent game against Old Tappan on Friday, October 8, any spectator could witness the tremendous effort these girls put forth on the field. While both team’s offensive and defensive abilities were showcased, the Maroons impressively pushed forward at the start of the game with over four attempts on goal in the first half. Michelle Savuoto, goalie and co-captain, had an impressive save as she leapt to prevent a goal by tipping the ball over the top of the net. Midfielder and co-captain, Tara Porfido, had several clears including a corner against them by Old Tappan. In the second half with the score still 0-0, Porfido helped to set up several plays on offense. She set up her fellow teammates, Reynolds and Tar-

leton who moved the ball up the field and had several scoring opportunities. The energy in the beginning of the second half could be felt and seen from both teams. Within the first two minutes of the half there was a shot on goal by Ridgewood that just missed. On right wing, Reynolds, with her impressive footwork and containing maneuvers, had

several shots on goal. Defender, Liz DePlatt, tightly marked Old Tappan players and was essential in preventing them from scoring any goals. Although the game ended in a 0-0 draw in overtime, the Ridgewood girls domination for the majority of the game signals tough opposition in their upcoming games.

Top-Seeded Blue Eagles Roll into BCT Quarterfinals By Dennis Wilson Top-seeded Immaculate Heart Academy led the advance into the quarterfinal round of the Bergen County Girls Soccer Tournament on Sunday (October 10) when the Blue Eagles rolled to a 70 rout of Northern Valley/Demarest in the pre-quarterfinals to improve to 9-1-1. Keepers Margharite Domicolo and K.C. Nunez combined to stop five shots on goal in sharing credit for the shutout “W” between the posts. Stefanie Scholz keyed the offense, scoring twice and dishing off an assist while Taylor Smith chipped in with a pair of goals. Glen Rock, the seventh seed, received a standout effort in the goal from Margi Rivara who made five saves in the unbeaten Lady Panthers 2-0 blanking of Pascack Valley. Collen DeMaio scored and assisted on Grace Taylor’s goal as Glen Rock upped its record to 9-0-0. Carolione Broder and Brooke Holle shared time in the Northern Highlands’ goal, combining on three saves as the No. 3 Lady Highlanders improved to 10-1-0 with a 6-0 rout of Westwood while handing the Lady Cardinals (9-1-1) their first setback of the season. Madison Holleran and Clare Shea netted two goals apiece with Samantha Fiorenzo chipping in with a goal and two assists.

Second-seeded Ramapo received scoring efforts from Caroline Chagaras, Ariel Naftali and Claire Whiteman in defeating Indian Hills 3-1. Paramus, the No. 4 seed, snapped a 1-1 deadlock at the intermission by scoring three times in the second half to defeat Cresskill 4-1.

Youth Sports: Creating Muscle Memory & Choosing the Right Coach Contributed by Pete Ohnegian, B.A., CPT, PES; Former Professional Football Player; Owner, Good Energy Training, Allendale, NJ

When we all were little we had to physically learn how to do so many things—walk, talk, brush our hair and teeth! We take all those things for granted now, but they are learned over time. How many times have you heard the following statement: “C’mon, It’s just like riding a bike!” Well, without taking off the training wheels and practicing for hours how to coordinate steering with pedaling, knowing when to break and keeping your balance at the same time—riding a bike would never happen. Becoming a good bike rider takes a lot of practice and “muscle memory” to make this skill possible. Muscle memory is when a conscious effort to put the body in a particular position, or to move it in a certain way, is transformed from a conscious action to an automatic action requiring no thought. Therefore, in order to make a movement “automatic”, you must practice that movement over a long period of time so your body performs the movement without thinking. How does this relate to you’re young athlete becoming a future sport’s star? In 2010, we have increasingly more Sport’s Performance facilities to choose from in the Tri-State area. Regardless of your student-athlete’s sport of choice, he or she can play 12 months per year and learn skills with a private coach at the same time. Creating muscle memory has to be learned from a good teacher. When you start looking for a pitching coach or soccer skills coach, find out more about the facility, trainer or coach. What is the philosophy of the facility? What is the pedigree (background) of the ellness.com

editor@sportsfitnesswellness.com

trainer or coach? Where did they play and who did they learn from? What are their goals for your son/daughter and how do they monitor your child’s progress within their program? Does the coach believe in your “little athlete” and does he/she think they can make a difference? For example, if your child needs to learn how to become faster, is the Speed Program “in a group” and if so, will your student-athlete still have the same results if he/she was trained personally? Often times an individual could get lost in a group and therefore their technique suffers without proper attention. However, being in a competitive environment with other peers could increase your child’s learning curve by creating positive peer pressure. Speed schools have proven that six year olds can improve their running mechanics and thus become faster. But it is your job to figure out what setting will create a better environment for your son or daughter to get the most out of the program. Muscle Memory has been researched for years and fundamentally proven in the Sport’s realm. Whether it pertains to tennis, gymnastics, skiing, or

swimming—elite athlete’s in these sports start at a young age to master their skills. Sports skills CAN be learned at a young age. When an athlete performs the movement or skill properly over a period of time, he or she will become more talented. The key is to practice with proper technique and at game tempo. For instance, hitting off a batting tee can create muscle memory for proper swinging mechanics in baseball or softball. But this swing now has to be transferred to not just the batting cage, but to LIVE pitching. Otherwise your son/daughter will be great in practice, but will not be able to hit in a game. Professional athletes would never be “in the Zone” without thousands of hours mastering the same moves full-speed that they dazzle the crowd with at the end of a nationally televised Championship game. Division 1 and professional athlete’s have created their Muscle Memory by performing their skills at 100%. Professional basketball players don’t just shoot around like your neighbors do in the driveway. The NBA stars have played since a young age and have practiced all their trick moves and dribbles countless times. Their bodies are now “encoded” with the muscle memory so these advanced movement patterns can be repeated and duplicated during a game. In my field, Strength & Conditioning, a good coach will prepare their athlete’s by choosing exercises that will help them play better at their Sport. The Strength training and

Conditioning needs to match the demand of the sport. Not many weight rooms have ice in the tri-state area. However, a knowledgeable strength coach can proficiently prepare an ice hockey player by knowing the physical demands they have on the ice. Increasing leg strength will increase skating power. Focusing on upper body strength with proper technique will improve skating posture and minimize the risk for injury from contact during a game. Conditioning for hockey players can include bounding or plyometrics to teach the hockey player how to load and contract fast, simulating the action on the ice. These exercises enable your hockey player to become more dynamic on the ice. If a strength coach can mimic the muscle memory performed on the ice and increase their strength, speed & conditioning—the hockey player will be physically prepared to play better on the ice. Now it is up to the Hockey coach to teach the skills and nuances of the game. Muscle memory is essential for any athlete who wants to take their game to next level. It was less talked about during the 70’s and 80’s because kids were playing outside and practicing their skills with their friends. Unfortunately the muscle memory kid’s learn now is the “fine motor” kind— using the remote when playing XBOX or PLAYSTATION 3. Good Luck with the maturation of your little athlete and remember—It will be Hard Work, but is should be FUN too! page 21

Foods & Your Feelings By Nayda Rondon naydarondon@sportsfitnesswellness.com

You just broke up with your significant other and you yearn to lighten your sorrow with a bucket of Ben and Jerry’s ice cream. Your job is so stressful that the only way you can get through the day is by frequent trips to the vending machines for candy bars and sodas. Your period came this month, bringing with it a yen for anything chocolate. Sound familiar? If so, you’re far from alone. According to national estimates, approximately 50 percent of our eating is emotionally driven. Likewise, what you eat often has a great

level. When we eat foods such as cookies and cakes, we are essentially boosting the levels of serotonin, a neurochemical that produces a calming effect on the brain, which causes us to feel better. Without question, sweets taste addictively enticing, and they do provide quick energy boosts. However, you can just as easily get an energy pick-me-up from tasty fruit. Better yet, the sugar found in fruits—fructose—is healthier and less fattening. On the other hand, sucrose, the table sugar found in processed sweets, is not. Sucrose actually disrupts your system. How? When you overload your

There are thousands upon thousands of food addicts out there “hooked” on particular foods. These cravings often are more than mere culinary caprices. Many foods, either directly or indirectly, can and do influence the way you act and feel. Having a clear grasp of how eating—or not eating—certain foods and drinks affects your body and mood swings can lead to a healthier and happier lifestyle. The refined sugars and syrupy starches found in so many of today’s “junk” foods might be your worst enemy. Apart from robbing you of a clear complexion, good teeth and a slim figure, these types of foods can cause abrupt mood swings and even contribute to subsequent health complications such as allergies, hypoglycemia, diabetes and a host of other medical ailments. Yet, if sweets are bad for you, why do you hunger for them so much? Aside from the psychological element of “treating” ourselves, sweets actually do make us feel good on a physical Page 24

body with sucrose, the pancreas overproduces insulin, a hormone that regulates sugar in the blood. As a result, too much sugar is removed from the blood since too much insulin had to be manufactured to deal with the temporary imbalance. Low blood sugar, in turn, often results in fits of irritability, nervousness, absent-mindedness and moodiness. In other words, you pay for the fleeting sugar high by crashing hard and long. It is now thought that diet may be linked to symptoms of depression as well. Studies indicate that chronic depression may be caused by a change in brain chemistry, and that this change may be treatable with nutrition. Vitamins B6 and niacin have been found to positively influence the treatment of depression. Calcium and magnesium also have produced positive results in depressed patients, particularly premenstrual women. By eating foods rich in these vitamins and nutrients, or taking vitamin supplements, you improve your chances of beating the doldrums. High-carbohydrate meals,

which activate a chemical called tryptophan, have a soothing effect. That may be one of the many reasons foods such as mashed potatoes and a steaming dish of pasta often are referred to as “comfort” foods. However, keep in mind that while producing a calmer, feelgood state, these kinds of foods also will slow down your mental alertness and performance. Large amounts of caffeine (greater than 250 milligrams or about four cups of coffee) also can cause headaches, irritability and nervousness. Unfortunately, many people find quitting or cutting down on caffeine-rich drinks and foods virtually impossible. If you’re one of those individuals, try eating vitamin C-rich foods, such as citrus fruits and fresh vegetables, to counteract the sleeplessness factor. While its specific influences on body and behavior may differ from person to person, alcohol has an undeniable mind- and mood-altering effect on people. Depending on your metabolism, there typically are five stages of intoxication: 1. “Life of the party,” in which you are happy, talkative, social and uninhibited 2. Excited, which is characterized by emotional and uncontrollable behavior 3. Confused, in which your body’s reactions slow down to produce slurred speech, staggering and disorientation 4. Stupor, in which you are unable to stand or walk 5. Comatose, in which you stop breathing and can even die

Some say it’s best not to drink, but if you’re not adverse to an occasional glass of “spirits,” make sure to keep it light and social. It’s also a good idea to eat before you drink since food in the stomach slows down the body’s digestion of alcohol. Above all, learn your limits and don’t exceed them! And be on the alert for drinking danger signs in others around you. No one wants to hear of devastating drunkrelated tragedies such as the case of Diane Schuler, a Long Island mom who killed herself and seven others—including her two-year-old daughter and three nieces—during a wrongway traffic accident while reportedly under the influence of alcohol and marijuana. Just as foods and drinks play definite roles in our mood swings and behavior, so can feelings affect our eating habits. For many people, food is a pacifier. Despite some inroads in the media and a greater social sensitivity to the issue, sadly thin still is in, and overweight people—especially adult women and teenage girls—often feel unloved, unattractive and just plain out of it. Food becomes their consolation. Others eat out of boredom. Still others eat out of habit and social conditioning. If you haven’t experienced one or more of these types of food/ emotion connections, chances are that you certainly know someone who does. So next time you find yourself in the mood for a particular kind of food, stop and think why you’re eating it. If the answer has nothing to do with actual hunger, think long and hard before taking that initial bite. editor@sportsfitnesswellness.com

The way you lie down to rest can affect the length and quality of your slumber. So make sure you’re in the best possible position for a restful night. For some spine-savvy suggestions, NJ Sports, Fitness & Wellness consulted with Dr. Peter Wohl, and Dr. Sean McLaughlin, doctors of chiropractic at the Spine and Health Center of Montvale. Here’s what they had to say. Q: What are some common posture-related sleep problems? A: A sagging mattress or the incorrect use of pillows will interfere with the neutral spine position. While a firm mattress is recommended, personal comfort is an important factor when choosing a mattress. If you have an old mattress, a board placed between the mattress and the box spring can provide a temporary fix to a sagging mattress. Q: What are the best sleeping positions, and how can we achieve them? A: The best sleeping positions are lying on the side or on the back. When lying on the side, a pillow between the

knees helps keep the spine neutral. People who lie on their side without a pillow between their knees sometimes draw one knee up high and in front. This asymmetry can result in pain over time. Whether lying on your back or sides, you can add rolls to support the natural curves of the spine in the neck or low back. A “cervical roll” can be used to support the neck. The roll is situated between the base of the head and the shoulders, supporting the curve of the neck and helping to maintain neutral alignment lying on the back or on the side.

a person is sleeping. When a person suffers from a back injury or disorder, it’s especially important to sleep well in order to help the healing process. An important factor that can influence individual preferences for mattresses, beds and sleeping positions is the specific back condition a person has. For example: Osteoarthritis: Patients with pain from osteoarthritis of the facet joints (joints which help support the weight and control movement between individual vertebrae of the spine) may prefer to sleep on their sides with their knees curled up in the fetal position. This helps open up the facet joints in the spine and can relieve any corresponding pressure. Alternatively, sleeping in a reclining chair or an adjustable bed that allows the head and knees to be elevated also can relieve

mattress is too hard, consider a new mattress with thick padding on top or try placing an egg crate foam mattress cover over the old mattress. Hip pain: Patients with hip pain who sleep on their sides can usually find some pain relief by placing a pillow between their knees. This decreases stress across the hip. Herniated lumbar disc: The

The sleeping lumbar, a long thin roll tied around the waist, helps support the lumbar arch while lying on your back or side. Smaller than the sitting roll, its diameter is approximately three to four inches. To make a sleeping roll at home, roll a large bath towel lengthwise. Stuff the towel roll into one leg of an old pair of pantyhose or feed a rope through the center of the towel roll, securing the roll with masking tape. Tie the roll around your waist at the level of the small arch in your low back. This roll may provide comfort by keeping your back from sagging off center to either side. If lying on your back, it will help keep you from rounding out your lower back. Q: What role does a mattress play in back conditions? A: The only time during which the muscles, ligaments and other structures in the spine can completely relax is while

pressure on the facet joints. Degenerative disc disease. Patients with pain from degenerative disc disease may prefer to sleep on their stomach as this can relieve pressure on the disc space. Patients may feel most comfortable using a relatively firm mattress and placing a flat pillow under the stomach and hips, which can further reduce stress on the lower back. Spinal stenosis: People with pain from spinal stenosis (a narrowing of areas in the back or neck spine causing pressure on the spinal cord or nerves), may want to opt for sleeping on their sides with their knees curled up in the fetal position. This helps relieve pressure on the nerve root. Sleeping in a reclining chair or an adjustable bed that allows the head and knees to be elevated also can relieve pressure on the nerve. Bursitis: Patients who have inflammation of the bursa over their hips (greater trochanteric bursitis) can be especially susceptible to pain from a mattress that is too firm. If the

most comfortable sleep position depends on the position of the disc. For a paracentral disc herniation—the most common complaint—patients will tend to do better lying on their stomachs. For a foraminal herniated disc, sleeping on the side in a fetal position generally is better tolerated. “The key to good sleep and good posture is awareness and perseverance,” Dr. Wohl emphasizes. “It is not easy to change poor sleep and postural habits, nor do the changes come quickly. However, if good posture is practiced, it becomes easier and you will find yourself preferring the ‘neutral alignment’ to your previously poor position.” “In addition to feeling better, good posture also makes you look better,” adds Dr. McLaughlin. “It is said that good posture can make you look ten pounds lighter and ten years younger! Give it a try. The benefits are well worth the effort.” For more information, visit www.the spineaandhealth center.com. page 25

Reiki: A Holistic Alternative to Conventional Healing By Nayda Rondon naydarondon@sportsfitnesswellness.com

Stress, aches and pains, and the negative impact of illness or chronic conditions seem to be a part of most of our lives. Many people turn to drugs and other Western forms of standard medical treatment. Some concentrate on the physical elements of exercise and nutrition. Others play mind games, trying to convince themselves that by ignoring or “willing away” the symptoms, the causes will eventually disappear. These days, however, an increasing number of people are looking to natural, holistic practices for the answers to what ails them.

Basics of Reiki Reiki is one such holistic option gaining in popularity. Many of us have likely heard the term and may even have sampled it at our favorite spa, but few really understand what is involved. For instance, many mistakenly believe it to be a form of massage. Yet, unlike massage, which uses the hands to rub and knead areas of the body to achieve therapeutic results, Reiki generally does not involve physically touching the body. Instead, Reiki, a Japanese word meaning “universal life energy,” is an extremely effective technique for stress release

and total relaxation that works through a Reiki therapist moving his or her hands slightly above your body, but within your aura. “A sense of peace, vitality and joy combined with the extremely pleasant feeling of security are common experiences. It is a nurturing energy that harmonizes the mind, body and soul,” explains Marisol Fitzgerald, owner of Namaste Organic Spa in Ridgewood, and a Reiki master for ten years. There are two main branches of Reiki—Traditional Japanese and Western Reiki. Both forms are composed of three degrees: first, second and master/teacher. A first degree Reiki practitioner is able to heal himself/ herself and others; a second degree Reiki practitioner is said to have the ability to heal others distantly (by phone, for example); and a master/teacher is empowered to teach and attune others to Reiki. Practitioners believe that anyone with an open mind can access and harness this healing energy by means of an “attunement” process given by a Reiki master/teacher. How Reiki Works Adherents credit Reiki with producing healing on physical, mental, emotional and spiritual levels. The premise is that the healing energy will flow through the practitioner’s hands as the hands are placed on or near a patient. Some disciplines believe the power comes from the practitioner, while others think the energy is tapped from the patient’s ailment or injury to activate or accelerate the body’s natural healing process. In the Western tradition, Reiki works in conjunction with the chakras, or energy regions, of the body. The hand is held over the chakras, both on the front and the back of the body. The typical Reiki treatment begins at the head and works

its way through the seven major chakras. These centers are as follows: • The crown, or head, chakra • The third eye chakra, located in the center of the forehead • The throat chakra • The heart chakra • The solar plexus chakra, located in the abdomen region • The sacral chakra, located just below the belly button • The base/root chakra, located at the base of the spine Benefits of Reiki While every individual has a different experience with Reiki, common benefits include the following: • Increases energy levels • Reduces stress and anxiety, providing relaxation and enabling one to handle pressure better • Produces a feeling of overall peacefulness • Helps advance the healing process and is sometimes recommended for medical treatments Reiki treatments are said to be completely safe and without side effects. The sensations and benefits will vary depending on the person receiving Reiki; people may experience results immediately after Reiki treatment or over a period of time. Reiki is particularly beneficial when administered as part of a massage. Combining a Reiki treatment with a deep tissue massage, for instance, allows a client to completely relax while the therapist is working on releasing difficult knots, toxins and muscle tensions, notes Fitzgerald. Reiki is used to treat conditions such as muscle pain, tension, stress, injury healing, pain management and more than 60 other types of ailments, according to the International Association of Reiki Professionals and International Healers Association.

What to Expect In a typical whole body Reiki treatment, the Reiki practitioner asks the client to lie down, usually on a massage table, and relax. After entering into a calm, “centered” state of mind, the practitioner places the hands on the client in various positions. However, practitioners also may employ a hands-off technique, in which their hands are held a few inches away from the client’s body for some or all of the treatment. The hands are normally kept in the same position for about five minutes before progressing to the next position. In most cases, certain areas are targeted by the

hand positions. The head, the front and back of the torso, the knees and the feet are all popular points, but around 12 to 20 positions are commonly used, with the entire treatment lasting 60 to 90 minutes. Localized Reiki treatment involves the practitioner’s hands being held near or on a specific part of the body for varying lengths of time (20 minutes is common). Recent injuries usually are treated in this way, with the injury site being the focus. Some practitioners use localized treatments and specific hand motions for certain ailments. Other practitioners prefer the whole body treatment for all chronic conditions. Still others employ both, first giving a whole body treatment before following up with a localized treatment targeting specific areas and/or conditions. At Namaste, a Reiki treatment begins with educating the client about Reiki. The client then lies

down, fully clothed, on a massage bed and the Reiki practitioner explains that the most common sensation is warmth in the area where the therapist’s hands are positioned. “Many people also report a floating or weightless sensation, emotional release or even the experience of viewing the bright colors of their chakras. The majority of the treatment is performed without touching the body,” explains Fitzgerald, noting that Namaste has four Reiki therapists, two of whom are Reiki masters. “I immediately felt the Reiki energy and healing get to work,” says Ivette Sanz-Osso, who recently enjoyed one of Fitzgerald’s Reiki treatments at the Ridgewood spa. In some cases, a therapist can feel stronger energies in a certain place on the body and he or she will direct more of her/ his time on that area, according to Fitzgerald. Usually the

area that had a stronger energy indicates a physical or chakra imbalance. “I came in with a terrible headache, but after the Reiki treatment, it was gone,” adds Sanz-Osso’s friend, who also benefited from Fitzgerald’s Reiki therapy. Fitzgerald particularly recommends Reiki treatments for individuals going through emotional stress or those with difficult illnesses such as cancer, multiple sclerosis and autism. “I believe (Marisol’s) therapies nursed me back to health and I can honestly say that I feel better than I have ever felt in my life, even before I became sick,” says Eileen Fuentes, a breast cancer survivor, who sought out Fitzgerald for help in recovering from a bilateral mastectomy and chemotherapy. “Everyone can benefit from a Reiki treatment,” emphasizes Fitzgerald. “All you need is an open mind.” page 27

Q&A: Spencer Ross, Track & Field Competition

Spencer Ross is a 14 year old athlete who has been competing in track and field for over five years. He previously enjoyed reasonable success at the local level until he embarked on his kettlebell training journey approximately two years ago. This past year, in the Spring and Summer of 2010, Spencer was able to post the numbers (seen to the right) and achieve some remarkable gains in competition. Instead of simply writing an article and listing all of the titles and championships won, I decided to get the words directly from the 14 year old athlete. Qu: What made you choose Track and Field? SPR: My Dad suggested to me that I try track because baseball wasn’t “My thing”. Qu: Why wasn’t it “Your Thing?” SPR: I was OK at it, but my Dad understood my athletic ability and talents so he steered me toward track. Qu: You improved a great deal over the past two seasons, what do you attribute your increased success to? SPR: Definitely Kettlebells. Qu: How did they help? SPR: Increased my strength & flexibility immensely. Qu: You compete in a wide variety of events. Why else do you think the kettlebells help you so much? SPR: Because it ‘s a total body workout. The training helps you develop explosive power. Qu: What type of KB workouts do you like the most? SPR: I like Power Workouts, which include: heavier weight, less reps and lots of sets with the same exercise. I feel that this type of training builds my strength the most. Qu: What workouts do you like the least? SPR: Endurance, because we usually do something editor@sportsfitnesswellness.com
