NJ SPORTS FITNESS & WELLNESS ATHLETES OF THE MONTH – NOVEMBER 2011 Eric Klenofsky

Ariana North

DePaul (Hewitt) Junior

Northern Highlands Junior

Boys Soccer Goalkeeper

Cross-Country

By Dennis Wilson Klenofsky was the key to the Spartans’ “D” unit that spurred DePaul to its first-ever Passaic County Boys’ Soccer Tournament championship on October 22. At 6-5, the 170-pound goalkeeper has the physical characters of a modern-day college keeper and during the course of the PCT, he demonstrated the athleticism necessary to compete at the next level – and his is only a junior.

He was interviewed by ESPN RISE at the Dallas Cup and was the TSF Academy Player of the Week earlier this year. He was the keeper for the Alliance Cup Champions in Reston, VA and the Adidas Potomac Memorial Day Champions as well as the Region 1 Colonial League runnerups.

By Dennis Wilson North raced through the tape to win the Bergen County Cross-Country Meet of Champions. She registered a clocking of 18:22 on Saturday (November 5) at Darlington County Park in Mahwah.

A week earlier, the Northern Highlands’ junior was fastest to the finish in Division A of the Bergen County XC Group Championships that was also contested over the Darlington Park 5,000-meter course when she was timed in 18:26.

North is versatile student/athlete who maintains a 3.7 GPA taking honors courses while speaking English and French in addition to limited Japanese. She is musical-oriented, playing the jazz trombone as a solo and in a band.

Cheerleader of the Month NOVEMBER 2011

Ashley Fede Senior Mahwah High School

By Gene Petraglia As a base for the Mahwah High School cheer team, Ashley Fede is able to successfully juggle many activities into her senior year. Her days include school, homework, cheering for her high school, competitive cheering, and even at part time job at Sonny & Tony’s Pizzeria.

She has been cheering for four years both at the high school and competitive levels. That cheering experience, along with a solid gymnastics background, has yielded a strong tumbling repertoire that includes, handsprings, back tucks, and layouts.

Despite her individual skills, Ashley says her favorite part of cheering is stunting, and being a part of one of Mahwah’s four stunt groups.

For the balance of her senior year she hopes to mix in some fun, but is driven to cheer in college. She has been in touch with the Coach at her first choice school, Saint John’s and will be working on a tumbling video to send to her in the next few weeks.

We are certain that next year we will see her leading on the Red Storm Basketball team through their Big East schedule.

Question: Why did you decide to start the Score for the Cure fundraiser?

Answer: When he [Christopher] died, I just felt like I had to do something. I was even writing his name on my cleats. Then when my cousin did a similar organizational type deal with St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital, I thought that this would be a great opportunity for me to start my own thing with this foundation because we were so close as family friends.

Question: Can you tell me

By Tim Sohn NJSports Fitness & Wellness recently caught up with Danny Thompson, a sophomore at Indian Hills High School in Bergen County.

The quarterback has organized a fundraiser, called Score for the Cure, to remember family friend Christopher Brandle who died from a brain tumor March 31, 2010 at the age of 10.

DiRupo Continuing Bogota’s Volleyball Tradition

Photos courtesy of Edward Kensik.

Bogota girl’s volleyball head coach, Brad DiRupo.

By Edward Kensik BOGOTA – Before Brad DiRupo came to Bogota High School from Roxbury High School, he never had coached volleyball.

He had coached everything from football, wrestling, softball and baseball at Roxbury High School, but he had no idea about volleyball.

Before the 2000 season the previous Bogota volleyball coach had first retired and then decided to come back before deciding to retire again.

In the end DiRupo would get the job and there was a lot of pressure for him to continue the success of the Lady Bucs program.

“I was a little apprehensive and wondering what am I getting into here,” said DiRupo. “I felt a little pressure, but I liked it.”

Despite a lack of volleyball coaching experience, he was able to keep the motor running for the Bogota program as they continued to be one of the best Group 1 programs in the state.

DiRupo said that he took advantage of some of the Bogota alums for help in the volleyball strategy while some of the rest of the coaching does not change from sport to sport.

“When you are a coach you have to be organized and thorough,” said DiRupo who is also the Bogota High School athletic director and head softball NJ Sports Fitness & Wellness Telephone: (973) 605-1213 Fax: (973) 605-1883 editor@sportsfitnesswellness.com 173 Morris Street, 2nd Floor Morristown, NJ 07960 page 8

coach. “Every successful coach is organized.”

Almost every year under DiRupo he has continued the girls volleyball excellence with the school and it finally came to fruition with the 2007 Group 1 state title in three games over Midland Park. The Bucs came back to win the 2010 state championship in defeating Madison for the Group 1 title. It was DiRupo’s second state title and the program’s third.

The Bogota head coach said that what he likes most about Bogota is the ‘family atmosphere.’ “We have kids coming back all the time,” said DiRupo.

“After winning the state title last year, I received hundreds of messages from girls who were on the team congratulating us on the championship.”

And added that he likes the Bogota feel compared to the larger school like at Roxbury.

“It was definitely a different feeling,” said DiRupo going from a big school to one of the smaller schools in the state in Bogota.

“When I was at Roxbury, I read off some names at graduation that I had never met. Bogota is more like a family. I like the small school setting and you know the kids.”

And his success recently was honored as he garnered his 300th victory as coach when the 2011 edition of the Bogota Bucs defeated Emerson, 25-8, 25-8, at home. For the Bogota head coach he won his 100th victory in 2003 when Bogota defeated Point Pleasant Beach and then captured his 200th victory with a win in 2007 over Dwight-Englewood.

The Bogota head coach said that one of the keys to his coaching is that he brings some of the mentality of coaching wrestling to sports like volleyball and

softball. In wrestling he points that an individual wrestler has no one else but himself against his opponent and he added that each volleyball player to take an individual challenge to better themselves.

“There is no tougher sport to coach than wrestling,” said DiRupo. “I coach them a lot like wrestling. We challenge them and they have to be disciplined.

The kids have responded.”

For right now the 300th win was nice, but DiRupo and Bogota have more to look forward to this season. The Lady Bucs are looking to defend the Group 1 state title, its first since 2007.

“Our goal every year is to win the state title,” said DiRupo.

Bogota was on its way to get the top seed in the Group 1 North state sectional this season as they were 23-1 heading into the last half of October.

The lone loss was to IHA. And talking IHA, Bogota was seeded second to the top seeded IHA in the Bergen County Tournament. For a small school it was an accomplishment to get a second seed in the tournament. For DiRupo it is probably a blessing and a

curse. “I’d rather sneak up from the back,” said DiRupo whose team made the county semi-finals last season before losing to Old Tappan. “We are the hunted this year, but some people are saying that they are Group 1 and they are not that good.”

So far so good in the county tournament, the second-seeded Lady Bucs defeated Paramus Catholic in two-straight games, 25-10, 25-13, to get to the county quarterfinals.

Bogota was led by the duo of Carly O’Sullivan and Julie Topor with 10 kills each. Both O’Sullivan and Topor are two of the best outside hitters in the county and North Jersey.

For DiRupo he said that the team has not reached its peak, but he thought the 2011 team was better than the 2010 squad. “This team is better from top to bottom skill wise,” said DiRupo who added that the team still is working on its communication. “It’s a process and it’s getting a lot better.”

Bogota finished runnerup in the Bergen County championship game against IHA, 2-0.

Walsh Nets Tourney-Winning Goal in 77th Minute

By Sara Jamshidi Senior Ryan Walsh headed in the game-winning tally with three minutes remaining in regulation to propel Northern Valley/Old Tappan to a 3-2 triumph over Ramapo in the championship finale of the Bergen County Boys Soccer Tournament on Sunday (November 6). It was the first-ever BCT title for the Golden Knights who previously had never advanced past the second run.

Old Tappan surged to a 20 advantage by the halftime break. John O’Reilly opened the scoring in the 10th minute when he headed a corner kick

by Nathan Bodenstein into the Green Raiders goal and Tyler Walsh added the second goal in the 37th minute, Ramapo rallied with a pair of second half goals by Sean Etheridge and Chris Nash to knot the contest at 2-2an set page 14

the stage for Walsh’s winning tally.

Ramsey edged Glen Rock in a 2-1 verdict that was decided with Ramsey recording a 7-6 win in penalty shots following a pair of scoreless overtime sessions.

Glen Rock had opened the scoring when Braeden DeWan scored on a penalty kick.

Ramsey retaliated in the second half when Jerry Ramos took a pass from Chuckie Slater to register the tying goal.

Ridgewood’s Matt Steonberg drilled the only goal of the game into the lower right corner of the Pascack Valley goal from 15 yards out in the 60th minute as the Maroons pulled out a 1-0 victory in the pre-quarterfinals when keeper Pete Goodman stopped both official shots on goal. Goalkeepers Ryan Zolper (Glen Rock), Chris Coates/Andrew D’Angelo (Mahwah), Alan Ticshbein (Northern Highlands), Will Shiel/Matt Grassi (Ra-

mapo) and Taylor Vozeh/Zach Mansley (Ramsey) all pitched shutouts between the posts as only Wallington’s 3-2 victory over Paramus in double overtime produced a result with both teams scoring. Hubert Dul produced his second goal of the contest with four minutes left in the second OT session to give the Panthers a 3-2 win over the Spartans.

Fumio Himeno and Ron Locker scored two goals apiece to spur Fort Lee to a 5-0 blanking of Cresskill in the preliminary round.

Bergenfield won the Bergen Cup on Saturday (November 5) as keeper Sergio Majia turned away 10 shots on goal in blanking Bergen Catholic 2-0. Brian Blandon tallied the game-winning goal 10 minutes into the game when he converted a through pass from Juan Lorza.

Andreas Papapetroa added an insurance tally in the second half off a free kick from the midfield by Lora.

Strong Second Half Propels Wayne Hills Over Ramapo

Andrew Monaghan’s 37-yard touchdown off a Kevin Olsen screen pass was the first score in the second half.

In a key North 1 Group 3 contest Wayne Hills erased at 21-10 halftime lead holding the host Green Raiders to three points in the second half to win 31- 24.

The comeback against Ramapo was keyed by a strong ground attack. Hills ran for 150 yards in the second half compared to only 31 in the first.

Ramapo drew first blood when QB Ryan Dougherty hit Doug Norkett on a 55-yard touchdown pass for a 7-0 lead.

The two would hook up four more times in the first half for a total of 111 yards, but have only one connection in the second half.

After the Patriots tied the score on a 21-yard run by Dom Santoro, Ramapo would answer with two more touchmy custom

downs the first coming on a two-yard run by Zach Boucher then Doughtery would connect with Norkett for their second touchdown of the night.

On the last play of the first half, Erik Martinez would kick a 30-yard field goal for Wayne Hills giving them some momentum heading into half trailing 21-10.

“The field goal was big,” said Patriot head coach Chris Olsen.

“I told them at halftime if we could score on the first series of the second half we would be in good shape.”

His team responded in that first series scoring a touchdown on a 37-yard screen from Kevin Olsen to Andrew Monoghan making the score 21-17 Ramapo. Wayne would score two more touchdowns on runs by

Christian Rodriguez of 38 and 25 yards.

Patriot’s defensive tackle Joe Lane led the second half defensive surge with four tack-

les for losses. Ramapo could only muster three second half points giving Wayne Hills the 31-24 victory and control in the upcoming playoffs.

Bergen Taxpayers are Losers at Lombardi Stadium

By Sal Gigante Don Bosco Prep is ranked No. 1 nationally by USA Football Network, Inc. and the Ironmen’s early season success stories cement the opinions of the votees.

Trailing 7-6 at the halftime intermission, Don Bosco Prep rallied to pull out a 22-16 victory over Manatee of Bradenton (FL) in a matchup of nationally-ranked scholastic gridiron powers played in the Sunshine State. Jabrill Peppers put DBP on the in the board in the opening quarter when he raced 31 yards into the end zone. After Manatee built a 10-6 advantage in the third quarter, Mike Yankovich connected on a 60-yard TD bomb with Leonte Carroo before Peppers bolted five yards into the end zone with the game-winning six-pointer.

A week earlier, DBP routed Mission Viejo (CA) 35-7 as the Ironmen rushed for 208 yards

in extending their undefeated skein to 36 games in a row. Peppers and John Wilkes rushed for TDs in the first half to boost the Ironmen into a 14-0 advantage by the intermission. The duo duplicated the production in the third quarter as DBP increased its advantage to 28-0.

Next on the DBP schedule is clash with the nation’s No. 4 team, St. Edwards (OH) that will be played on the campus of Fordham University in New York City.

DePaul’s season debut on the national stage was a success.

Zach Bednarczyk connected on six of 10 aerial attempts for 174 yards and three touchdowns to propel the Spartans o a 49-35 triumph over Boston College High (MA) in Wayne. Bednarczyk added a TD blast while Joe Moreno toted the pigskin 24 times, rushing for 250 yards and a pair of six-pointers/ Massimo Anderson hauled in five aerials for 175 yards while scoring three touchdowns.

Jonathan Germano highlighted Bergen Catholic’s 6212 rout of Teaneck when he tossed three TD aerials and blasted two and 11 yards into the end zone. Tailback James Dawson scored three of the Crusaders’ four six-pointers in the second quarter when he scampered 48, 59 and one yard to the end zone while finishing the game rushing eight times for 129 yards.

A week earlier, the Crusaders dropped a 12-7 verdict to nationally-ranked Plant of Tampa as part of a doubleheader played in Bradenton (FL). Michael Gerset found a seam in the Plant defense and raced 47 yards into the end zone to give the Crusaders a 7-3 advantage in the opening quarter.

With the 1-2 punch of Spencer Aukamp and Jeff Farina combining for 300 yards of offense, St. Joseph Regional/Montvale walloped highly-touted St. Peter’s Prep of Jersey City 49-18.

Aukema went to the air con-

necting on six of nine aerial attempts as he passed for 158 yards and a pair of six-pointers. Farina rushed for 142 yards on eight touches, scoring three times. The Hudson County squad got on the board first before the Green Knights rallied with three straight TDs to open up a 21-7 advantage.

Farina scored from 22 yards out, Mark Cieslak blasted over the goal line from one yard out, and Rick Jeune hauled in a 37-yard TD strike as he finished with five receptions for 126 yards.

Bragging rights for Wayne supremacy left no discussions as the Patriots of Wayne Hills trounced the Indians of Wayne Valley 41-0. Senior Andrew Monaghan spends the game on the field as a receiver, defensive back and punt returner for Wayne Hills. He hauled in TD passes of four and 19 yards in addition to racing 81 yards into the end zone on a punt return.

Ferber’s Outstanding Season in Trenches with Lord Jeffs Earns Invitation to Hansen Senior Bowl

By Sara Jamshidi Mahwah’s Kevin Ferber, a 6-2, 224-pound defensive lineman for Amherst College is been invited to participate in the 16th Annual Hansen Senior Bowl, a four-day, three-night event that is recognized by the national sports media industry and the College Football Hall of Fame in South Bend, IN as the official small college senior all-star game. NCAA-compliant and NAIA-approved, the game will be played January 16, 2012 in Virginia Beach.

The Relationship between Academics and Athletics Coaches on all levels have long recognized a direct relationship between academic responsibility and athletic responsibility.

In academics, just like athletics, three areas must be recognized and evaluated.

1. Identify one’s skills.

What skills are brought to the field or to the classroom with which to compete? (Yes, the classroom is an arena of competition, especially when one reaches the collegiate level!)

When skills are evaluated, it is important to be honest about both strengths and weaknesses.

Ability is different from skill.

Ability is something that is innate, brought to the athletic field or the academic table with very little prior work. Skill is something that has been improved over time by constant attention and/or hard work. For academics, skills that need to be identified and evaluated are reading, writing, note taking, studying, and time management. All of these basic skills can be improved with a consistent effort.

2. Identify one’s habits.

Habits have a huge impact on one’s aptitude. What are the habits that relate to athletic progress? Consider your habits. Do you work hard or are you lazy? Are you capable of focusing on a task until it is completed or do you fade in the middle? Do you have too many distractions that keep you from working hard at your skills?

Habits for success in athletic and academic endeavors are similar. The habits for athletic success can and do carry over to academic pursuits. Unfortunately, this is not always the case. A young person that has as a goal to be the best player he/she can be, generally has some idea what steps need to be made to reach that goal. Such a person will pay close attention to his/her work ethic, strength training, quickness and agility

training, nutrition, and basic skills of the individual sport.

Many times the individual will pay for private physical and/or mental lessons from an expert. To reach similar high academic goals, the individual needs to take the same type of approach as for his/her sport.

Habits that are basic skills for academic success are things like never missing a class, taking good notes and reviewing them often, doing homework on time, studying and reading, and preparing by staying ahead.

If it helps to hire a professional “tutor” for athletic skills, why not hire a “professional” tutor for academic skills?

With the “Information Age” upon us, it is possible to access academic “training” on the Internet. There are numerous quality web sites devoted to everything from study and learning skills to preparation for the SAT or ACT. Take advantage of these sites!

Once habits have been honestly identified, it is then possible to change them for the better. It is important to work hard to rid oneself of habits that consistently get in the way of athletic or academic success.

3. Identify one’s attitudes.

It is a certainty that one’s attitude toward life is the most important thing one’s mind can create. Just like no coach likes a player with a bad attitude , no matter how good a player he/she might be, no teacher likes a student with a bad attitude, no matter how smart he/she may be. Attitudes that are the same in sport or in the classroom include being positive, having a “can do” outlook on any subject (i.e. instead of “I hate math” it is “I can do math!”), confidence, caring about and committing oneself to excellence.

One attitude that coaches and teachers like least is that attitude which causes the diseditor@sportsfitnesswellness.com

SPORTS • FITNESS • WELLNESS ruptive behavior that keeps others from learning. “Selfefficacyâ€? is defined as the strength of belief one has to complete a certain task. The player or student who exhibits the self-efficacy necessary to improve is the player or student a coach or teacher most appreciates. Players or students who are centered upon individual improvement and the improvement of the team are the players or students who are the leaders of their respective groups.

Bring a great attitude to the field and to the classroom!

The farther one advances in athletics the better the competition. The farther one advances in academics the better the competition. Just like there is a “Pyramid � for each individual sport, a “Pyramid� for academic pursuits also exists. Therefore, it is easy to understand why it is desirable to apply similar techniques for striving toward athletic or academic success.

In athletics or academics, if one does not have great ability, one can level the playing field by improving skills. To improve skills, one must have a good aptitude to improve quickly, a good attitude to work hard and stay positive while working the steep side of the learning curve!

Working Toward Academic Success In academics, just like in athletics, how one feels about oneself can clearly determine success or failure. The noted Stanford psychologist, Albert Bandura has stated that selfefficacy “is a situation-specific form of self confidence.� This means that every individual will have certain tasks that he/ she feels comfortable attempting and certain tasks that he/she feels uncomfortable attempting. As self-efficacy increases, individuals feel better about the task they are doing and will stay with that task longer.

Self-efficacy is a very important ingredient in academic success. Numerous studies have shown that the following six criteria are critical to academic success on any level. editor@sportsfitnesswellness.com

Self-efficacy can help one improve in all six areas!

1. The ability to understand what one reads. It is not necessary to be a great reader, just methodical and capable of comprehending.

2. The ability to clearly express oneself in writing. Includes spelling, punctuation, grammar, and neatness.

3. The ability to clearly express oneself orally. A minimum of “uh’s� and “you know’s�!

4. The ability to organize oneself and one’s work. Learn time management for greater efficiency.

5. The ability to set clear, concise goals. Set goals that are measurable and attainable.

6. The ability to make a commitment to a great attitude.

A “can do� approach to any academic subject! As coaches and athletes, we realize that in everything we attempt there is a process and a product. The process is how one goes about accomplishing a task. The product is the final outcome of the task.

A good example of the process-product relationship is when a hitter is only concerned about getting a hit. In this situation, the outcome of an at bat is the goal. First, getting a hit is not a very good goal because getting a hit is not something a hitter can control. Once the ball leaves the bat, the defense is in control! So a better goal would be hitting the ball hard. Second, when only concerned about getting a hit the most important part of the process, seeing the ball, is forgotten.

When the process of completing a task is most important, then one is centered upon the effort and learning necessary to improve. When this occurs, the individual recognizes that mistakes will happen, that they are not to be feared, and that mistakes are a necessary part of learning. When product, or outcome, is most important, then mistakes are not tolerated and the learning process is inhibited.

Reading, writing, and communication skills will improve with hard work and attention to detail. One is never too young to start being a process-oriented

ACADEMICS & ATHLETICS

individual and working toward academic excellence!

Looking Beyond High School The first day of the freshman year in high school, a studentathlete can begin receiving questionnaires from colleges and universities. The studentathlete has either been identified as a “prospect� by the four year school, or has written to the school requesting to be considered as a “prospect.�

The vast majority of the questionnaires sent by the colleges and universities ask for academic information. The academic information required is grade point average, PSAT/ SAT/ACT score(s), core cur-

riculum, rank in class, and academic interest.

Every college freshman student-athlete must be “certified� by the NCAA Initial Eligibility Clearinghouse. If the academic qualifications do not meet the NCAA minimum requirements of grade point average, SAT/ACT score, and core curriculum, the student/ athlete will not be certified eligible for competition. Therefore, if competing in a sport in college is a goal, then to make that goal realistic, the studentathlete must dedicate himself/ herself to doing well in school.

PSYCHOLOGY & SPORT

Psychology sychology & Sport

By Raymond J. Petras, B.E., M.A., Ph.D., C.P.M. (AAPM) What is the Psychology of Sports?

Simply put, psychology is the study of the mind and its behavior in relation to a particular field of knowledge or activity of an individual or group. Sport Psychology is the study and application of the characteristics of the mind as it relates to sports.

How important is the mental aspect of sport?

Extremely important. Most coaches and athletes at the elite/professional levels feel that mental preparation is the difference between winning and losing.

Which group showed the greatest improvement?

In the U.S., sport psychology has been used to correct problems. In the former Soviet Union, Sport Psychology concentrated on creating methods to maximize performance. In one experiment, four matched groups of world class Soviet

athletes diligently trained before the 1980 Winter Games at Lake Placid, as follows: Group I: 100% Physical Training Group II: 75% Physical Training, 25% Mental Group III: 50% Physical Training, 50% Mental Group IV: 25% Physical Training, 75% Mental Which group showed the greatest improvement?

Read to the end of the article.

Mental Training/Sport Psychology has been proven to be a valuable tool and is becoming a necessity for many coaches and athletes looking for “THE EDGE.”

the benefits of mental training.

More and more athletes are looking for qualified mental trainers to teach them practical techniques to handle the stresses of competition and enhance performance.

Organizations such as the Association for the Advancement of Applied Sport Psychology (AAASP) are working hard to develop guidelines for mental trainers and to disseminate up-to-date information in the field by holding comprehensive seminars. Mental training must be included along with physical training to meet today’s demand for excellence. Those that fail to incorporate mental training into their programs may find themselves unable to catch up.

“I always treated every race as if it were the Olympics, so when I raced in the Games I was mentally ready.”

Bonnie Blair – 5 Olympic Gold Medals Speedskating

“The real purposes of games is to teach us things that will be valuable for the rest of our lives.”

Fred Shoemaker Professional Golf Instructor

THE EDGE With more research and experience behind them, serious athletes are speaking out on

“I always believed that I had all the answers for my athletes, but suddenly I found I was helpless in dealing with an athlete’s

problem. I never really believed in sport psychologists.

That has changed.”

Joe Sweeney – Coach of Women’s Cross Country Running University of St. Thomas, MN TYPICAL SPORTS PERFORMANCE SESSIONS The sessions are generally conducted in a comfortable office setting, but can be held on site. The session usually includes a brief interview, instruction and practice, post session interview and discussion. Office sessions may be followed by actual physical performance on the field. These techniques should be tailored to meet your needs and may vary from individual to individual. Generally, the sessions last 20 to 50 minutes but may last up to a few hours.

Mental training is most effective in the context of a predetermined series of sessions.

These sessions may be daily, weekly or monthly, depending on personal needs and objectives. Although many athletes report significant progress toward their goal after only a few sessions, one must understand that it takes time to change.

“The feeling is what you are after, rather than just picturing it. It was through actually feeling it in my mind that I started to make all my jumps consistent.”

Brian Orser – Olympic Silver Medalist Figure Skater FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS How can I benefit by using mental training techniques?

You can benefit in many ways. Better preparation, increased confidence, and more focused performance. One Olympic caliber swimmer, who had plateaued for three years, set three personal bests in one meet, after just two sessions of mental training. editor@sportsfitnesswellness.com

Will messing with my mind hurt my performance?

No! You unconsciously use mental techniques all the time. Ever hear of psyching yourself up? Getting up for the game? Using mental training techniques in a structured and consistent way has been proven to enhance performance not hurt it.

Are these techniques proven, or will I be a guinea pig for someone?

Mental training is merely taking what you are already doing and structuring it. Most techniques are well known and safe. Although more research is needed, there is little that one needs to fear when working with a trained consultant.

Can these techniques be used to help injured athletes?

Yes! An exciting new area of sport psychology has to do with the psychological reduction of pain due to injury.

Psychological profiles of injury-prone athletes are emerging along with psychological methods to reduce pain and speed healing.

Structural Balance (Part 2) The Shoulder

If you missed (Part 1) in our Oct. 5th edition, it can be read online at sportsfitnesswellness.com, pages 32-33.

Contributed by Kevin Ensenat B.Sc., P.I.C.P.

In my previous article, I discussed the important, and often overlooked, concept of structural balance, taught to me by world-renowned strength coach Charles Poliquin. The human body is a beautiful and intricate machine. This machine, like all machines, requires a state of equilibrium or balance to function optimally and resist breakdown. This article is an overview of the importance of structural balance in the shoulder joint for optimal health and performance.

The shoulder is the most mobile joint in the human body.

Unfortunately, being the most mobile joint has its downfalls, which are lack of stability and strength. Entire books have been written about shoulder injuries. Trying to cover all shoulder problems is beyond the scope of a single article. So I feel it is best to begin with the rotator cuff. In my 18 years experience working as a strength and conditioning coach and soft tissue specialist, I have observed this group of muscles to be the most commonly injured area.

The rotator cuff is a group of four muscles: the supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor and subscapularis. These four muscles are collectively referred to as the S.I.T.S. muscles and are shown in the diagram.

The function of these muscles is to stabilize the head of the humerus, or upper arm bone, in the glenohumeral, or shoulder joint. They also elevate the shoulder as well as rotate and decelerate the arm. All of these muscles originate on the scapula, or shoulder blade, and insert on the humerus or upper arm bone.

Now that the anatomy lesson is over, let’s check out the three most common reasons for rotator cuff injuries:

Rotator Cuff Muscles Supraspinatus muscle

Subscapularis muscle

Infraspinatus muscle

Anterior shoulder 1.) A disproportionate strength ratio between the stronger and larger internal rotators and the smaller weaker external rotators will cause strain and tissue damage over time.

Far too many people spend the majority of their workouts focusing on the large internal rotators of the shoulder, with exercises such as presses, dips, pull-downs and chin-up variations, and focus little or no time training the external rotators. Over time, the larger muscles become too strong for the smaller rotator cuff muscles to adequately do their job.

The other problem with having an offset strength ratio is that the body will sense this and to protect itself from injury will “shut down” the larger muscles, causing a lack of progress in strength gains, as well as poor throwing velocities and sports performance.

2.) Repetitive stresses due to overuse in a particular sport or movement, such as those that involve throwing, swinging motions, and contact, will, over time, lead to tissue break down

Teres minor muscle

Posterior shoulder

and injury.

3.) The third problem, which may be caused by any of the aforementioned problems, is flexibility imbalances. Muscle inflexibility, or tightness in the larger more powerful internal rotators, causes poor mobility, impingement and excessive strain on the lengthened, weaker external rotators.

So now what? Fortunately, there is a way to help mitigate or prevent rotator cuff injuries. By incorporating proper rotator cuff exercises and stretches throughout the off-season to correct disproportionate strength and flexibility imbalances and incorporating in-season maintenance training programs, many injuries can be prevented and sports performance can be increased.

There are many exercises to help prevent and correct these problems. To start you on the right track, please visit my new blog page www.kstrength. wordpress.com for one of my favorite rotator cuff workouts I use with many of my athletes.

There you will find the exact sets

and reps, as well as full demonstrations in the video. If you are already suffering from shoulder pain or injuries, I recommend finding a qualified soft tissue specialist or massage therapist that utilizes Active Release Techniques and/ or Graston Technique to help repair the damaged tissue.

In the northern part of the country, baseball and softball fall seasons are coming to an end, and the off-season is about to begin. Now is the time to start addressing and correcting many of the muscle imbalances and wear and tear created throughout the long spring, summer and fall seasons. Start training properly now and have a more productive and injury free season next year!

Taking Action at Report-Card Time Contributed by Dr. Raymond J. Huntington

RIDGEWOOD, (Grassroots Newswire) October 18, 2011 - Your child’s first report card of the year can set the tone for the rest of the school year. If he or she brings one home that causes concern, Heather Ottagali of the Ridgewood Huntington Learning Center says the best thing to do is act early.

“If your child’s report card is a big surprise, the first thing you should do is arrange a meeting with his or her teacher,” says Ottagali. “He or she is your best resource to helping your child and will offer you strategies and ideas to help your child overcome problem areas.”

To make the most out of a meeting with your child’s teacher, Ottagali suggests jotting down discussion topics beforehand. Here are several questions to ask: What are the best ways for me to help at home? If your child’s report card mentions his or her lack of participation in class or unwillingness to collaborate with classmates, ask how you can work with your child on these things. If he or she receives a low grade, get a sense of what is contributing to the problem and what role you should take in helping your child do better.

What should I expect of my child at home? Certainly every student is different, but the teacher should be able to offer you a general idea of what your student should do at home. How much time should he or she spend on homework each night?

How much assistance should you be providing?

Can you give me examples?

The teacher reports that your child needs to follow directions better. Ask the teacher for specific instances of your child not doing so, so you can understand the situation. If your child received a poor grade in language, request to see samples of his or her class work and homework to see for yourself what he or she is doing wrong -- or failing to do -- as well as what he or she is do-

ing well.

Are there any signs that my child has any learning issues?

There may be many factors contributing to your child’s poor school performance, but if your child is struggling with basic skills or reading, or having difficulty concentrating or retaining information, the teacher may suggest supplemental education. In a busy classroom with many other students, it can be difficult for a teacher to give struggling students the one-on-one attention that they need. A diagnostic tutoring program may help correct any issues that are getting in the way of your child’s learning.

What should be my next steps and yours? Make a plan together to help your child and lay out how the two of you will keep each other apprised of your child’s progress.

Discuss the best way to communicate about any homework or other issues. Talk to the teacher about measuring improvement in between now and the next report card.

Ottagali also reminds parents that any interaction with your child’s teacher should be a twoway conversation, as he or she may have questions for you as well.

“Just as you want to learn what your child’s teacher thinks about your child’s struggles, he or she could benefit greatly from your parental insight and support,” says Ottagali. “Share information with your child’s teacher that may help him or her understand your child better. Be sure to stay in contact throughout the school year. By working together, you can help your child improve his or her grades and learn to enjoy school and learning.”

Mike Massenzio’s left hand finds Steve Cantwell.

HOUSTON, TX, October 8th, 2011 — New Jersey’s own Mike Massenzio was pitted against the last WEC (World Extreme Cagefighting) Light Heavyweight World Champion, Steve Cantwell. The bout was touted as “Cantwell’s comeback fight” and Massenzio was to be Cantwell’s “Stepping Stone” back to prominence. Apparently Massenzio hadn’t read the script, he didn’t cooperate. After the first round where Cantwell had a slight edge fighting a very technical battle and getting the better of Massenzio on 2 out of 3 judges cards, Massenzio roared back. He outstruck Cantwell by almost 30% by turning the fight from a technical battle into a “Paterson New

Jersey Street Brawl” as one MMA internet writer put it.

After shattering Cantwell’s nose in the second round, Massenzio’s left hand kept finding its home on Cantwell’s head.

Continually backing Cantwell up and pressuring him against the cage, Massenzio dominated the last two rounds on every judge’s card, giving him a unanimous decision in his comeback fight.

The Ironhorse Fight Team will have three fighters competing in Massachusetts on November 19th. For more information on MMA & Brazilian Jiu Jitsu classes, call 201.612.1429 or visit www.teamironhorse mma.com.
