DeAndre' Austin, and a few of his young athletes. It is very difficult for me to write an article,
not that I do not have enough information on a topic but just the opposite, I have too much.
It is much easier for me to present at a seminar where I can direct the topic towards the majority
of the people in attendance or stay on a topic longer if I feel the majority do not quite understand
what I am saying. In other words, I can make a seminar more personal.
The other issue is that in
this day and age of technology there is an enormous amount of incorrect
information being spread across the world wide web by individuals who have the gift of writing very
eloquently but do not have a clue about what they just wrote.

In other words, they talk
the talk but do not walk the walk. They
also haven't produced an athlete at
any level, much less a winning athlete. And because of the internet many coaches and personal trainers
are being exposed to topics that they do not understand and have no knowledge on how to implement
into an athlete's training.

The bottom line is that I
am brutally honest. I do not pull
punches and if I offend someone unintentionally
they need to grow thicker skin. I take my job very seriously. I know that in my position I am a role
model and accept it. Parents trust me with their young athletes' future potential.

I am not going to change
my tone and I am not going to be "nice". The only thing I will do is keep my
language clean because the topics I will write about should be read by both the parents and the athletes.

Even though I train
athletes I also educate them. At the
same time it is also important that the parents
are also educated so that they will understand what I am doing to their athletes.

There are so many topics I
could write about which also makes it difficult for me to write an
article.
I may write an article on a topic based on a trend or something which I realize needs to be made known.
I cannot promise any patterns. The only thing I will promise is that I will do my best to educate and most definitely be brutally honest.

And so it begins.
