Your success will come.One way to keep your dream alive is to constantly visualize your success. Role play it in your mind. Then step out of your mind and role play your future success by acting it out.Really act it out. As a young wrestler I used to make an award stand in my bed room and role play getting up on the #1 spot after hearing the my name announced as the champion. Sounds corny but this stuff works.Another way is to make a feature film of your success in your mind and create a "highlight" trailer and play it constantly in your mind. www.LeeKemp.com Lee Kemp http://www.flowrestling.org/blogs/blogger/Lee Kemp/9113-message-94-keep-believing-in-your-miracle Thu, 05 Nov 2009 14:15:00 -0500 http://www.flowrestling.org/articles/view/1527-pennsylvania-youth-wrestling-joins-flonetwork Pennsylvania Youth Wrestling is a site that compiles the best wrestling info in the great state of PA.

For example; energy, effort and love, ect. We all hold something back. Holding back is the key reason we have Mediocre performances and experiences. Giving all you've got is the Key to Exceptional performance and experiences. Do you want to be EXCEPTIONAL ... or ... average? Just by waking up in the morning...You've Made it to the "Average" Club. What you do after that makes all the difference. Holding back is why people sometimes fail. When you hold back you never fully know what may have happened if you went "all out". Have you ever seen a person Passionate about something 'holding back"? Great Desire and Intentions are wonderful things to have... but ... Great Effort is more important. This is the classic "thinking about doing something versus actually doing it". "Remember Doing Something and Thinking about Doing Something Yields Entirely Different Results." The reason why some people don't "go all out" and give (what ever it is) all they've got is because they have a belief that what ever it is they are giving; energy, effort, love etc., is LIMITED and needs to be conserved and rationed, for fear it is going to run out (kind of like time in a day). By having this belief we gauge, on a case by case basis, how much we're going to give to something. Another reason for not going "all out" is Fear of Faliure. I'll address that in a later blog entry. IF WE GUESS WRONG BY GIVING "TOO LITTLE" .... often times WE FAIL at what ever it is we're doing! This scenario is especially bad because if fosters failure and mediocrity, and if we succeed it's just as bad because if fosters an attitude of low output EXPECTING good results. Strangely enough... WHAT DRAINS US OF OUR; ENERGY, EFFORT, LOVE (what ever) is the act of holding it back... not giving it 100%. WATCH THIS.... The more you hold back, or conserve something i.e., your ENERGY, EFFORT, LOVE (what ever), the more NARROW the channels through which "it" can flow WHEN YOU REALLY NEED IT or WANT IT! If you give it all at 100% the channel opens and flows freely. Example; if you hold back physical effort in athletic practices... the more difficult it is to give it (and express it) when you need it - to have the desired performance outcome. Another EXAMPLE; the more you hold back love... the more difficult it is to give it (and express it) when you need to. This applies to everything. Think about it... People that freely and fully give 100% of their Effort towards something seem to have an unending supply of it... and are usually successful at what ever they're doing. YOU DECIDE WHAT YOU WANT AND THEN GIVE IT EVERYTHING YOU'VE GOT...EVERY DAY! www.LeeKemp.com Lee Kemp http://www.flowrestling.org/blogs/blogger/Lee Kemp/8902-message-93-are-you-holding-back Thu, 22 Oct 2009 11:56:00 -0500 http://www.flowrestling.org/articles/view/1493-wyoming-seminary-joins-the-flonetwork Wyoming Seminary has joined the FloNetwork. Wyoming Seminary, or more affectionately known as "Sem," is the oldest coeducational independent college preparatory school in Northeastern Pennsylvania.

A while back Mitch Hull was telling me a father called in and wanted to know what he could do so his kids would be Olympic champions. His children were 3 and 5, and Mitch described how ridiculous the question was. And I agreed, it is completely ridiculous. But I’ve also been to little kids tournaments and I understand how serious some parents take it. Chances are those two kids are going to get some serious beatings unless they get good. So I’m going to tell you the secret to success. Someone on Flo said that I was the only one who knows the secret to success. I got called out for hiding it. So I will tell. There are a ton of books out about success. Malcolm Gladwell almost got it right in outliers. However, he beats around the bush so much you’d wonder if he really knows the answer. Convenience. If success is convenient, it will happen. Most great cities are located near water. It is much more convenient to support more people. Agriculture made surviving a lot more convenient. The printing press made selling books more convenient. And cars make traveling more convenient. The internet has made the transfer of information much more convenient. This is the success of whole industries. The most important factor for the individual is still convenience. I always tell people school is a waste of time. Going to Northwestern just happened to be convenient. I got accepted. I didn’t work incredibly hard in high school or grade school. Most of the time I didn’t even do my homework until five minutes before class. But I was always surrounded by smart people; it made it easy to learn. I grew up in the right area of Illinois for wrestling. I went to a school in one of the best high school conferences in the nation. I had world class coaches and the best competition. And then I went to a college that had a lot of great wrestlers at my weight with more great coaches. The world around me made the real difference. Talent, hard work, and dedication just separated me from a very few other guys with the same opportunity. (and most of them had roughly the same success) By convenient, I mean without difficulties, not necessarily easy. I wake up in the morning and I have to walk two minutes to practice. I don’t have to search everywhere for someone to wrestle. And they are the best wrestlers and coaches at my fingertips. It’s all there. My only requirement is to do what I need to do. Simple. Money makes things everything more convenient. This is the true measure of money being equated to success. It is much easier to succeed at whatever you want when you have money. Punishment and reward is a failing system. People rarely measure the outcomes of their actions since we often see things turn out in a way we didn’t expect them to. Outside of the direct consequence of feeling guilty or proud, or the immediate emotions before we do something, we will make our decisions based on what is convenient. The first person to smile at us is the person we befriend. If that friend does drugs, we’ll do drugs. If that person is intelligent, we’ll learn. If you recognize what you want, you can make success more convenient. But it requires you to inconvenience yourself. That is the American dream, not hard work and rugged individualism. A bunch of immigrants inconvenience themselves by moving across an ocean where they don’t speak the language. In our country it’s a lot more convenient to succeed financially then in Uzbekistan. So my advice is just please don't beat your kids. Move to the right part of the country with the right coaches and wrestling partners, preferably have twins and then leave the rest up to the big doG.

For wrestlers it may mean proper diet, live wrestling, film study, flexibility, strength & conditioning, proper rest... etc. We know deep down that this is the same with any endeavor. So, coach, let's apply this thinking to program development. What can you do to develop your program? Off-season training, fundraising, film study with athletes, expose athletes to sport psychology, alumni development, hire more staff, event promotion... I can go on. To do all of these you need money and support. To get money and support you need a marketing plan. Marketing leads to more fans which leads to more respect from your administration which will give you more administrative support (financially and otherwise). Marketing leads to more alumi involvement which leads to more money (bring them into the fold then ask for money). Marketing leads to greater media coverage which leads to more participants and more attendance and more community involvement. Marketing leads to more exitement around your program which leads to a stronger fan-base which gives you more money and more respect from the administration which in turn gives you more support. Marketing can help our sport more than any other single action that we can take. Ok... so you're sold on marketing. Where do you start? Get a Facebook Page for your program. Send a press release to your local media about the "big story" in your program this year (yes, there is a big story... figure it out). Create an annual giving campaign. Do something. Anything. But be persistent. (see Program Development: The Systems Approach)   Jim Harshaw http://www.flowrestling.org/blogs/blogger/Jim Harshaw/8677-whats-missing Sun, 27 Sep 2009 19:19:00 -0500
