Another Proud BAR Moment

If you read the newsletter then you'll notice the article about CJ and Josh doing really well with there baseball career. What I didn't mention is another one of our athletes David Darnell is also excelling at a high level.

David was an outfielder for Mountain Pointe High School and then went on to West Pointe to represent our country, get an education and play a little baseball in the meantime.

I was flipping through the channels while I was watching Utah play Fullerton during the regional and noticed that Army was playing the University of Texas in a similar regional. Now The BAR had three athletes playing in a regional... absolutely a cool moment in my life.

While we are on this subject of kids that have excelled; for some strange reason I heard through the grapevine that a parent told a friend of mine that they hated us because all we want to do is make kids throw up! Seriously lady? What good would that do if that was our focus?

This is how it works. There are two potential issues that cause someone to vomit during exercise. Number one, a new athlete that hasn't worked out in a while or ever for that matter.. exercise is a shock to the body causing all kinds of stuff to be out of wack in the nervous system. Another part of that is that these are athletes we are working with which means that they push themselves very hard even if we ask them to pay attention to what there body is telling them. Hard working people will always be hard working people and wussy's will be wussy's!

The other thing that happens is that these kids each junk prior to coming to workout. When they eat cereal or pop tarts, all that they've done is spike there insulin levels which is basically giving them really high levels of energy, which in turn throws there nervous system off again.. forcing vomit.

For the lady who thinks that vomit is our goal, get with the program and stop babying your kid. If you want a baby sitter take your high school kid to Tutor Time, if you want your kid to play for a regional championship then let us do our job and help us out at home by helping with your kid's nutrition.... FYI, all three of those kids above puked at one point in time... now there school is paid for and they continue to come back for training during the off season. Funny how that works!
