“Fly!" |
That’s what Peter Frenette said he’ll be doing during the holidays. The Shaklee Pure Performance Team member will work to soar onto the U.S. team for the 2014 Games in Sochi. Peter is a ski jumper, so his flight is a bit more harrowing than the comfort and safety of a modern jetliner. Still, he’ll take some actions that will help him relish the holidays and still achieve his lofty goals. Likewise, Jamie Greubel and Curt Tomasevicz, both elite athletes and bobsledders on the Pure Performance Team, will also be “pushing” toward Sochi this month. And I guarantee they’ll repeat some of Peter’s holiday routines. And you can bet skiers Kris Freeman and Lanny and Tracy Barnes will follow the familiar formula for holiday success that most champion athletes have discovered.
Consider these essential elite athlete tips as you race through your holiday season:
Rest: The top athletes—as energetic and robust as they come—know that they’ll perform better with scheduled breaks or down time. Impossible as it may seem during this time of year, do what Kris Freeman does once in a while: glide downhill and enjoy the ride, even if just for a few hours a week.
Work: If you’re lucky enough to be away from the office or daily grind for several days, peel off of the couch and go burn some calories. You don’t need to push a 500 pound bobsled like Curt Tomasevicz, but some invigorating exorcise or fun physical activity can brighten your holidays immensely.
Give: Share the “spirit” with your loved ones! It’s the spirit of joy, spirit of gratitude, spirit of giving, and spirit of life. It may be the spirit of Christmas or Hanukah, or any other meaningful celebration, but it will be more special to all if you share it exuberantly with those around you.
Gather: Most of the winter athletes on the Pure Performance Team are currently in the selection process for the 2016 Games. That means they’ll likely be far from their families, and possibly in a foreign country. But they’ll gather with their teammates and celebrate the bonds that last far beyond their competitive careers. How about us? Many of our loved ones are close by—grab them and squeeze tight for a three-heartbeat hug you’ll cherish forever!
Dream: What’s behind the gold medals, the championships, and incredible athletic feats or our Pure Performance Team heroes? The same magic that can help make your holidays memorable and great: dreams.
On behalf of the athletes of the Shaklee Pure Performance Team and the leadership and staff of Shaklee Corporation all around the world, I wish you a happy holiday season. You deserve it!
