Peak Performance

Learn about the 4 stages of a training cycle

 
 
 
 
Many professional players peak for certain tournaments each year.  By having a systematic training cycle, these players can perform well at the important tournaments.  There are usually four parts to the six-month season:  Pre-season, in-season, the peak tournament, and post-season.  In this article, I'm going to briefly outline how you can learn to peak for that one important tournament six months from now.

Developing New Skills

This article is based on a quote from my friend Don Hamilton.  He said, “Every time I step up to the table, I’m able to learn something or improve something during the course of the match.”

Forgiveness

by Samson Dubina on Sun, 2020-09-06 20:29
Matthew 18

Some people ask me how it is possible to forgive others.  The answer is that in light of the vast number of sins that God has forgiven me, I forgive others.  One of my favorite Bible passages to help explain this is from Matthew 18.
 
________________________________________________________________________________
 
Matthew 18:21-35
 
21 Then Peter came to Him and said, “Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Up to seven times?”
