Hey America how is it going? I know it has been a short while, but your brother here has been busy in ole Tucson. As we all know back to school has gone by and man does it fell great to not be in the swing of that thing again, even though i will miss the Brevard Parties, me and Greenies! Any who back to school here has been choas to the max, it was so crazy we even had a few late nighters building cruisers for the kids. Although we did have a little fun with it as well...

I think i have built about a hundred of those damn cruiser, and let me tell you they are a pain. Besides that I had my road bike stolen, but as we remember with the original S-Works and not the Gnome that with death there is life, and I now have a new street bike that kicks azz, and let me tell you its sick gnar for street huckin...
FIRE TRUCK
Finally the weather has been getting nicer and nicer i can actually say we have had some beautiful days and more to come. With great weather comes great biking, so i have been schredding more and more and loving every minute of it. On my days off i have actually had the chance to get some 5 hour rides in although 2 parts road and 1 part mountain, its still getting my ride on. We all know what happens when i ride, AWESOME!

The only problem I have out here is the snakes they are everywhere, literally everywhere. I have had several run ins with rattlers, the key is to ride as fast past them as possible, and that is how i have learned to avoid any sticky situations if you know what i mean. Although the snake are scary i enjoy the company of the tarantulas, they are awsome to watch!

50 = Gold, in years together and trails to shred!
Took the old single speed out for a little 50 year trail action, my favorite place to ride in Tucson. I meet up with Danemeister faceplant the shop downhill extrodinaire for a little gnar sesh. He showed me the good lines we even saw a gila monster, sick brah. We ripped and shredded, just the normal carnage for a couple of extreme dudes. Sucks that the ride had to end though, cause that just ment it was time to head home and get ready for work. Sundays are nice cause they are short lets you get in late and leave early that way you can get some good riding and hanging out time, you all know im just Living The Dream!

Leadership is an act of duty
Leadership is an act of duty to bond two or more persons together to obtain the objectives.
Often you may see a player who is good and then wonder why in a season or two that player with such potential has faded away. One of the most important reasons why good players fade away and fail to realize their potential is they fail to embrace leadership opportunities. In each game and training, there are numerous opportunities to pull together two or more players to share how working together will achieve objectives and better performance.

1. Leadership The person in best and most powerful position for leadership is the one nearest to the action. Consider the following two situations:
(Scenario 1) Player A arrives late at practice. Upon arrival the nearest player to player A, which is player B, will bring the issue to attention. If player A holds grudges to player B for holding Player A accountable, any other player of the team should intervene in support of player B.
(Scenario 2) During the game player A has the ball. Player B is covering 8 yards behind player A on goal side. The decision selections are: penetration, deep ball, reload or play outside. Because player B is not under pressure and has the best view, player B must decide the best course of action. Player C, the second closest player, facilitates through reinforcement and feedback/learning process after action.
2. is an act of duty Ability involves responsibility; power is duty. With power there is a duty of leadership to oneself and to others. A person who is committed to the team will pay attention and provide feedback to how his teammates can do better.
He advices about which play to make. He assists others in spacing and molding. He concerns himself about the well-being of teammates. He includes bench players. He holds accountable when his team can do better. He offers support to the ideas of others.
3. to bond two or more persons together Successful performance is not as much decided by talent and individual effort as it is supported by a group of players. Therefore with a group most time and effort is focused on communication of plans and evaluation. Good communication is the hardest skill to develop, thus the team must learn first how and when to communicate.
4. to obtain the objectives While the big picture is winning the championship, accomplishing the small objectives will get you there.
What consistent support do you need around you to play the ball? When penetrating which four players provide cover? Who plays zone and who plays man marker? How and when will we double to win the ball? What time do we arrive before a game and train as a team together? How do we warm-up? Who has the freedom to explore creatively?
There are several reasons why players resist leading. One, they are afraid what they are saying is wrong. Two, they assume if it is important somebody else will lead. And, three, they assume if nobody else is saying something apparently it was not a problem at all.
The benefits of leadership are: First of all, you have peace of mind that you did everything you could have done. Second, you become more knowledgeable as to what leadership style is effective and what is not. Third, you revealed who is motivated who is not. Fourth, you enhance the level of commitment and thinking of the team. Finally, you help the team accomplish objectives.
