Greetings From Coach J
|
|
|
Welcome to JDS Sportcoaching's pre-season
newsletter. We're excited to begin our sixth season
of coaching excellent athletes. We are creating our
best season ever - and many of our athletes and
colleagues are doing the same! The intention is out
there and it's a great time to start thinking about
generating your next level!
For myself, I am generating my next level of cycling.
A heart virus and subsequent pacemaker implant in
2001 put a pause on serious fitness and competition
for me, but in 2006 I'm back! This season I will finish
in the top half and be competitive in the Men's 35+
and Category 3 road races that I enter.
Put your intentions out there! Email
us with your next
level for the 2006 season and if we publish it in our
April newsletter, you will receive a free pair of JDS
Sportcoaching socks by DeFeet.

It's been a busy off-season for JDS Sportcoaching
with the development of several new program
offerings and staffing changes intended to help
athletes generate their next performance level in the
2006 season.
For the first time ever, JDS Sportcoaching is offering
women-centered cycling coaching programs, as well
as placing a new emphasis on importance of nutrition
planning and equipment consultation and fitting for
every athlete.
Also new for 2006...get your gear at the same place
you get your coaching. We've been working to bring
you quality shirts, hats, sock and more at reasonable
prices. We now offer CoolMax training shirts, XTerra
Zorrel technical tee-shirts, hats by Headsweats and
two styles of socks by DeFeet. These great products
sport our logo and reasonable pricing. Soon, you'll be
able to purchase them directly from our online
store. Until then, call 303.744.2766 or email
us to order.

Whether you define yourself as family, life partner,
parent, friend, significant other or “better” half, if
you share your life with a dedicated cyclist, you are
a fellow Stoker and we’d love to meet you!
We are The Stokers, a social club of cycling groupies
that meets regularly in support and acknowledgement
of ourselves and our cycling partners. We get
together to create the other half of the cycling
team, sometimes driving the sag wagon during
training rides, sometimes attending events, but every
time, just getting together whenever to do
whatever we feel like doing.
Do you know any Stokers? Please let them know
about our "support group". Our first meet and greet
of the 2006 cycling season is a late morning of
coffee and pastries. All Stokers are welcome to join
us in planning our season.
- WHEN: 11 February, 11am
- WHERE: The Butter's House (1129 Pennsylvania,
Denver)
- CONTACTS: Karen (303.744.2766 or email
) or Tawni (303.358.3227 or email)
“Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen
hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh.
Choose with no regret. Appreciate your friends.
Continue to learn. Do what you love. Live as this is
all there is.”

Summit Cancer Solutions is a non-profit organization
that provides exercise programs specifically designed
for cancer survivors. The programs focus on
empowering the body and soul through exercise.
SCS programs are currently offered at offered at five
locations in the Denver metro area, but the vision of
Karen Hornbostel, Executive Director and former
professional cyclist, is to share the power of exercise
by bringing the programs to more people and facilities
in 2006.
I have a particular affinity with this vision not only as
a coach, but as the son of a cancer survivor. In
1985, my mother lost her battle with cancer. She
fought and survived 5 years, in part thanks to her
dedication to her swimming. As I've learned more
about Karen Hornbostel and SCS's vision for cancer
survivors, I've become inspired by their mission. I'm
committed to helping the organization raise $750,000
this year through a variety of charitable events.
How am I going to do this? By spreading the message
of this valuable community program! I know that with
connections to others who are touched, moved and
inspired by what Summit Cancer Solutions program
has to offer, we can help raise the $$ needed to
bring exercise programs to more cancer patients and
survivors, as well as bring awareness of the
program's value and life-changing possibilities to local
oncology professionals and the larger community.
- Do you know someone who could benefit from
Summit Cancer Solutions' program?
- Want to help share Summit Cancer Solutions'
vision, but don't know how?
- Would you like to share your great ideas for a
charitable event?
Give me a call or email
today!
