Bulldogs Creating History!!

The Kaiapoi Bulldogs have the opportunity to CREATE history this weekend (26th Aug 07 at 3pm) as we play Linwood for the Christchurch Rugby League Grand Final!

Kaiapoi have NEVER won the local competition EVER!! It's the club's 50th anniversary this year and we lost our trainer Harry Toka to a heart attack late last year, so we have lots to play for!!

Can the bulldogs win the grand final for the first time? Well, you will have to turn up on Sunday at 3pm Rugby League park to find out!!

I'm really looking forward to the game, I mean I'm in a team that has the opportunity to create history how cool is that!!

I love the Bulldogs, it reminds me of my home town Putaruru, small and everyone supports and follows league!! In the era of professionalism in rugby or league Kaiapoi Bulldogs are still about family!

********* BJJ Training ********
Last week I took the week off ANY training and the week before that I didn't follow my "plan" of weights!

While I have come up with the "ideal" plan for the Aussie Nationals, I'm starting to take a more relaxed approach. After attending John Will's seminar I'm trying to take away some of my "win" mentality.

As he puts it, it's all about having fun when you are rolling around so just play and when it's time to WIN which is 10% of the time on the mat then "let it happen"!

In other words after looking at my strengths/weaknesses, all I'm doing in my training is increasing my STRENGTHS i.e. My training consists of increasing my Strength, Power & Fitness!

Weaknesses are Technical, which is time on the mat!! If I'm about "winning" I use my main tool (strength) ALL the TIME and don't develop my Technical game!!

I entered the tournament not to WIN but to LEARN, while my EGO told me to win, my true self (with the help of people and learning) has brought me back to full circle.

I told you that EGO won't get the better of me :-)

Take care and GO the BULLDOGS!!
