Dear Reader,

Almost, but not quite there. I tried to publish the April edition of Sports Chi but ran out of time. I got caught up in trying to earn a crust - marketing, organising and delivering Chair Chi workshops.

But I'm back on track. In this issue there’s an article on muscle pain relief, a Tai Chi Tip on balance, a motivational clip of an autistic basketball player, an amusing quote, a coaching tip and a Lao Tzu quote.

Regards

Muscle Pain Relief

Here’s a handy article regarding muscle pain relief by Patricia Carswell.

She covers eight techniques which include: ‘have a massage; foam rolling; hot and cold treatment; stretch it out; eat your way out of pain; chill out; sleep tight; and get back in the gym’.

I do seven out of eight of her suggestions, on a regular basis, when it comes to muscle soreness due to training. The one tip I don’t do is eat my way out of pain - that's a new one to me.

Tai Chi Tip: Balance

Direct your mind to sink your weight into the supporting leg, as you step forward or backward.

Do this slowly so you can get a good workout.

I couldn't resist sharing this quote from Philosophy Matters. It's from a lesser known ancient Greek philosopher.

'ehh, good enough'
