Here are some more information for Peak Hold:

Sports performance anxiety is a condition that affects millions of athletes across all kinds of playing fields. It disrupts the peak performance of players all the way from seasoned professionals to the youngest of children.

If you have ever felt the anxious heartbeats, the nervous stomach, or flinching muscles of performance anxiety, than cheer up, you are not alone. The good news is that you can turn your sport's anxiety into pure power, and unleash your true potential.

Remember how great it feels to come to your game filled with excitement, to play at your peak and win a tough contest? That's what you play for - the joy of winning! In fact, the tougher the challenge, the sweeter the victory.

Let's look at the worst thing to do when nervous verses the best:

The worst way to handle a feeling of athletic jitters is what I call the...

"Oh-Crap-Not-Now!" mistake

This is also known as "Fearing the Fear."

If you have any memory of feeling anxious and losing because of it, than the next time you feel a wash of nerves, your reaction is to almost freak out. (usually subconsciously) I've seen athletes so angry at the emotion itself, that instead of having fun, they are fighting their own bodies thinking,

"Oh crap, not here, not now, not this again."

Then they go on to wonder what it means as in,

"Am I going to suck? What's wrong with me?"

This hurts their performance which results in more fears like,

"What are people thinking of me now?"

That is not the empowerment you are looking for, as it totally distracts you from focusing on the perfect present moment, and competing in a state of flow.

What to do instead:

Instead of giving power to your fears, the big idea is to recognize that the fear means nothing! It is simply a conditioned response to some data. It means you have a habit that was instilled before you knew you had a choice in the matter.

Breathe!

Take a deep breath - and I mean deep. Breathe in to the count of four, hold it to the count of four, exhale to the count of four, and hold that exhale. That alone will slow your heartbeat.

These next steps can all be spoken in one breath:

1. -Acknowledge the distressing emotion

2. -Offer love and acceptance anyway

3. -Create an empowering choice

So, you relax with a breath, and stand like a winner and say to yourself,

"Even though I hate this anxiety, I love and accept myself anyway, and I choose to have fun and play like a pro."

As you do this through a couple of breaths, you will find the anxiety disappears, and you are left with an image of yourself playing at your peak.

Ecuador Holds Historical Cultural and Natural Wonders

Although the smallest of all the Andean countries, The Republic of Ecuador holds historical, cultural and natural wonders befitting an entire continent. Straddling not only two hemispheres but also two worlds, the ancient and the modern. This tiny republic with its remnants of past civilizations and Spanish conquests offers the traveller a striking blend of landscapes, peoples and cultures.

From ancient markets of the indigenous peoples, Amazon tributaries, Inca ruins, Andean peaks, 16th century churches, and the wildlife rich Galapagos Islands, Ecuador boasts an incredible diversity which belies its diminutive size. Indigenous cultures, tropical forests, active volcanoes, and a wealth of animal and bird life are all highly accessible within a matter of hours in a country no bigger than the US State of Colorado.

Once the Inca Empires northernmost territory, successive waves of invaders have left their indelible mark on the country. The remains of Inca and pre Inca fortresses dot hill tops across the Sierra, while in the highland valleys Quechua speaking Indiana sell traditional handicrafts in thousand year old markets. The beautifully preserved cities of Quito and Cuenca, both rich in 16th century art and architecture, and the elegant colonial haciendas found throughout the conquests and three hundred years of Spanish rule.

The Ecuadorian Dollar is the official unit of currency, but the US Dollar is accepted throughout Ecuador at equal value.

Temperatures and rainfall vary depending on the region, altitude, and seasonal factors

The Ministry of Tourism is working on many projects to develop tourist activity in Ecuador. In the Ministry section you will find detailed information on these projects, institutional information, and important contacts of the different offices within the Ministry.

Ecuador has many tourist destinations where you can participate in a variety of activities. You can practice mountain biking, climbing, rafting, or scuba diving, as well as visiting archaeological sites, museums, or theatres.

Straddling the equator, this small nation is richly endowed with snowy Andean peaks towering over emerald green slopes, rivers winding through tropical jungles, and beyond all this in the Pacific, lie the Galapagos Islands. Located in the Pacific Ocean and approx. 1000 km off the coast of Ecuador, directly on the equator, the isolation of the islands has permitted life forms to evolve into species found only in Galapagos. This was observed by Charles Darwin, and his research contributed to the fame of the islands. It is a dramatic and beautiful world of volcanic landscapes and fearless animals: Giant Tortoises, Fur Seals, Sea Lions, Land and Sea Iguanas and many species of birds. A visit to this impressive wildlife sanctuary will be a memorable experience for those who appreciate nature.

Would you trade Moss and Hasselbeck FOR Anderson and Coles?

My starter is Brady, and I need a quarterback towards the end of the season when the Pats ("knock on wood") have everything all wrapped up.

No way. Not as long as Brady is throwing to Moss.
