The Long Road ·

2023/12/02

As a California native with a family that arrived in California in the late 1800s, I have some real-world comments on the lies being told by CA Governor Gavin Newsom last night on the Fox News debate. I'm reporting what I saw with my own eyes living in CA and how what Newsom is telling you is NOT true.If you want America to fail like California--back Newsom along with his far-left Democratic agenda.

2023/10/20

Here's another share from 1940 about the critical role of K-12 education in teaching our children what it takes through health and PE in order to protect and preserve America. NO ONE is currently prioritizing mandatory daily physical education in our K-12 schools across America, meaning, we are NOT ready.Source: "The Role of Health and Physical Education in National Defense" by Leslie W.

Frustration & Aggression

The Long Road ·

2023/10/15

When people are frustrated, they react in aggression. The levels of aggression can vary with the amount of frustration. Ideally, we are taught how to channel our frustrations into appropriate physical and cathartic manifestations of aggression, but if you are not physically literate and lack the actual physical skills to be aggressive without hurting your body--what do you do? The pressure builds up until you explode. This is another reason to have proper physical education in K-12 schools so our

"The social life of people reflects their morale and conditions their morale."-National Preparedness Committee (1940)In September of 1940, America was on the verge of a world war again. Plans were published to get ready before Americans were called to duty because the vitality and overall fitness of our youth do not occur overnight, but rather, over YEARS of proper training."A Plan for National Preparedness" was published in September 1940 by the Journal of Health and Physical Education.

"Life in its lowest terms is a matter of passing the time." -Randolf Bourne (1916)Randolf Bourne (1886-1918) was one of the "young radicals" during the WWI era. He was classically educated and an insider to the intelligentsia.

My master's thesis was on "Mental Skills Training for Youth Sport Coaches, Athletes, and Parents." I share this to help adults help children have the best developmental experience possible. Youth sports was a positive influence on my life as an adult, and as a youth sports coach, I know the kids really need positive team experiences that build sportsmanship, citizenship, discipline, character, and all while having fun and finding deeper joy too. Here are the top five performance interventions that

Youth Sports?

Are we doing more harm than good with American youth sports? Many programs are actually doing more harm. Our kids would literally be better off NOT playing organized sports the way some of these programs are being conducted. Here are some facts on psychological research and history regarding youth sports that should be helpful.*Photo Credit: Richard Olsen Negatives, Box 001, Image 0007-CA Women Beach Volleyball

Hands are critically important for brain development--but the use of large muscle activities that involve legs, arms, shoulders, etc. are also mandatory for the development of young children--including health and wholesome living!

*Language warning on this show! We are being told that the US munitions supply is so low that it can take up to 18 years to replenish some of it. I'm calling BS and citing the real America as evidence. At the beginning of WWII, America went from no ammunition industry after WWI to creating the "Arsenal of Democracy" that not only supplied US forces in WWII but also supplied the allies. Let's get into the deeper reasons why we are being told it takes years to make ammunition.*Correction! The author

Bed Rotting & History

2023/07/11

There is something "new" trending with our young people called "Bed Rotting." It's where our youth stay in bed for days on end looping on Netflix or TikTok videos, etc. It's actually nothing new although the modern tech in bed is new. In the late 1800s, a neuropsychic condition developed--people tried to cure it with more bed rest--it backfired. People then realized what people needed to heal themselves mentally was NOT more bed rest but less bed rest and more PHYSICAL work! Here's a look back so

Gallop Poll conducted the study and put together a 24-page 221-question survey on diet, health, birthplace, climate, and heredity. The subjects were all 95 or older. Here's a summary of foods, fluid intake, tobacco use, health, body size, physical activity, religion, family, and heredity. The results are staggering when you consider what is going on today.
