Things I’ve learned from My Kid’s Hockey Somehow it happened. I’m the veteran hockey mom, the oldest mom with a child on the tyke team. She is my third. It is many of the other parents’ first child to lace on the skates. Forget that I’ve been running a “Hockey Mom” website for 6 years, these parents want to know the order to put on equipment, the way to the rink in the next town, how to get the music going in the sound room.

When I look at video from my kids earliest days on skates, it’s easy to see the progress they have made. They are faster, stronger, smarter players. They have grown a foot. They have been through 6 pairs of skates each. They don’t need my help getting their gear on, and I am certainly not welcome in the dressing room. What is less obvious is the growth that I’ve undergone, which I guess maybe is how it happens as an adult. It got me thinking about the things I’ve learned about being a sports parent, and the things I wish I had known earlier. I asked over 20,000 Hockey Moms on my Facebook page what they had learned also, and then compiled them into this list.

1. Time goes quickly. Far too quickly. So you know how your tyke players are screaming at each other and a fight has broken out in the corner and two players are crying and you just got your child suited up and now they have to pee? Cherish every moment. Because it will be over soon, and you’ll be that mom who is no longer needed in the dressing room and who doesn’t get to partake in that pregame excitement. Savour every second. Tyke days are the best.

2. It’s not about you. The sooner you learn this, the happier you will be, and the further you will find yourself from the “politics” of hockey. Ask yourself each time you get riled up, is this about me? Or is this really about the well-being of my child. If it’s about your child, you can, and should speak up. And you can, and should if it’s about the well-being of another child as well.

3. Bribes are not good ideas. Are you that parent who pays for goals? Stop it. Now. You are not helping anyone, and certainly not the coach or other players on the team. Hockey is a team sport. You know exactly what paying for goals does, discourages passing. By the way, I have also seen goalies who are paid for saves. It once resulted in a child crying in net during the second period, because she was not getting enough shots. True story.

4. You will be with people you don’t hang out with normally. Deal with it. You know that saying you can pick your friends but you can’t pick your family? You can’t pick your hockey family either. Unless you are the coach. Then I guess you can, technically. Hockey has encouraged me to find some common ground with people that would not normally be in my circle of friends. It has also lead me to some of the best friends of my life that I would not have met otherwise. I’ve learned to surround myself with the most positive hockey parents, and I’ve carried this into the “real” world.

5. It has to be fun. Hockey is no fun for anyone unless it is fun for your kid(s). Each child thrives in different environments. Triple A, house league, whatever it is, is fine, if your child is having fun. If it’s not fun, I find ways to make it fun, if that

doesn’t work. I know for sure that as soon as it’s not fun, my kids will be finished with hockey.

6. It is ok to miss that hockey camp/extra ice. Like many parents, I initially worried about missing hockey camps and extra ice and signed my kids up for far too much. It results in burn out, empty pockets and empty bank accounts. I don’t worry about that so much anymore, and guess what? The result has a direct impact on #6, hockey becomes more fun.

7. Used equipment is ok. It is not worth it to go over your hockey budget for the sake of equipment they will outgrow in six months. With the exception of a good helmet, there is no reason used equipment can’t get you by.

8. Don’t yell at kids. Enough said.

9. Don’t yell at opposing parents. Unless they yell at you first. Or are yelling at kids. OK, I do my very best when watching a game to never yell at a child, or a parent. To me yelling is not setting the example I want for my child and the other players on the team. That being said, if a parent from the opposing team is going to be abusive towards our players or parents, I don’t have a problem speaking up and asking them to set a better example. An example was when one large man yelled “Actor! You should be in movies!” at my son who was down, hurt, after being cross checked. His comment initially earned the man a confused stare. When he walked down the stairs during intermission and told me I should be embarrassed of our team and the “acting”, I may have let him have a few choice words. His response? He gave me the finger as he walked away. See? Really there is no rational reason to yell at parents. It does no good.

10. Sometimes life is not fair and adults make bad decisions. No one is perfect, and most coaches, referees, executive members, you name it, don’t claim to be. Sometimes people are going to make decisions that you disagree with. They could be devastating at the time. They could hurt your child’s feelings. The thing is, life is full of unfair decisions and events. I’ve learned to help my children use these unfair instances to teach them about resilience and perseverance. And I’ve learned to do the same.

I could go on about the things I have learned, but I’m more interested in hearing what you have to say. Join the Canadian Hockey Mom conversations on our website

IMPACT YOUR GAME Through Proper Nutrition

I have had the privilege of having conversations with many hockey greats, including Darryl Sittler, Ken Dryden, Cassie Campbell, Ron McLean and Don Cherry. After my coaching career I had the pleasure of doing evaluations/scouting for the National U18 Girls Team for years. Others say,” One thing for sure is…Traci knows nutrition!!!”

The hockey season is in full swing, playoffs will soon be here and then we will start preparing for next seasons try-outs. How an athlete chooses to fuel their body can make a huge difference in being a good athlete and being an elite player. A team that follows a sound nutritional program will be able to compete at a much higher level than those teams that don’t.

For the athlete it should be all about preparation, the food ingested before and after each game or practice has a direct effect on performance. Getting the nutritional edge is going to be what separates a player from the others. Nutrition can be intimidating, as there is a lot to learn! It is best to start simple, a few small changes at a time, this way you will be successful. You will notice the changes in your energy very quickly and also your concentration, which in the game of hockey is key, as it is 90% mental and 10% physical.

Inadequate calories will accelerate fatigue, increase muscle breakdown and contribute to poor performance. So how should players prepare for each practice, game and the season?

Each player is uniquely different so you may have to experiment to see what works best for you. Some players need four hours to digest their pre-game meal while others may only require two. Having enough energy to fuel your athletic needs is key. Managing your nutritional needs also involves understanding your body’s needs.

PRE-GAMEEat a high carbohydrate, high calorie meal to last throughout the game. Carbohydrates can actually be found in all four food groups, fruits and vegetables, grain products, meat and alternatives. I suggest avoiding red meat as these are heavy and they will only slow players down. If you choose to have a snack one hour prior to your ice time I suggest having one carbohydrate and one protein. Some examples are; half a sandwich with a fruit, yogurt and berries, crackers with almond butter, some hummus with vegetables or a hard-boiled egg with vegetables.

POST-GAMEAfter practice or a game, athletes should eat within an hour to restore the calories lost during ice time. If you can eat within 15-20 minutes that is best. Hockey is a high intensity sport with repetitive maximal outbursts therefore players use an immense number of calories during ice times which must be replaced. Protein, flax

and other oils, vegetables and carbs will provide critical benefits.

HYDRATIONDuring ice time hydration is key to optimize performance and also to prevent injuries. Frequent small sips throughout your ice time will avoid dehydration which leads to decreased skill and mental performance. If your game/practice goes longer than an hour I highly recommend an infused water to replace electrolytes. AVOID all sports drinks as the sugar levels are extremely high and will have detrimental effects on your body.

As mentioned above nutrition is a vast subject and there is always more to learn. Choose organic as much as possible and make the switch to grass fed meats. Eating well sets the tone for a player’s performance, both on and off the ice. Have three meals a day plus snacks to maintain energy and metabolism levels. There has been and continues to be a huge shift in becoming healthier and young athletes are now realizing the importance of fueling their bodies with the proper foods. This statement says it all…

“Diet cannot make an average athlete elite, but improper diet can make an elite athlete average”

Until next time, keep your head up, your stick on the ice and eat healthy!

What’s In It? Kraft Dinner

Kraft Dinner was a staple in many of our homes growing up. Somehow it seems like a rite of passage for childhood and dorm room living. My intention is not to rain on anyone’s parade but to simply point out what’s in it and why you might want to avoid certain ingredients. Ingredient list:

Pasta (from wheat), Cheese Sauce [dried whey (from milk), cheddar cheese, salt, butter, natural flavors, citric acid, sodium phosphates, color (contains tartrazine).

Pasta:

Pasta (from wheat) - This noodle is made with white wheat that has essentially been stripped of its nutrient value while undergoing extensive processing.

Cheese Sauce Mix:

• Whey: This is the remaining protein rich liquid after milk has been curdled and strained.

• Milk fat: Created by separating fat from the cream and processing in a vacuum to remove nearly all the moisture. Food manufacturers do this so that the ‘food’ item is shelf stable for long periods of time and isn’t affected by temperature. In Canada, our dairy cows are not allowed to be given recombinant bovine growth hormone or rBGH, an artificial growth hormone but processed milk products can be shipped in from the United States where they continue to give bovine growth hormone to their cows. Processed food companies are not required to list bovine growth hormone on their ingredient list.

• Milk Protein Concentrate: This is used to thicken dairy products and is meant to give them that creamy texture with less fat and more cheaply produced. The issue again is that this ingredient is highly processed and may contain bovine growth hormone.

• Salt: Regular table salt has been bleached and no longer contains the same amount of trace minerals as sea salt.

• Natural Flavors - The actual ingredients used in natural flavors don’t have to be listed. Natural flavors can be simple and straight forward or they begin natural in origin and have undergone more chemical processes than artificial flavors, making them sometimes worse than an artificial flavor. Sources of natural flavors can include insect and animal. I would like to know what is being put in my food to make it ‘flavored.’ How about you?

• Sodium tripolyphosphate (STPP): Used as an emulsifier in foods. Purpose is to provide creamy texture. It is also used to plump up and preserve meat and seafood. Is often used in home cleaning product such as dish washer detergent, toilet bowl and spray cleaners.

• Citric acid: This sounds friendly enough, but let’s look a little bit closer at citric acid. Back in the good old days, all citric acid used to come from citrus fruits and was used as a food preservative. This all sounds harmless enough but wait, there is more. In the early 1900’s, it was discovered that citric acid could also be made from Aspergillus niger, a black mold that commonly grows in homes.

• Lactic acid: Milk sugar or lactose is converted to lactic acid. It lends itself to adding ‘dairy’ flavor and antimicrobial properties.

• Sodium phosphate: Another preservative and another source of sodium.

• Calcium phosphate: Used to thicken and stabilize processed foods.

Note about phosphates: these have been linked to kidney and heart disease, early mortality rates and rapid aging.

• Color (contains tartrazine): This food coloring has been linked to hyper-sensitivity and hyperactivity in children as well as behavioral issues. It is petroleum based.

• Yellow 6: Also in artificial food coloring, also known as sunset yellow. Has been linked to adrenal tumors in animals and hyper-sensitive reactions in children.

Kraft is attempting to appease the masses by now offering organic versions of macaroni and cheese. So far, these varieties are only found in the United States. In Europe, many of the controversial ingredients simply don’t exist in their boxes. Kraft can do better for us too and are beginning to make changes here in Canada. That being said, why not make your own macaroni & cheese in about the same time with whole grain noodles and real cheese?

When you hit a wall in your training, your passion, your life—say hello to THE WALL for some delicious Biofeedback

There comes a time when we hit a plateau, when what we are physically doing no longer provides joy, the boost, the speed, the strength, the adrenaline like it used to. We are creatures of habit and the fundamental question presents: Is the habit feeling redundant, stagnant and no longer nourishing our goals and our general quality of life?

When we exercise, we typically do either an open or close chain movement. The chain refers to the kinetic chain of how muscles and bones relate to movement. Open chain movement is isolating a muscle or two, a bicep curl provides a great example.

Our bodies benefit the most from closed chain exercises. Closed chain refers to movements or exercise whereby you have hands or feet in a fixed position, push-ups would be a great example of this. There is an inherent intelligence to closed chain movements as they involve multiple groups of muscles, therefore coordinating and reorganizing the neuro-muscular patterns to stabilize what needs to offer you stability and mobilize what needs to be moving.

So when you hit a slump in your training, try taking this one step further and include a wall or door (be sure to use a door that opens towards you). The wall is a great supplemental training buddy in terms of biofeedback, allowing all of your physiology to plug into the experience and enlists multiple muscle groups which compliment not only athletic, but also daily lifestyle requirements.

Wall work is more stabilizing as the joint is compressed and those muscles that need to stabilize turn on without adding pressure to any single joint. Also there is less likelihood of shearing or tearing at the joint or segments. It is a fabulous way to tune into where you may be borrowing from and beautifully illustrates what your tendencies and movement patterns might be, as well as from where you might be leveraging from.

EXPERIENCE IT: Try coming into a low lunge with back knee down for a moment, and ensure you connect your back foot into the wall. Be hip width apart even though the legs are in two different directions, your torso remains upright. Curl the toes under and connect your three points of your foot: your big ball mound and small ball mound and press the centre of your heel into the wall, and do the same with your front foot into the floor, and only lift the back knee 2” off the floor… we can be sneaky, so no hands on the front thigh, no shoulders, true blue power of your legs, without the grippiness, no back, no latissimus dorsi bracing to lift you. How does that feel, have your legs been turned “on”, what changed shifted or became nourished, ignited? This should probably come with a disclaimer realizing that perhaps your lower body stability was not what you thought it might have been? Perhaps you met that the coordination is not quite there to lift the knee—all good news, because this provided you with a really important piece of information about your biomechanics.

There are many ways to use the wall, and it is something I offer in my classes and privates quite regularly in all three planes of motion we move in: seated positions, twists, sidelying, push ups, to connect hand to arm to shoulder to chest—the wall truly is a great training partner that not only supports you but also can tell you like it is.

Say Hello to the Wall and continue to improve your neuromuscular patterns and increase your performance, please refer to my website for classes sessions and more about the process I teach from at www.yogalaya.info.

How comfortable would you feel opening your home to a complete stranger? Under normal

circumstances, most people would never let strangers roam around their home, but it’s a key component

of an open house when selling a home. It’s important to understand the potential for theft or damage.

“Holding an open house can be a great way to attract potential buyers, but it’s important to consider safety

and security,” says Joseph Richer, registrar of the Real Estate Council of Ontario.

Fortunately, a few simple steps can go a long way. Protect your valuables, such as:

� Portable electronics,

� Jewelry and other valuables,

� Passport and travel documents,

� Receipts, bills and personal information

� Prescription medication.

Thieves know to look in closets and sock drawers, so the items should be placed somewhere secure, like a

safe, or offsite at a friend’s home.

Keep track of who enters the property by having your real estate professional ask each visitor to show

identification and complete a registration form.

Ask your representative to limit the number of visitors at one time, or to bring an assistant to ensure that

all visitors are escorted as they tour the property.

“It’s important to remember that it’s your home, and you set the rules for visitors,” says Richer.

“Communicate early and openly with your registered broker or salesperson about how

the open house will work.”

Concussion Care: Shift Your Thinking

Concussion seems to be the new buzz word in Healthcare and Sport – and for good reason. More and more research is showing the ill-effects of concussions, especially multiple concussions, on brain health. There are more than 750,000 concussions each year in North America, accounting for just under 3000 hospital visits in Canada in 2010-2011.

Sports are a great way for kids & adults to get exercise, make friends, and learn important life lessons. Unfortunately, 40% of head injuries in children aged 10-14 occur during sport. Certain sports have a high incidence of concussion including: football, rugby, hockey, soccer, baseball, basketball, cheerleading, lacrosse, skiing/snowboarding and wrestling.

A concussion is a serious brain injury resulting from movement and impact of the brain within the skull. This can be caused by a direct blow to the head or a blow elsewhere in the body. Other terms for concussion include: mild traumatic brain injury, mild brain injury and minor head trauma. A concussion is an ‘invisible’ brain injury that cannot be seen by an X-ray, MRI or CT scan, so it if often hard to diagnose. Coaches, teachers, parents, teammates and even medical professionals cannot diagnose a concussed player just by looking at them.

A full assessment needs to be done any time a suspected concussion has occurred, especially since the player might only have one sign/symptom.

Signs/symptoms of a concussion include:

When a concussion is suspected, here are a few steps to follow:1. Take the child or yourself out of the game. The risk of getting a secondary concussion at this time is far too high and just not worth it, no matter how important the game seems at the time.

2. Go to the hospital if serious enough (suspected fracture, worsening symptoms, having trouble staying awake) or make an appointment with your GP to follow-up.

3. Get treatment! Seeing a Physiotherapist or Athletic Therapist specifically trained in concussion management will help ensure the brain has fully recovered before returning to sport. They will give you exercises and tips to help get you back as fast as possible.

4. DO NOT go back too early. Second Impact Syndrome involves having a second brain injury before full recover from the original concussion, since there may not be obvious lingering signs and symptoms. This can result in rapid and often fatal brain swelling. A minor impact or injury that may not have caused a concussion before the first injury can now be deadly. Going back too early makes you susceptible to further brain injury.

5. If you have had several concussions or are at high risk of more concussions, it might be worthwhile thinking about quitting the risky sport. Research shows that repeated concussions may increase the risk of developing dementia, Parkinson’s disease and/or depression later in life. Certainly, life cannot be lived in a bubble, but precautions should be taken to avoid multiple concussions.

What can be done? The old motto of ‘wait and see’ is about as old as original Nintendo. Typically, pure rest is important for the first few days, but after that, the wait and see approach has no evidence to back it up. Physiotherapists and Athletic Therapists at Headwaters Physiotherapy are trained using the Shift Concussion Program, an evidence-based approach to rehab. We work with the athlete, parent, coaches, teachers and physicians to ensure a safe return to sport.

Baseline testing can now be done for any age and should be done for any athletes in a contact sport on a yearly basis. A baseline test involves completing an imPACT (computerized testing battery) and screening tests. This screen gives a ‘baseline’ to reach prior to returning to sport after a concussion.

An assessment after a concussion involves:

• imPACT (compared to baseline or normative values from evidence for same gender & age)• Patient interview, with history of injury and any prior injuries• Visual assessment (e.g. eye tracking, eye movements)• Vestibular assessment (e.g. balance, coordination)• Cervical (neck) screen & assessment

From the assessment, the therapist is able to start a treatment plan best suited for that individual athlete. Treatment typically includes: education, manual therapy, visual & vestibular retraining, and physical exertion training to mimic demands of sport. Working with your GP, the therapist can help to speed concussion recovery and to safely get the athlete back in the game!

Sports Drinks Do Kids Really Need Them?There are a number of different sports drinks on the market. More and more, kids are drinking them, along with pop & juice, as part of their regular fluid intake, even when they are not active.

Sports drinks are marketed to rehydrate and replace electrolytes that have been lost during exercise. Don’t get me wrong, electrolytes are very important as they are necessary for proper muscle contraction and to generate energy in the body. However, these types of drinks provide few nutrients and contain high amounts of refined sugars, artificial colors, and flavors.

Unfortunately these days, the brightly colored sports drinks have managed to sneak into the ‘healthy’ drink category but in my opinion, this couldn’t be farther from the truth.

Gatorade is the most well-known company on the market. They are owned by Pepsi-Cola and hold approximately 75% of the market share in the sports drink category. They are also endorsed by a number of different athletes that kids look up to. On their website, Gatorade displays all 30 athletes they sponsor, including Sidney Crosby, Usain Bolt, & Michael Jordan.

Gatorade has a number of different products on the market but one of their most popular lines is the G-perform products and on average they contain 30 grams of sugar, that’s 7½ teaspoons of sugar in just one 355 ml bottle.

So when do kids need to replace their electrolytes? Well, they are only needed if they have engaged in a solid period of hard & strenuous activity and are sweating a lot such as when playing in hockey tournaments or participating in long distance running. Otherwise, most young athletes can and should be able to get all the necessary nutrients and hydration by eating health foods and drinking plenty of water before, during and after exercising. If after exercising, your child suffers from muscle cramping, light-headedness, trouble concentrating, or heart palpitations, this could be a sign that they need electrolytes. However, before reaching for the Gatorade, check out the following healthier food & drink options.

Coconut WaterCoconut water is a clear, sweet liquid with a nutty taste, it is found inside young, green coconuts. It is a great source of electrolytes and will keep the body well hydrated. There are a number of different brands on the market today – 2 of my favorites are Vita Coco & Zico. When choosing coconut water choose the unflavored versions as they will have less sugar.

Kiki Maple WaterThis is made with maple sweet water as the base ingredient (this is the liquid that comes directly from the maple tree). It provides vitamins, minerals, and electrolytes and the flavored versions are sweetened with maple syrup, which is a natural sweetener.

BananasBananas are great post-exercise snacks as they are high in potassium (which helps replenish those electrolytes). One banana and a large glass of water will provide everything your child needs to rehydrate.

If you like the idea of Gatorade and think you will have a tough time convincing your child to stop drinking it, here is a recipe to make your own sports drink.

Lemon Lime Sports Drink Makes 2 Servings

1 cup coconut water1 cup water2 dates (presoak dried dates)½ lemon, juiced¼ lime, juicedSea salt to taste

Blend all ingredients together. Strain out the pulp using a mesh sieve, cheesecloth or nut milk bag if preferred. Serve cold.

I’m a financial planner with Investors Group in Orangeville.But, I’m a mom first to my son, my hockey goalie son.

I’ve spent just as much time over the years on the road to every town that has an arena and a Tim Hortons than I have at my desk at work. No one, unless you are raising or have raised an athletic child knows the sacrifices you make for your child as they climb the ranks in their chosen sport.

I’ve learned however, over the years that life is a balancing act.

In the beginning, when everyone starts to notice how good your child is at their sport, education starts to take a back seat as the focus shifts to “how can I help them get better”.

But always in the back of my mind was a nagging feeling that my son needed to spend more time with his studies. We needed to get more balance into his life. Talk around the dinner table and the long car rides always centred around the last game or the next game.

I know from experience when you are saving for a child’s education you talk about education. You talk about college and university and what they would like to do with their lives. When the statements come in the mail for their education savings plans, these important life sharing discussions begin.

Education, in my opinion is key to success.

It’s important to keep the discussion going concerning your child’s education and future goals.

Please don’t let education take a back seat to the sport. Start saving now for your child’s education, every dollar that is saved is matched with a grant of up to $500.00 per year.

It is important to shift the focus from sport to education as they are growing up and your Registered Education Savings Plan accomplishes this.

It’s important.

I can help you with this plan. I can answer your questions. Over the past 30 years, every one of the RESP plans I have opened for my clients have provided their children with funds for education.

The plans now are far less restrictive than in the past, the grants are higher and are transferable to other siblings.My son landed a scholarship in the U.S. and without having his RESP in place he and I would now be in debt for all of the living expenses he incurred during his 4 years away.

This is just a bit of advice from the heart of a goalie mom.Oh, and enjoy every minute of it, they grow up really fast!

The Death of Women’s BodybuildingToday, women are free to compete in the bikini, figure, fitness, physique, and bodybuilding categories. The major difference between each of these is muscular size. Today the IFBB is bodybuilding’s leading federation. In 2005, the IFBB released a memo, asking the female contestants to decrease their muscle size by 20%. The reason for the memo was because the fans, supporters and sponsors felt that the physiques had lost their ‘appeal’ and were not attractive the average person wishing to be ‘fit’.

However, to industry insiders and those with bodybuilding knowledge… this was a kinder way of suggesting that competitors ‘tone down’ the drug use a bit. Finally, in 2015 the Ms Olympia bodybuilding category was dropped completely and not awarded to anyone. Obviously, the 2005 memo hadn’t worked as well as the IFBB had hoped.

Being a personal trainer and contest prep coach, I deal with male and female athletes on a daily basis. Whether I deal with seasoned athletes, or the average person trying to make a better lifestyle change... The number one reason I hear from women, on why they don’t weight train, is because they are afraid of getting “too big like a bodybuilder”. It appears the damage has been done and there is now a stigma that surrounds females who weight train, thanks to female bodybuilding.

When I hear this kind of reasoning from someone, I can’t help but feel insulted. I then proceed to explain that the bodybuilding ‘look’ does not happen by accident. In fact it is almost biologically impossible for a female to gain 40 to 60 pounds of solid muscle at 5% body fat without drugs or anabolic aids. I know this because I have made it my mission to gain muscle mass for the past fifteen years!

Starting out I weighed about 92 lbs… I now weigh about 140 lbs off season and about 120 lbs on stage. This accounts for about 20 lbs of muscle gains in 15 years. At no point have I ever worried about becoming too big or looking like a bodybuilding competitor.

To this day, I continue to put on muscle mass, a little bit at a time. It is a long, tough struggle for women. I am under no illusions that I will be able to gain upwards of 40 lbs of muscle and compete on the Olympia stage someday. That absolutely doesn’t happen overnight and it doesn’t work for the majority of people without anabolic / steroids. As a female, you’re not going to do a few powerlifting workouts, or even a year of powerlifting workouts and magically look like a physique / bodybuilding competitor. You have to TRY really hard for YEARS, to have that happen. Even with all that painstaking effort, you may not possess the genetics to achieve that look at all.

Female bodybuilders / physique competitors do everything in their power to look the way they do. They don’t start training and accidently look that way. Physique competitors train specifically for their sport. To be that size, they diet in an extremely strict fashion, manipulate water, so when they walk on stage they are completely dehydrated and every muscle “pops”. Diuretic and other anabolic aids further exaggerate these effects.

Being a physique competitor ultimately means you must break the law in order to compete at the PRO level. So it is understandable that 99% of all competitors will lie about their steroid consumption, for fear of legal prosecution or loss in

sponsorship support. So they will claim ‘natural’ status as a way to get around this. However, these athletes could be doing more harm than they realize. A recent example of this is IFBB Pro Physique competitor Dana Linn Bailey. She has a HUGE following of young men and women. By her saying she is natural; her physique can be attained by training hard and dieting. Ultimately this scares more potential female weight lifters. This is beyond frustrating for natural lifters and women in general. Making most women terrified to step into a gym and touch a weight.

Those of us who are in the fitness world and are serious trainers, can appreciate, look at a physique like Dana Linn’s, say “Wow, she looks fantastic… she has busted her BUTT to attain that physique”. But do you believe that’s what the average woman on the street thinks when they look at Dana?.. No way, I don’t think so. For most females, their instincts will tell them to run away from weights as fast as possible. Now I am not discrediting Dana Linn, she is an amazing athlete and her training, diet / lifestyle are very intense for her to compete at that level.

It is also worth mentioning that the perpetuation of this ‘natural’ bodybuilding myth also hurts men, who want that bodybuilder look. Tricking young male lifters into thinking they can look like Jay Cutler, or Ronnie Coleman by hitting the gym, taking supplements and eating the amount of food you read about or see on YouTube.

In my opinion, this fear needs to be put to rest. It will be a great injustice if women continue to be afraid to hit the gym for weight / resistance training. We have so many public health concerns that can be treated and even cured, simply by hitting the gym regularly. To name a few conditions… diabetes, cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis and various types of cancers that plague women.

It is my hope, with the rise of social media and the ease of access to information, this fear of resistance training will start to diminish. Making the average women join a gym without the fear of becoming too “manly” or “too big”. As a female lifter, never let anyone discourage you from weight training. It will only make you better, healthier version of yourself. Whatever your goal is…fat loss or muscle gain, weight training is most definitely for you !
