Thanks to All The Sports Moms!
Posted by: | CommentsHappy Mother’s Day to all the Moms who cheer the kids on, get them to and from practice, wash uniforms, do hair, make healthy snacks, give the hugs and support their athletes day in and day out! Here is another great commercial saluting Moms from Proctor and Gamble.
My absolute favorite salute to Moms commercial is also from P&G and aired during the 2010 Winter Olympics – Thank You Moms commercial.
Thank You Moms Olympic Commercial
Posted by: | CommentsLet me just say that the ads for the Winter Olympics so far are so much better than those for the Superbowl! My favorite one so far has to be the Proctor and Gamble ad featuring winter sport athletes as little kids – because through the eyes of their Mothers, they will always be little kids. (click on video below to play or view at YouTube)
It truly speaks to the core of my soul as a Mom and a coach. Even though so many of the athletes I coached through the years are all grown up, the memories I have of them as little kids are so precious!
Now where is that box of tissues when I need them?
Video: Lindsey Vonn Works Out
Posted by: | CommentsEver wonder what Olympic athletes do for basic conditioning and strength training? Check out this exclusive Under Armour Workout video of U.S. Olympic skier Lindsey Vonn.
Personally, my favorite exercise in there is the medicine ball toss she is doing with her trainer while lying on her side. That exercise engages so many of the lesser used, but very important core muscles that Lindsey needs for making split second lateral adjustments as she is racing down the slopes. The other exercise that she has in her workout that looks so hard but perfect for her sport is the skier squats she is doing on the large balance ball towards the end.
It is always fun to get a behind the scenes look at our favorite athletes! Thanks to Lindsey and Under Armour for sharing this with all of us.
