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.
Game Day Fun – Highlights of a Mom’s Life Video Series
Posted by: | CommentsDoes game day mean the pre-game rituals are out in full force at your house? Check out his fun new video series from the team at Kellogg’s Snackpicks.com called “Highlights of a Mom’s Life” – its a scripted, and very comedic look into the things we do as Moms to keep our families happy on game day. Episodes 1 and 2 of 4 are now up.
In episode 1, game day means everything the family eats must be team colors, in this case, orange and white. Heaven forbid a blueberry make it into the mix!! Its a slightly over the top take, but one that every Mom can relate to. And and don’t forget to check out the recipe for the oh, so yummy Game Day Guacamole Dip that ends up looking like a football field. Perfect for tailgating or watch the game at home with friends.
