OREGON DUCK TRAINING

What do you learn in Oregon Duck training? First you learn to listen. It’s not easy when you hear this from early games:

SCOREBOARD TRAINING FOR SPORTS FANS

Scoreboard training is a class to take just in case things don’t turn out the way you wanted. At this point in  the college football season Oregon Duck fans have graduated. You get that when you show up for the last game of the regular season undefeated. Then they start over for the College Football […]

HUMAN TRAINING IS DOG TRAINING

Human training is complicated. How complicated? Ask a teacher, an instructor, a professor. Ask a coach, a Drill Sergeant, a parent. Or just ask yourself, “Was I difficult to train?”

DOG TRAINING IS HUMAN TRAINING

Dog training starts with the dog. Then it’s you. But first the dog. Everyone learns new ways to communicate. No one says, “Stay.” About that dog:

OBEDIENCE TRAINING FOR COMPLIANCE

For most of us obedience training started early. Early Baby Boomers learned from the boss, their old man, who learned it from his old man, then the Army. But that lineup leaves out the goal of obedience: Learning how to treat people correctly, beginning with your momma. Why momma?

Where someone would ordinarily lay back, the situation calls for them, for someone, to lean forward. Did Trump, the Hospitality King, receive leadership training, or was he born […]

UNDERSTANDING MILITARY TRAINING FOR A BETTER ATTITUDE

Military training? Everyone knows what that is. “Yeah, I saw Full Metal Jacket, so I know what you mean.” What they’re missing is the hot breath and spray of some nut case screaming words in their face. Which words? It doesn’t matter. The sheer volume obscures the words. It doesn’t matter because you know what […]

GYM RAT REPORT ON GYM FAIL NATION

If you self identify as a rat, a gym rat, then you’ve seen it, heard it, and done it: Quirky people doing quirky things under pressure; call it quirky resistance training Keep in mind, the gym rat habit is no laughing matter . . . oh yes it is. And once it sinks in you […]
