I worked at a homeless
shelter for several years. There were a few who were just down on their luck,
lost a business, etc. Those were the one's I knew would be back up on their
feet soon and never seen in the shelter again. However, most are what we called
"career homeless". They have no desire to do anything other than live
"the game". They go around hustling what they can to supply their
"fix". They would go from one shelter to the next, as shelters only
let someone stay so long. However, it was a matter of time before they made
their rounds, and I would see them again. Sadly, there is little one can do to
help someone who wishes to remain in that position. John 1,414

We have cultures that do
not allow creating something different.
It can be a culture of homeless or something else. In America they call them “losers.” I do not like the name. The philosophy of these people is created
since childhood and it is very difficult to change it. Sometimes, it is the only family member falling, but
most of the time is the entire family. Except that some of the members have
better opportunities in life, better engine, better relationships and attachment.
In Mexico we fight daily to avoid
relapse or something worse than a relapse.
I tell my addicted patients and families: “Be ready for the next
relapse, you should learn to learn from it to make it shorter.”
The worst moment, and it was nearly a complete meltdown, came during an
ill-advised-pre-Athens training camp we set up for Brampton, Ontario, less than
three weeks before the 2004 Summer Games...Bystanders thought I was overdosing
and called an ambulance. When it arrived, the paramedic immediately saw
there was no real physical distress but the signs of an emotional breakdown
(68)... "Son, you're okay. Calm down. Get your act together. You´re fine.
I recognize you. I watched you in Sydney. I know you can win." Simon

The above is a problem encounter by coaches. How much you push the athlete to
continue? When do you stop pushing
athletes to return to train? Is he/she faking it? What is happening in the life of the
athlete? What doctor you choose for
treatment of your athlete? I will try to
give you an answer to each one of them, taking into consideration that you need
to personalize the formula; also, what I say is for high performance
individuals that are 120% involved with the process of “performing at the
highest level possible.” Try what is prescribed someplace for the “regular
athlete” if he/she is not involved 120%, otherwise you get into a lot of
problems legally or you can lose your athlete.
What is happening in the life of the athlete? In the case of Whitfield and Jenkins, the
Olympics were around the corner and they were favorites to win gold. It is simple; there is a lot of
pressure. We have routines to decrease
pressure; eating routines, training routines, relaxing routines and problem
solving time with collaborators. DO NOT
LOSE RHYTHM that is the key. Work seven
days a week on the project; do not take time off. DO NOT STOP TRAINING EVEN IF YOU FEEL SORE;
change the routine to something softer or lighter. Divert attention to different subjects
instead of thinking about the big competition and that you are not ready or how
bad you feel. This is easy to say than done, that is why I wrote, 3 août 2012 Triathlon and the Denial
of Saint Peter
Do not choose a doctor who is not an Olympian himself/herself, chances are very high that
you are going to get unpleasant surprises or lose the gold for that same
reason. Remember research: “Patients are often not reassured by
investigations; in a study of patients suffering from NCCP (Non Cardiac Chest
Pain), 44% believed they had heart disease in spite of a normal angiogram.[9]
There is some evidence that the process of investigation itself may entrench
the mistaken idea of cardiac disease.”
WWW.MEDSCAPE.ORG Management of Noncardiac Chest Pain in Women. It
is not just for chest pain, this is valid for any kind of pain, perhaps not the
44% that you see with patients complaining of chest pain. MEDICINE IS MORE AN ART THAN A SCIENCE.
There is an abyss when correlating radiological finding and patient´s
complaints. An abyss fulfilled by
doctors depending on our idiosyncrasy. And on top, the interpretation of
radiological findings has more than a quarter of false interpretations or
idiosyncratic interpretations.
Marquez learned
after three fights how to win Pacquiao and the judges. It is just a matter of perseverance, patience
and willingness to do things the best we can.
Marquez comes from a dynasty of boxing champions; it is not a culture of
homeless. I leave you with Roach´s interview
regarding Pacquiao and how Pacquiao decided to do things in order to lose, in addition
to the knockout.
THE ABOVE IS AN "EASTERN" LINK THAT ALLOW TO SEE THE KNOCKOUT. Sorry.
