We have Kechi Anyadike-Danes back for round two to discuss the second installment of his planned three part research series looking into the divide between human performance research and education and the reality of actual coaching practice. This episode is specifically focused on periodization. We chart the history of how periodization theory developed, and then we look at how coaches responded to a variety of questions about core concepts within periodization. Kechi is a doctoral student at the German Sport University Cologne where he has been looking at various aspects of athlete preparation and how coaches perceive various theories, concepts and strongly held beliefs that exist in the training literature. His doctoral research is being supervised and helped by friend of the pod John Kiely from the University of Limerick and Lars Donath from the German Sport University Cologne. Kechi doesn't just focus on the theoretical, he is also passionate about training and coaching (especially weightlifting). You can find the full text of Kechi's paper here. We also discussed Yuri Verkhoshansky's paper "The End of 'Periodization' in the Training of High Performance Sport" an abbreviated translation of which can be found here. The paper by Matt Clark that we mentioned is available on Modern War Institute here. Some recommended further reading: Foundations of Training Periodization Part I: Historical Outline by Jimmy Pedemonte Foundation of Training Periodization Part II: The Objective of Periodization by Jimmy Pedemonte From Russia with Love? Sixty years of proliferation of L.P. Matveyev's concept of Periodisation? by Arnd Kruger Kechi asked us to include on correction to the section when was discussing a system used in ancient Rome/Greece. The system was called the Tetrad. It is not known whether this was the only approach but it is one that has been popularly discussed due to it appearing in a book called 'On Gymnastics' by Philostratus. Below is the description: By the tetrad system we mean a cycle of four days, each one of which is devoted to a different activity. The first day prepares the athlete; the second is an all-out trial; the third is relaxation; and the fourth a medium-hard workout. The exercise of the first day, the one that prepares him, is made up of short, intense movements which stir up the athlete and prepare him for the hard workout to follow on the next day. The strenuous day (the second) is an all-out test of his potential. The third, the day of relaxation, so to speak, employs his energy in a moderate way, while on the day of the medium workout (the last day), the athlete practices breaking holds himself and preventing his opponent from breaking away. 

On this episode we dive into an awesome study that was published recently. It digs into something we often talk about here: the huge gap between sports science research and the actual reality of coaching in the human performance space. Right after it came out we saw people from across the human performance space talking about it, so we knew it would make for a great discussion. The author of the piece is Kechi Anyadike-Danes and our discussion was definitely enhanced because, in addition to his research work, Kechi is also passionate about training and coaching (especially weightlifting). This background puts him in an excellent position to address the ways human performance research (plus accreditation systems, education, etc.) is failing to address the realities of actual human performance coaching. Kechi is a doctoral student at the German Sport University Cologne where I he has been looking at various aspects of athlete preparation and how coaches perceive various theories, concepts and strongly held beliefs that exist in the training literature. He has a particular interest in the reasons for divisions that seem to routinely exist between sports scientists and coaches regarding certain topics. His doctoral research is being supervised and helped by friend of the pod John Kiely from the University of Limerick and Lars Donath from the German Sport University Cologne.

The first thing you will notice when you meet Kechi Okwuchi is her scars. One of just two survivors of a devastating plane crash that killed more than one hundred people, sixteen-year-old Kechi was left with third-degree burns over 65 percent of her body. More Than My Scars is her incredible story. A story of not just surviving impossible odds but thriving in a world that is too often caught up with how we look on the outside to remember that our true value is within.Today on Connections, Kechi shares her story with us.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Kechi Okwuchi is a Nigerian-born singer, survivor and inspirational speaker. She has overcome tremendous adversity, including a plane crash that killed everyone but two passengers, to become a celebrated performer as a finalist on America's Got Talent and a sought-after motivational figure. Kechi Okwuchi was an only child in Nigeria until she was 11, growing up in a loving family. On December 10th, 2005, she was a 16-year-old on a flight home for Christmas when the plane crashed, killing all but two of the 109 passengers. Kechi suffered third degree burns over 65% of her body and was in a coma for five weeks before waking up to her mother hovering over her with love and care. Kechi had to go through frequent surgeries during her seven-month recovery, but with her mother's support she was able to stay strong and eventually heal. www.kechiofficial.com

Kechi Okwuchi was only 16 when she and one other person survived a plane crash that killed 107 people. Throughout her recovery, Kechi was supported by her family, friends, faith and music. Kechi later became a finalist on America's Got Talent and received Simon Cowell's golden buzzer. She has continued to release her own music and wrote a memoir titled 'More Than My Scars'. In this episode of Flip Your Script with Kristi Piehl, Kechi shares her inspiring story filled with courage, resiliency and hope.  

God's greatest work, says author and speaker Kechi Okwuchi, is a kind of alchemy: He can transform pain into purpose. As one of two survivors of a commercial airline plane crash, Kechi shares her miraculous yet harrowing struggle to survive her trauma, and how she's learned to draw strength from a story she never asked for. Quotes  “What sets you apart as a Christian, as a believer, is that when those bad things happen, it gives you a place to go to, to run to when they happen.” - Kechi Okwuchi “I learned that I need to learn about God for myself, know about Him for myself, so that I can understand how to pray for myself and how to access that feeling and that peaceful feeling like everything's going to be okay.” - Kechi Okwuchi “[I was] seeing God as this transactional figure, where you pray and He gives you results. And so when I didn't get the results I expected after praying, I got very frustrated and I had to deal with that.” - Kechi Okwuchi “Being a Christian does not exempt you from bad things happening to you in this world. That is not what Christianity or the faith is supposed to represent. It doesn't mean that you're suddenly shielded from life. Good and bad things happen to good and bad people.” - Kechi Okwuchi “I pray that anyone who has gone through any kind of trauma, whether it's as visible as mine or invisible, that they somehow are able to grasp the truth: that there is life after trauma to look forward to. Not only life where you survive, but one where you can actually thrive.” - Kechi Okwuchi   Guest's Links Kechi Okwuchi's website Kechi Okwuchi's Facebook Kechi Okwuchi's Twitter Kechi Okwuchi's Instagram Connect with Sally Lloyd-Jones Jesus Storybook Bible Facebook Jesus Storybook Bible Instagram  Sally's website Sally's Facebook Sally's Instagram *Episode produced by Four Eyes Media*

She eventually moved to America in 2007 for reconstructive surgery and later enrolled in the University of St. Thomas where she graduated summa cum laude in 2015.   We first learned about Kechi's story when she auditioned on America's Got Talent in 2017 as a singer, and finished the competition as a finalist.  She later participated in America's Got Talent: The Champions in 2019, where Simon Cowell gave her the golden buzzer, sending her straight to the final.  We fell in love with Kechi's talent and story, and were thrilled when she agreed to be a guest on the podcast.  It's one of our favorite interviews ever, so we decided to rebroadcast it since it's been over 3 years since it was first published.    For our show notes, visit DreamBigPodcast.com/307

I'm honored to share a story of not just surviving impossible odds but thriving in a world that is too often caught up with how we look on the outside rather than seeing that our true value is within.   When Kechi Okwuchi was 16 years old, she was one of just two survivors of a devastating plane crash that killed more than 100 people, many of them her classmates.   Spending months in hospital recovering from the third-degree burns that covered more than 65% of her body, Kechi learned the power of perseverance, unrelenting faith and music's profound ability to heal.   With courage, honesty and wit, Kechi shares her journey of healing, her fortitude in becoming a finalist on America's Got Talent and her boldness in choosing to not be defined by her scars.   This conversation will give you the hope, strength and boldness to face life's challenges directly.   Learn more about the Live Inspired Podcast at JohnOLearyInspires.com.

The first thing you will notice when you meet Kechi Okwuchi is her scars. One of just two survivors of a devastating plane crash that killed more than one hundred people, sixteen-year-old Kechi was left with third-degree burns over 65 percent of her body. More Than My Scars is her incredible story. A story of not just surviving impossible odds but thriving in a world that is too often caught up with how we look on the outside to remember that our true value is within. Today on Connections, Kechi shares her story with us. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Kechi Okwuchi is a Nigerian American recording artist, author, and motivational speaker. One of two survivors in the Sosoliso Airlines Flight 1145 crash on December 10, 2005, that killed 100 people, she was a finalist on America's Got Talent in 2017 and has put out her own original music since her appearance on the hit TV show. As a burn survivor, one of the first things you will notice when you meet Kechi Okwuchi is her scars that cover her body, but Kechi has refused to be defined by them. Kechi shares her incredible journey with us — a story of not just surviving impossible odds but thriving in a world that is too often caught up with how we look on the outside rather than seeing that our true value is within. Kechi has spent the last 16 years refusing to be defined by her trauma. Kechi's strong sense of identity, rooted in seeing herself the way God sees her, has allowed her to live authentically in a world that constantly seeks to define us by its ever-changing (and ever-shallow) standards. Kechi's story will inspire you to see yourself through God's eyes and confidently present your true self to the world.

Today, Eva shares a uniquely human trait, which also has the potential to be an incredible gift (if we choose to make it a gift).   And that is the ability to choose, to decide, how we interpret the events and circumstances in our lives.  Of course, with choice comes the ability to make both good and bad decisions.  So today, Eva recounts a recent story from her own life about not making the right decision and compares that to inspirational stories of prior guests on the Dream Big Podcast.  With this perspective, Eva reminds us all how we can embrace this uniquely human characteristic to make empowering (rather than destructive) decisions in our own lives.   For our show notes, visit DreamBigPodcast.com/295

J.R. wants to start a band and asks his guest, Kechi Okwuchi, to join him. Kechi is a Singer, Motivational Speaker, Bullying Prevention Advocate, and a 2017 America's Got Talent finalist. In this episode, J.R. chats with Kechi on how she grew her passion for music and went on to audition for America's Got Talent. Kechi shares her recovery from a traumatic plane crash accident and her journey of reconciling her faith and uncovering what it really means to be a Christian. Kechi is also out with a new book, More Than My Scars, which takes a hard look at what truly defines you.   Key Takeaways Why did Kechi start singing? She always sang, but singing became her therapy/escape because it was the only thing that she could do that didn't hurt (after the accident).  What inspired Kechi to audition for America's Got Talent?  There were a lot of moments after the audition where she could say no but she was the one who decided in the end to keep pushing through to see what happens. Kechi was involved in a plane crash in Nigeria when she was 16 years old where, out of 109 people on the plane, there were only two survivors. She shares her experience.  Kechi and 60 of her school friends were on that flight, coming home for Christmas. She woke up from a coma five weeks later with third degree burns over 65% of her body. Kechi did not know she was only one out of two survivors until four months later. It was a huge burden to bear and she cried for days.  J.R. tries to put himself in her position. He was a burn survivor at 19 vs. her being 16. Despite just a three year age difference, there's a big mindset leap between those ages. What helped Kechi through her depression?   Kechi was born into a Christian household. She knew what it meant to be a Christian theoretically, but did not understand how He could take so many of her friends away. She and her mom talked a lot during this time. She was questioning her relationship with God, but her mom told her, “Kechi, the truth is being a Christian does not exempt you from experiencing bad things.” Kechi's mother wrote a book about the experience and shared some of her personal journals she had written at the time. Did Kechi learn something new after reading the book?  Reading through the book she realized that no one around her focused or even mentioned how she looked. They only encouraged her to get better, and that helped her focus on that. Music was very important to her recovery because it was something that didn't matter what physical capacity she had because she still could sing. That was something that the accident didn't take away from her.  Her physical therapist realized how much she loved to sing and suggested making music a part of her therapy.  That has been the best suggestion of her life. What was it like standing in front of Simon Cowell and singing on America's Got Talent?  Kechi shares how America's Got Talent gave her so many opportunities. It's not just about singing for it, but also being an ambassador for burn survivors and helping give them a voice. Remember, not all injuries are external. They can also be internal trauma people are going through that they are not necessarily showing to others. Kechi is passionate about fighting against bullying as well. She shares that when they first moved to America, her little sister was intensely bullied and it was painful to watch.  Kechi feels very blessed to work with so many inspiring organizations and people. There is so much to life after trauma.   Continue On Your Journey JRmartinez.com J.R. on Instagram J.R. on Facebook J.R. on Twitter J.R.

Plane crash survivor, Artist, Motivational Speaker, America’s Got Talent Finalist, and so on. Kechi Okwuchi has overcome great amount of challenges to get where she is today. Kechi advises confidence is about accepting yourself not about your personality, despite what the world says about you. She also talks about validation and how powerful it can be and to be careful where we get it from. Guest: Kechi Okwuchi Host: Seun Phillips

Kechi is a burn survivor, musical artist, and advocate. She was a passenger on the plane when it fatally crashed taking the lives of 107 people along with it. Kechi claims that her passion for music, her faith and her family helped her get through her burn treatments and daily life. Years later Kechi was a finalist on Americas Got Talent and Simon Cowell gave her the golden buzzer. Aside from creating music, she is a motivational speaker and soon to be author.

This week’s episode may just be one of the most important episodes we’ve ever published.  We are so honored to have Kechi Okwuchi on the Dream Big Podcast.  You may recognize her name because Kechi was Simon Cowell’s Golden Buzzer on America’ Got Talent and she has been Eva’s guest before.   If you know Kechi’s story, you know that she survived a horrific plane crash as a teenager and suffered burns all over her body.  While Kechi has not let the injuries that she suffered in this tragic incident destroy her dreams, bullies continue to poke fun and say awful things about Kechi’s physical appearance.  We know that bullies and cyberbullies are a HUGE problem in our schools and online -- so we thought there was no better person for Eva to ask about how to react when you come across a bully.  With school starting back up this month for most students -- whether that will be in-person or virtual -- Kechi’s advice can not be more timely.   Thank you so much Kechi for your wisdom, your courage, and being a friend of Eva and the Dream Big Podcast.  We love you!   Show notes at DreamBigPodcast.com/213

CMS Así extraviás el camino a casa, ojos que aman los vitrales de una iglesia, tu cabeza, filamento de una lamparita, que se vuelve fantasía. Así sobre la piel te nace un laberinto: las profecías y la prosa de tu país que primero abre los poros: transpiración, después sangre, después amor. Y el amor: una especie de cesárea en el pecho. Adentro tuyo: una fiera atrapada a la luz de un auto al anochecer, que da luz a otra fiera. Adentro tuyo: todavía querés a los países por sus nombres y a los dioses por su belleza.

The Living Full Out show with Nancy Solari encourages you to think about the people or things that you are grateful for in your life. Perhaps you failed to obtain the dream job you were aiming for originally. It could be that you and your partner are in a fight. By remaining grateful for the positives in your life, you can overcome the obstacles you are faced with.Our first caller, Joe, needs advice on types of activities to participate in during quarantine. Nancy reminds him of the importance of alternating between alone time and enjoying board games with others. She also recommended him to switch up the atmosphere in his house or apartment by opening a window or playing cards by candlelight. Tune in to hear how it is possible to enjoy life in a new way by looking at your situation in a different light. Our inspirational guest, Kechi Okwuchi, is a Nigerian-born singer who lived through a plane crash on December 10, 2005. She was one of two survivors out of a total of 109 passengers.

PAREDES DE AGUA (KECHI NOMU) Empieza con una foto de Kahlo acá se está dejando crecer las cejas hasta que se le encarnan. & acá también, un chico no ve cómo te rompe el corazón él ciudadano, vos extranjera a sólo centímetros de él. Como la necesidad de las sombras superpuestas le dice a la cara a Kahlo que la luz de acá es buena para sacar fotos así que adentro tuyo sentís que se te hunde el barco… que el mar se te desfonda bajo el peso de los sueños & estas cataratas en un cofre de carne. Algunos días, se levantan tanto que es imposible no sentir lo que sos o lo que ves; de nuevo, a un faraón que se ahoga escapando de sus paredes de agua en dirección a vos, sin sus carros de guerra; a una mujer que espera en la frontera para cruzar un mar (que ya está) rojo sin su bastón ni sus papeles. Acá lo podés ver, tan cerca de la extensión de tu propia sombra que sabés lo que se siente: todas las cavernas del silencio de un cuerpo… Paredes de agua

From the Wichita Pachyderm Club this week: Candidates for the board of USD 259, the Wichita public school district. This was recorded October 4, 2019.   In board district 3, incumbent Ernestine Krehbiel is running unopposed, so this event did not include that district.   In board district 4, the candidates are James W. Kilpatrick, Jr. and Stan Reeser (incumbent).   For the at-large board district, which covers the entire school district, the candidates are Sheril Logan (incumbent) and Joseph Shepard.   Of note, the boundaries of the Wichita school district are not the same as the City of Wichita boundaries. Substantial parts of the city lie in other districts such as the Maize, Goddard, Andover, and Derby school districts, while the Wichita district includes all or parts of Bel Aire, Kechi, and Park City.   Also, while candidates for a specific school board district must live within that district, voters in the entire Wichita school district will see all board districts on their ballot.   The district offers this map.   ## Shownotes * Ernestine Krehbiel page at USD259.org. * James Kilpatrick on Facebook. * Stan Reeser on Facebook. * Sheril Logan on Facebook. * Joseph Shepard on Facebook.

Brains... The Edge got Talent  Kechi Okwuchi is a Nigerian-American singer and motivational speaker. She was one of the two survivors in the Sosoliso Airlines Flight 1145 crash on December 10, 2005 and a finalist at the 12th season of America's Got Talent in 2017.  Becoming a finalist on America’s Got Talent 2017 was Kechi’s dream realized, and on June 10th 2018, she released her first ever single, ‘Don’t You Dare’ on all music platforms. She has since become a travelling artiste, inspirational speaker and burn survivor advocate for multiple burn survivor organizations, including Shriners Burns Hospitals. In 2019, she became a finalist on America’s Got Talent: The Champions through Simon Cowell’s golden buzzer and Kechi has now chosen to forge ahead on a path that allows her to explore both business and artistic opportunities henceforth.    

Kechi Okwuchi is a Nigerian-born self-taught singer and plane crash survivor. Since becoming a finalist on America’s Got Talent in 2017, she has become a traveling artist, inspirational speaker and burn survivor advocate. Throughout the difficult journey of her burns recovery, Kechi was sustained by her faith, her family and her music. On June 10th, 2018, she released her first single, "Don't You Dare," on all music platforms, and in 2019, she became a finalist on America's Got Talent: The Champions through Simon Cowell's "golden buzzer." Kechi has now chosen to forge ahead on a path that allows her to explore both business and artistic opportunities.   On this gripping podcast episode of Finding Your Summit, Kechi Okwuchi shares her experience as one of two survivors from a major plane crash in 2005, and she discusses the role that music played in her long journey to recovery. Kechi's compelling story is one of hope & perseverance; I have no doubt you’ll take as much inspiration from this episode as I have.   Kechi shares her experience as one of two survivors from the Sosoliso Airlines Flight 1145 crash in December 2005 that claimed 107 lives, 60 of which were her school mates. She sustained 3rd-degree burns over 65% of her body.   Kechi talks about how her life was saved in a South African hospital and how Shriner's Hospital in Galveston, TX gave her back her life and independence via reconstructive surgery.   Kechi discusses how music kept her connected even while she was in a coma and how it actually became part of her prescribed therapy. Kechi recalls how her singing voice mysteriously improved after the crash as she found her true voice on a home karaoke machine and in a church choir.   Kechi shares her journey of being submitted as a contestant to America's Got Talent by a friend and what it felt like to be a finalist on America's Got Talent (2017) and America's Got Talent: The Champions (2019).   Kechi recalls the emotions she faced as her life took a stunning new trajectory into a professional singing career and how America’s Got Talent became a platform for her to be an Ambassador of Hope for other victims of trauma.   You don’t want to miss the end of the podcast where Kechi hints at the release of some upcoming projects and may even treat us to a solo Acapella! The Wreckage:   With each of my podcast episodes I intend to bring you stories of overcoming adversity and discovering victory. The story of Kechi Okwuchi exemplifies this beyond any other that I can think of. The trauma of experiencing and surviving a major plane crash as a teenager and then going down a multi-year road of recovery could have been debilitating. All of her classmates were killed and she experienced 3rd-degree burns on over 65% of her body. Many people never make it back from an experience like this and they become defined by their tragedy.   But something different happened with Kechi. She held onto her love for music and remained grateful for the doctors and hospitals that saved and restored her life. Kechi’s music became her therapy and ultimately her pathway to a summit greater than she could’ve ever imagined. The Rise:   Kechi wasn’t discontent with starting small - singing on her home karaoke machine and in her church choir. She set goals to continue her academic training and accomplished those goals one after another. Her goals weren’t to be famous; they were to keep moving forward and as a result she is now a touring singer and inspirational speaker. Kechi’s scars don't define her.   As I watched the video of Kechi singing on stage I saw what the judges and America saw: a woman who’s inner beauty blossomed as she expressed herself through song. I truly believe she is more than a "one-hit wonder". She reminds me of Kelly Clarkson, a singer that has the type of talent, range, and versatility that can endure. Kechi Okwuchi is a walking reminder for us that there's life after trauma. She has utilized her visibility on America’s Got Talent as a platform to be an Ambassador of Hope to other burn victims. She knows that is she can inspire just one person each day then she’s made a difference, and boy is she doing that!
