Why would anybody want to jump on a sled and hurl himself down an icy mountain at over 80 miles per hour? At the age of 21, Ruben Gonzalez took up the sport of luge and started training for the Olympics.  Four years…. and a few broken bones later, Ruben made his Olympic dream come true! But he didn't stop there… Ruben kept training, and at the age of 47, he was racing against 20-year-olds at the Vancouver Winter Olympics!  Ruben's the first person to ever compete in four Winter Olympics in four different DECADES!  The oldest person to ever compete in the Winter Olympics was Carl August Kronlund, a Swedish curler who was 58 at the 1924 Chamonix Olympics. Ruben is training for the 2026 Milan / Cortina Winter Olympics. He's sliding better than ever, and his coach says he can do it. He's also one of the most popular speakers in America.

In this episode: Ruben discusses how it takes a lot of commitment and consistency to be a successful Olympian and that it is essential to stay motivated. Ruben also discusses the importance of tenacity and courage when starting something new, as well as how these qualities can help an individual endure difficult times. Today's leaders need to be tougher in order to inspire others to take action. Today's leaders may face challenges due to the prevalence of political correctness. For coaches to be effective, they need to understand how the mind works and be able to get into their students' heads in order to help them reach their potential. If an individual has a positive attitude and sets high standards for themselves, they will be successful. Leaders need to be relatable and take their followers on a journey with them in order to be successful. Key Takeaways: Leadership can be learned through experience Have a positive attitude and set standards for yourself and your team A successful mindset employs being proactive instead of being reactive Leaders can be successful even if they are not recognized initially Never regret anything in life.

Didlick has been a freelance shooter, a staff photographer, an agency photographer for Reuters and UPI and, while covering the world news, was nominated for two Pulitzer Prizes. He also is an accomplished videographer, editor, and producer, and has served as Photo Chief for the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics and as Director of Photography at the Vancouver Sun, where he oversaw the staff change from film to digital photography. As a photographer, Didlick has always been ahead of the technological curve, willing to try new cameras and transmission systems and push existing technology to its limits. He joins us to discuss his technical evolution as a sports photographer and the features that he considers important to balance technological advances with age-old experience of craft. We ask Didlick to look back on his career and discuss important steps in the evolution of his kit, including autofocus features, compact lenses, telephoto extenders, remote control, wireless transmission and, of course, the development of digital photography. We also look ahead to improvements in metadata and artificial intelligence and his overarching philosophy that all advances should be embraced if they are needed to improve your workflow. Throughout the episode, Didlick pokes fun at my “old” DSLR technology in favor of his Sony Alpha a9 II Mirrorless camera but, in doing so, he underscores his point, that as photographers, the hardest part of advancing your skill set is “un-learning” what you considered fundamental and embrace the changes that can improve your photography.

He is also a motivational speaker, and traveling the world to bring more education, knowledge and a better understanding around Post Traumatic Stress and most importantly shares the natural tools we can all use to help manage our mental, emotional, behavioral health challenges.He was a First Responder to a fatal accident during an event on the opening day of the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics. Although well trained in a myriad of life-saving techniques, he was not prepared to deal with the emotional impact sustained when those techniques were not enough. As a result of the fatality, Terrance developed PTSD that launched him into a very costly downward spiral. During several years of severe depression, attempted suicide, and substance abuse, he lost his family, career, and nearly his life. Pushed to his breaking point, Terrance found salvation within. Escaping to the backcountry, he had found peace and purpose in mother nature’s beauty and simplicity.

This manifests itself into tendon injuries (think knee/patella and Achilles) being very nagging and hard to rehabilitate because they do not “play by the same rules” as muscles and bones.  At the same time, when we train for performance and injury prevention, knowing how to improve the capacity of our myo-fascial system to sustain and handle loads is critical.  It is also important to look at how various training means will have an impact on not only our muscles, but how our tendons and connective tissue adapt. This episode with Ebonie Rio is fantastic for helping to build a more well-rounded knowledge of athletic tissues and subsequent training.  In this episode, Ebonie covers why tendons are different than muscle, how to optimally load them in training and rehab, as well as brain science and tendon training.   Today’s episode is brought to you by SimpliFaster, supplier of high-end athletic development tools, such as the Freelap timing system, kBox, Sprint 1080, and more.    Key Points Why tendon injuries are fundamentally different than injuries of other tissues in the body Optimal contraction and tempo emphasis for the sake of tendon training and rehabilitation The four types of loading on tendons How the “24 hour rule” provides guidelines for the art of tendon loading in rehabilitation How strong muscles can help mitigate tendon injuries Guidelines for range of motion when rehabilitating tendons Improvement in neuromuscular versus physical changes in the rehabilitation of tendons How to approach prevention of tendonous issues in sport performance How tempo oriented and metronome training is great for both the brain and tendon rehabilitation Ideas on maximizing tendon strength for athlete performance Dr. Ebonie Rio Quotes “Our tendon injuries provided us the biggest challenge (compared to broken bones or muscle strains)” “Tendons don’t have an inflammatory process, muscles have a 3-phase response of inflammation…. Tendons are not the same, the pain is not inflammatory” “If we say things like tendonitis (incorrectly), that really invokes an inflammatory condition, and that means people will think of a passive approach.  We use the word tendinopathy which gives the indication for a load based program” “Tendons really love load, we just have to help them with the timing and the progression of it” “When you rest, you drop (tendon loading) capacity” “There is no one recipe that people should do that completely rehabilitates a person.  It has to incorporate (all training tempos) and it needs to be progressive.” “The first type of loading on a tendon is a tensile load; it is when I ask your tendon to store and release energy like a spring” “The next load is compression, compression is where the tendon is sort of squashed against a bone, like our Achilles tendon when in dorsiflexion” “The third load is a combined load of tensile load and compression… like a fast change of direction where you drop into dorsiflexion and then switch the other way” “Our final load is a shear or friction load” “Anything that is fast and in compression is provocative for a tendon” “Isometric strategy is the first way in; it won’t provoke tendon pain since it’s not fast”

Mapping the Expansion of Coyote Range across the Continent In the mountain west, we simply accept the presence of coyotes on the landscape. They're simply a part of the mountain environment that we call home.  For many places though, that isn't the case. Coyotes are one of the continent's most successful predators and have always been one of the first carnivores to explore potential new habitats. But just how native are they too much of their current range? If we were to look back...waaaaay back, would we find them in the same places we encounter them today? What can we learn from their range expansions that can help us predict where they might move in the future? In a report published in the Journal Zookeys in May of 2018, biologists James Hody and Roland Kayes looked to scientifically quantify both the historic range of the coyote over the past 10,000 years, but also to look at how the influence of civilization has aided them in dramatically increasing their range. Reintroduced Banff Bison Decide to Move Towards the Prairies Last episode I crowed triumphantly at the release of Banff's new bison herd from its paddock into its 1,200 sq km release zone. This was a very exciting time that was also filled with some trepidation. Bison have not roamed free on this landscape for some 130 years, and now, here they were, able to make their own choices of how to explore their new home. It was always a possibility that some may decide to push the boundaries once they were released from the paddock. I also talked about how the bison headed off in the wrong direction that parks staff had hoped and were literally headed off at the pass and encouraged to move further into their release zone where officials hope they will stay. The goal is to use a variety of techniques to guide them until they truly settle into their new landscape. This involves a combination of baiting them to get them to move into areas with rich food rewards while also using aversive conditioning to discourage them from heading towards the open prairies where support for the release is still quite low. These massive animals have been penned up for their entire lives, either in their Banff Park pen or in Elk Island National Park in the case of the original 16 reintroduced to the park. Once the gates opened up, one direction would seem as good as any other…"I wonder what's over there…or there…or there?" In the August 9 edition of the Rocky Mountain Outlook, we learned that one of the big bulls had decided to go on a walkabout and had bolted eastward towards the prairies. It was always a risk that some of the bulls might assert their dominance and begin to head in unwanted directions. This was complicated by the fact that they had no legal protected status once they left the protection of Banff National Park and stepped onto provincial lands. This first bull was followed by a second, and unfortunately, on Aug 16 Parks were forced to Euthanize one of the two bulls when it moved into much more high-risk landscapes within provincial lands. According to a release, they stated that they: "made the difficult decision to euthanize one of the bison bulls who had continued to move eastward toward private grazing lands and was posing a risk to public safety and to the safety of livestock." Park officials ask visitors to stop making rock sculptures or Inukshuks Ever since the Vancouver Winter Olympics adopted the Inukshuk as its logo, it seems that every time visitors see a bunch of rocks, they can't help themselves. They need to pile them up into either poor renditions of Inuit rock sculpture, or they simply make a tall pile trying to balance as many stones as possible in one spot. The problem has gotten out of control in the past few years as Instagrammers began to invade the mountain wilderness. Suddenly no wild place is immune. Take a long day-hike or multi-day backpack trip and these stone piles are there to greet you and remove any feeling of wilderness you might have been enjoying up until that point. Recently Kevin Gedling, the Partnering and Engagement Officer in Jasper National Park, has asked people to stop building these geological eyesores.

1. Lulu, what's the latest update over there? Morning, Laiming. Well, China has got a bronze medal in the men's aerials of freestyle skiing late last night, earned by Jia Zongyang. And 2013 world champion QI Guangpu finished fourth. Are we happy about the medal? Yes. But could we have done better? Probably. You know, I metioned this yesterday, we had four men taking part in the freestyle skiing aerials competition and some of them have done very well in the world cup season last year. After the game, bronze medalist Jia Zongyang said that "the women's performance and their scores had an impact on them” The women's team is also very strong but they only got a silver. So China currently has three golds, two silvers and one bronze, sitting in 10th place on the medals ranking. 2. What else caught your attention? I have kept an eye on curling. Yesterday, Chinese men's team has defeated Great Britain 6:5 to secure a position in the play-offs. This is the best record for the men's team. I earlier talked to the head coach of Chinese curling team Marcel Roque, he said his original goal was to make it into the play-offs. So he is happy about that. However, the girls lost to Switzerland 6:10 after losing 5:8 to Japan, they didn't make it to the semifinals. This doesn't mean they are not good, they have defeated defending champion Sweden in one of the round-robin games, but their performance has been very consistent. The girls got a bronze medal in the Vancouver Winter Olympics. Other than that, I also went to speak to the popular Jamaican bobsled team last night. They have finished last in the game, but that doesn't stop them from being the most popular athletes in Sochi. All the spectators were cheering for them, all the journalists wanted to speak with them. The driver Winston Watts says he would like to go to the next Winter Olympics Games, but possibly as a coach rather than an athlete.

The practice of enhancing physical performance with ingested substances has been around since ancient times. The Greeks were known to use a form of opium; other cultures have used mushrooms and even strychnine. But in modern times, the use of synthetic drugs to enhance athletic performance, commonly referred to as doping, has exploded, as evidenced by the recent massive doping scandals involving legendary athletes in the Tour de France and Major League Baseball. In response, a number of anti-doping organizations have been created to aggressively pursue what they regard as fairness in competition. The moral and ethical landscape surrounding doping is far from simple. How should we as society determine what are acceptable strategies for performance enhancement and what are not? The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), set up in 1999 by the International Olympic Committee to combat illegal performance enhancement in sports, defines doping as use of drugs that meets two of three criteria: enhancement of athletic performance, harm to health or safety, and violation of the "spirit of the sport". While this provides useful guidelines, there are still many complex questions to be debated in the coming years. What are the precise health risks of doping? In the race between scientists who are developing ever-more effective and clandestine performance-enhancing drugs, and those who are developing strategies to detect them and measure their risk, who is winning? How should we weigh the achievements of modern athletes who use performance-enhancing drugs against those of athletes from the past?
