Walter Edgar, history professor at the University of South Carolina, best-selling author and popular public speaker, hosts SCETV's Walter Edgar's Journal.  This radio show delves into South Carolina's past while providing insight into the state's current affairs.  On October 17, Walter invited Josh Ortegon to be interviewed on Athlete's Arena, Josh's experience and his opinion on sports & fitness hot topics.  This is a really great interview, thanks Walter!!

Athlete's Arena was featured in Moore Clinic's October newsletter, InterConnection!  As a reminder, we began training Moore Clinic clients at the Moore Clinic Surgery Center location off of Hwy 378 in Lexington in August.

Every sport has specific demands that it puts on our body. Whether your sport is a speed and power dominant sport (most sports) or you are an endurance athlete, it is important to understand these demands when attempting to condition your body. Common mistakes in sports conditioning are overtraining aerobic endurance, which will diminish many of the strength and power gains achieved in the off-season, as well as attempting to maintain conditioning levels for too long. Without getting into a discussion of bioenergetics, I will attempt to address many mistakes that occur when training to be "in shape" for your sport. 

Most of you by now have received our 'Sure, we train athletes...' postcard.  This postcard is good for $10 off your first session with one of our services and expires December 31, 2008.  But, for those of you who haven't received it, let us know and we'll send one to you!
