Welcome to the Jungle
Motocross IS the Law of the Jungle, plain
and simple. What, you ask? Think of it like this, in the real
jungle there are predators and there is prey. The studs of the
jungle are the big cats, like Tigers, Lions or even Bears, the
big meat eaters. But there are also cute little furry critters
like rabbits, squirrels and deer, like Bambi. Which one are you?
Do you go to the line with doubts? Do you get intimidated? Do
you feel weak or get tired easy? Are you at the back of the
pack? If you answer yes to any of these, you are at the wrong
end of the motocross food chain.
What does it take to be a big cat in the
jungle you ask? Well, here are some ideas. First of all are you
training properly? Types of training include on the bike
training and drills, physical training like running, cycling
weight lifting and Pilates, agility training like martial arts,
and mental training and confidence. There is also rest and
recovery to allow your body to adapt to the stress levels of
working out and diet and nutrition needs to properly fuel the
body. Plus don’t forget about bike set up and proper
maintenance.
If you have been paying attention to coach
Seiji’s columns, you should know that PERIODIZATION training is
the best way to train, and the sooner you get started on a
program using periodization, the sooner you will become a Tiger.
By being strong and fit, along with solid
fundamentals and great riding techniques, a good diet, plenty of
rest and recovery, you WILL be mentally sound, confident and
ready to tear up and eat your competition, you know, those
little bunnies.
Listen, I have been teaching and
instructing motocross students for over 10 years now and all the
technique in the world still isn’t enough any more, think of
what it would take to beat a Carmichael or Stewart. You MUST
have the entire program in order, you must have a plan and you
must have your goal be to execute that plan. Remember, “DO” is
the part you have control over. So get to work and “DO” it. We
are here for you.
