Sounds a little crazy, I know, but let me explain. Ever since the days of playing junior sports, we've all been told how important it is to stretch out before we run out on the field, court, course, etc. Fearful of the ever looming hamstring pull or other sports related injury, I can remember all of my coaches preaching the same message.

Living in Saint Louis, Missouri in mid July makes us experts on heat and humidity. With temperatures in the mid to upper 90's and heat indexes in the 100's for the past several days, it's no secret to anyone playing a round of golf that you can be both physically and mentally drained at the end of 18 holes.

Congratulations to Shawn Jasper on his win at the Metropolitan Open Cup Championship! Shawn has worked extremely hard this past off season and is beginning to see that work pay off!



Also Congrats to Skip Berkmeyer who finished at a 5 under runner up in the Championship!

Many more good things to come for the members of the Performance United team. . .

Congratulations to Ellen Port on winning her 12th Metropolitan Women's Amateur Championship at Forest Park GC. Ellen posted rounds of 71 and 74 in route to winning by 10 shots.

Just last week I was in the gym and was asked a question by one of the members of the fitness facility. He said to me, "Jeff, I have been working out fairly regularly for the past year, but it seems like I am not making any real progress. Sure I feel better than I did and I know I am stronger than I was a year ago, but I just don't feel like I am seeing any real changes. It doesn't seem fair. I put in all of this time in the gym and I eat pretty well, but I don't feel like I am getting anywhere. What am I doing wrong?"





Does this sound familiar?
