gmm Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 Hi thereafter constantly reading what others have to say, I figured I should join up and introduce myself. I work in the area of I/O Psychology with a specific focus on performance psychology (in business and sporting sectors). Have always been into sports and initially got into the gym to gain strenth for back country sking. Now i'm hooked and due to watching my fiance (Mike D) compete and train others, have decided to give it a go. Not sure I could handle the figure high heals so am aiming for physique but will have to see how it goes in terms of building the muscle mass. Better get back to the books but will be in touch re progress....G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmm Posted October 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 Hi JasonYip Mike ate heaps!! Both on Sunday and Monday. Quite funny to watch as he's eating stuff he normally doesn't even like. However, I think he's back to normal now. PseudonymPerformance psychology is pretty straight forward really. I look into why people may not be performing at the best and then develop a plan to help them achieve thier goals (and that of the organisation). If it's done in a organisaitonal setting it can be anything that is holding them back (e.g. boss, job structure, lack of appropriate knowledge, skills or abilities, stress, work/life problems, poor match with the organisational goals, organisational structure etc). In a sports setting it's more to do with an intrinsic belief of oneself, one's ability and that of the competition. It's also to do with the attitude that peope take to the competition and how they channel that .... anyway, i could go on for hours but won't bore you all. :wink: Thanks for all the welcomes Cheers G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmm Posted November 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 Hey jasonthe pizzas there are good that's for sure. I'm more into steak but can be tempted to the odd piece of pizza now and then. You back training now?Have you seen photos of the guy Mike and I were talking to you about?Dumbelldog - I imagine both Mike and I will go to the Nakis next year. Sounds like the small town (city?) put on a great show and the vibe is very cool from what Mike was saying. He really enjoyed helping the odd person etc. See you next time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying to get back into training, but i've just started at a new job today and finding it hard to get time for training, but once i've settled in there i should be able to work around it.
