The Chickasha high school activity center was packed with flights of students Saturday at 9:30 in the morning. Over 90 child archers tested their skills to gain a position for a slot on one of three Chickasha state and national recognized archery teams.
The three teams consist of 16 elementary, 16 middle school, and 16 high school positions, with up to four alternates per team.

Father, James Sutteer described the benefits of Coach Pete Bush’s public school archery teams…(Audio)
The school sports program runs from October through May using the physical education (PE) classes to familiarize over 60 local students a year to archery.
A benefit of the program is athletic abilities, social issues, and styles of life are checked in at the door, providing each student a level playing field no matter if they are in the fourth grade or a senior in high school. The archers are required to build discipline and compete as a unified team; much the same as other high school sports.
“This requirement forges bonds and friendships between students that would not happen in a normal school environment.”Coach Bush explained.

Scoring is based upon a 300 point system, and has three rounds of target engagement, which are called flights. The flights start with a practice round, and three scoring rounds at 10 meters and 15 meters.
The team has had shooters score in the 292 to 297 range, and has had placing shooters in state and national competitions.
For each child just to be equipped, the cost is approximately $600 per individual, not counting the cost of going to events.

National Physique Competition 2014
“Bodybuilding is much like any other sport,” Arnold Schwarzenegger once stated. “To be successful, you must dedicate yourself 100 percent to your training, diet and mental approach.”

Recently, I had the opportunity to review a blog written by Tina Lo titled, “What it takes to compete in Warrior Productions,” concerning the National Physique Competition (NPC) to be held in Loveland, Colorado, August 22 and 23. No doubt, this event is a must go opportunity for bodybuilder contestants and anyone, who is concerned with healthy physical fitness attributes. Lo’s article is offered from the eyes of a contestant, and what the contender had to go through to reach the level of fitness required to be competitive in the NPC event.
Bodybuilding activities and healthy eating habits are proven to be productive, even if we are not a bodybuilder. The government website on fitness and diet www.usa.gov provides this direction, “For the biggest benefit, include both aerobic and muscle-strengthening activities in your exercise routine. Aerobic activities, such as walking and running, exercise your heart. Lifting weights and using exercise bands improve your muscle strength.” Although most of us are not professional bodybuilders, we can emulate bodybuilding techniques to ensure overall fitness.

NPC contestants Cecelia and Ada Thao, who are also sisters and entered in the Bikini division, are building their physical appearance through workouts of two hours of strength training and cardio, along with a proper balanced diet of no more than 2400 calories a day. One of the sisters, Cecelia also known as Cece, just started training six months ago, but has shown major improvements in most contest areas.
“This entire process has really taught me a lot of valuable lessons, and how to be disciplined… It is not easy,” Cece stated in a NPC interview. “Judges in the NPC will be looking for physical form that includes muscle definition of buttocks, hamstrings, shoulders, arms and v-shaped abs.”
In the Bikini division, the judges will be looking for style of bikini, contestants walk, skin tone and muscle tone. The NPC allowed contestants apparel are store bought or customized. If the customized route is taken, the price is considerably higher. Another factor that must be considered when working in the profession of bodybuilding is the charge for a professional athletic trainer. According to bodybuilder.com, a bodybuilder trainer bundle normally cost in relation to 10 session package starting at $600, and usually the client pays in advance. In Cece’s case, her cost ranges from $600 to $1200 a month, depending on the amount of hours and days,” Lo provides.

Athletic trainer Kelsey Byers explains the craving factor. “There will be cheat meals and health gurus and athletes advise that treating oneself is not sin, in fact, it is encouraged.”
No matter whether an individual competes or want to live healthy, fitness experts clarify time, patience, and dedication have to become a lifestyle to maintain fitness.
