What Is the Kentucky Derby? The Kentucky Derby is a competitive race for three-year-old Thoroughbred horses and is part of the Triple Crown. 20 horses compete for prize money on a 2.01 km (1.25 miles) dirt track. Geldings and colts are required to carry 57 kg (126lb) and fillies 55 kg (121lb) while running the race. A gelding is a castrated male horse, a colt is a young male horse, while a filly is a young female horse. To qualify, horses compete in 35 races around the world. The top four horses in each of these races are given points. 20 horses with the most points qualify for the Kentucky Derby. To win the Triple Crown, a horse has to win the Kentucky Derby, the Preakness Stakes, and the Belmont Stakes. So far, only 12 horses have won the Triple Crown.

HE LOST 19,000 TIMES! A young jockey lost his first race, his second, his third, his first 10, his first 20. But he was Relentless. He lost his first 100 races, his first 200 races, but he Bounced Back…and lost 50 more. After 250 straight loses, Eddie Arcaro won his first race in 1932. He went on to become the most famous jockey of his era, winning the most money four times over 8 years. Eddie Arcaro rode 250 losers before he won his first race. The Relentless Eddie won 5 Derby winners, 6 in the Preakness and 6 in the Belmont Stakes for a total of 17 Triple Crowns and purse winnings of over $30 million. Eddie rode in over 24,000 races… winning over 4700…which means he lost over 19,000 times. One of the greatest jockeys in history LOST 81% of his races… and is considered great, because he continually Bounced Back! How many times have we failed… or felt like we’ve failed… and wanted to quit or give up? What if after the 100th…175th…or 250th loss, Eddie decided not to get on another horse? Nobody cares how many times we’ve failed, it’s not PROOF that we will fail the next time! Almost nothing works the first time it’s attempted. Just because what we’re doing doesn’t seem to be working, doesn’t mean it won’t work. It just means that it might not work the way we’re doing it. If it was easy, everyone would be doing it and we wouldn’t have an opportunity. An Old Chinese saying says, “The temptation to quit will be greatest just before you are about to succeed.” What isn’t working right now? Write it down. Maybe you need to keep doing it to gain success. #Success #Relentless #EddieArcaro

Focus - How do we remain focused during a sport performance? It is incredibly difficult to maintain concentration during the course of an entire match. However, lapses in concentration can be critical to the outcome of the match. One way to get us back to focus is through routines, such as the previously introduced ”Three R’s” method. Additionally, we can train and improve our focus capabilities through many on- and off-court trainings. In this video, you can see Banu training her attentional width, switching from narrow focus (on the ball) to broad (seeing her opponent). The flying cones are used to distract Banu and make it more difficult to remain focused on the correct stimulus. #tennisdrills #focus #performance #tennis #sportpsychology #mentalcoaching #sportpsychologist #mentalcoach #mentaalivalmennus #urheilupsykologia

Remember that serving is a plyometric movement. It has three phases: 1. eccentric 2. amortization 3. concentric phase Similar to jumping, walking, and running. The amortization phase, also known as the trophy position, is crucial in serving. It’s important not to stay in this phase for too long as it can cause you to lose energy. Imagine trying to jump as high as possible after squatting and staying in that position for a while - you’ll feel stuck. If you find yourself stuck in this position, try tossing the ball a bit lower. This will help you move faster and prevent losing energy in the trophy position. #tennis #tennisserve #tenniscoach #tennistips
