Dr Sherylle Calder - Improve your Visual Performance

There is a lot more to being a professional athlete than just going to gym and eating right. We have to perfect every fibre of our body. This includes doing exercises that help us improve our eye-hand or eye-foot coordination.

Dr Sherylle Calder from EyeGym helps me enhance these abilities. When people see more, they can assess the situation much quicker, therefore exercising their options, and ultimately making better decisions.

A very interesting stat is that 80-90% of decisions made in sport are based upon visual information!

Most people are born with good eyesight, but vision, the ability to identify, interpret and understand can be trained and improved.

Here are some reasons why I go to EyeGym:

I challenge you to a session with them. You will not be dissapointed!

30's Leg Workout

When you’re serious about training and wanting to be fit and active. If you only focus on your upper body, you will also missing out on the enormous fitness benefits inherent in training your glutes, quads, hamstrings, and calf muscles, including increasing your overall lean muscle mass, which, in turn, improves your calorie and fat burning capabilities. Nobody loves “legs days” in the gym.

My “30′s Leg Workout” is a killer, but it works!

I’d also recommend a Scheckter’s Organic Energy drink either before or half way through to give you the extra energy you need to get through the last set…. you’ll need it!

I would love your feedback on the workout. Feel free to comment below!

Gilbert out to help "Lions" roar

The following article was written by MTNFootball.com, and also featured in the Daily Times Nigeria before my game against MP Black Aces on the 19 May 2013:

With the Absa Premiership all but sealed, all eyes will be on the National First Division this weekend and Thanda Royal Zulu's Gordon Gilbert says the Lions will roar. 

Thanda Royal Zulu will contest what is deemed as the ‘match of the weekend’ when they visit rivals Mpumalanga Black Aces at the Themba Senamela  Stadium on Sunday.

Aces lead the NFD log standings, separated by a point from Thanda, a draw will mean both sides will contest the promotional play-off should either Santos or Polokwane City win in their respective fixtures.

Well-travelled Gordon Gilbert says faith will determine the fate as he’s out to help AmaBhubesi back into the PSL.

“Firstly I'd like to say, coach Prof. (Mlungisi Ngubane) has done a great job in bringing Thanda to a position to contend for the title. Winning the NFD is no easy task and credit has to be given where it's due.” Said the former Kaizer Chiefs and Moroka Swallows star.

“We players are focused and have our minds set for the stage on Sunday.

“We know it’s not going to be easy, however we are not under any pressure other than to give our best. The favourites are the ones under pressure.

“Preparation has been fantastic, now it's all up our father God. It's in his hands. We will be ready.”

To the contrary, Aces were the last side the 30-year-old turned out for in the PSL, and gaining promotion with Thanda at Aces' expense spices the affair.

But Gilbert, who arrived in the country in 2005 from St. Johnstone in the Scottish Premier League, says emotions will be left aside.

“Well such is football. It's nothing personal but my loyalty lies with my new team Thanda.

“I have to put emotions aside and put it down to business. Be it straight to PSL or Play-Off’s, despite obviously we are fighting for first place, and we are ready.”

Veggie Juice recipe

Fresh fruit and vegetable juice is so good for you. Studies have revealed that when you drink your fruits and vegetables, you absorb up to 80% more of their nutrients. In today's day and age, people are also not eating close to the daily dose that they need. By juicing your fruits and vegetables, it allows you to get all the nutrients and minerals that your body needs in a single serving. It also reduces the amount of work your digestive organs have to do, thus increasing the health of the liver and kidneys! 

Below you will find my secret veggie juice recipe, packed with all the right things to help replenish the nutrients my body needs after an action packed day...

INGREDIENTS for my Secret Veggie Juice:

* 4 x large organic beetroots
* 6 x medium sized organic carrots

* 0.5 small organic ginger root
* 8 x large spinach leaves
* 1 x sachet of Herbalife24 Hydrate
* Half a teaspoon of Herbalife Instant Herbal Beverage with Tea Extracts
