September 2010 Schedule
September will be an exciting month for Team Sacramento competitors. This is the last month of preparation for the 2010/2011 tournament season. September will be dedicated to getting everyone ready for the upcoming season and to teach the beginners rules, etiquette, and general strategy and techniques to compete for the first time. If you are a student that wants to compete this will be an important month of training for you and you should come to as many practices as possible. It is especially important to try to attend Saturday practices as that is where we get much of our tournament prep work done. We will also be having some fun during September as we have our yearly team get together scheduled for September 10 at Strikes in Rocklin. Please ask Goodall Sensei for information regarding attending this event. Let's work hard to make 2010/2011 season one to remember.

2010 World Masters Championships
Team Sacramento had four of our coaches competing in the 2010 World Masters Championships in Montreal Canada from August 17 to 22. Competing in the tournament were Kay-John Kavanaugh M4 -66 Kilos, Pedro Teixeira M3 -81 Kilos, Tauasa Timoteo M2 -100 Kilos, and Brent Goodall M3 -66 Kilos. All of the competitors faced tough competition from all over the world including Austria, Hungary, Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Germany, among others. Everyone should be congratulated for training hard to prepare for the competition. Team Sacramento is one of the few judo clubs that has actively competitive coaches and all of the students will benefit from this great experience.
Special congratulations to Tauasa Timoteo (pictured) for his silver medal in the tournament.

GOT MILK?
Hello Team
During the coaches meeting at the Junior Olympics, a speaker from Oklahoma University gave a lecture about the benefits of milk regarding both Pre and Post exercise and or workouts. I thought this was interesting:
He passed out a brochure on how milk provides the fuel athletes need to be active and the fluids, nutrients and protein to help refuel after exercise, and here are some of the clips I took from the brochure itself:
Research shows there's a two-hour recovery window when the real work begins- refueling, building, and repairing muscles. That takes protein, and lowfat chocolate milk is a natural source of high quality protein. Plus, it's packed with essential nutrients not typically found in other sports drinks including calcium and vitamin D, which can help prevent stress fractures and broken bones.
The studies has focused on the following areas:
when you are in the website, scroll down to the coaches corner and the same brochure and pamphlets I have are visible to where you can read more about chocolate milk and regular milk for athletes.....
Enjoy!

The studies has focused on the following areas:
- Chocolate milk's role in helping athletes refuel muscles after a workout.
- Regular and chocolate milk's impact on reducing exercise-induced muscle damage and building muscle after exercise.
- How milk compares to other drinks for hydration after exercise, and its ability to replenish needed electrolytes and fluids.
