SPORT PSYCHOLOGY TALK -- BENEFIT FOR NORCAL HIGH SCHOOL MOUNTAIN BIKE LEAGUE

Get an edge for the Dipsea!

At all levels of sport, mental fitness often sets athletes apart from competitors. On Thursday, June 5, 2008, Marvin Zauderer will speak on "The 5 Core Skills of Mentally Fit Athletes," and will present steps that all athletes can take to strengthen important mental skills. Whether you're a competitive athlete, recreational athlete, coach, or parent of an athlete, this presentation will give you tools that you can use.

OUR LOCAL OLYMPIAN, MAGDALENA LEW BOULET, will be sponsored by SAUCONY:
(she won MMD 10K last two years now).
sports fans who see the Olympics as the ultimate in sporting events.
SAUCONY SIGNS MAGDALENA LEWY BOULET, U.S. OLYMPIC BOUND MARATHONER
“Her courage and spirit inspires us, just as we hope to inspire every runner, on every run, on every day.”
LEXINGTON, MA (May 20th, 2008) – Amplifying the brand’s performance platform, Saucony, Inc., a subsidiary of Collective Brands, Inc. (NYSE: PSS), and a leading global supplier of performance athletic footwear and apparel, today announced the signing of Olympic marathoner Magdalena Lewy Boulet to a multi-year endorsement contract. Lewy Boulet earned a spot on the U.S. Olympic Team by finishing second in the 2008 U.S. Women’s Olympic Marathon Trials held in Boston on April 20th. Leading for much of the 26.2-mile race, she finished in a personal-best time of 2 hours, 30 minutes, 19 seconds. Lewy Boulet, 34, and a native of Poland, will represent the United States at the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games this summer.
“I am so excited to join the Saucony family and to have the privilege and opportunity to represent the United States at the Olympics,” said Lewy Boulet. “From the quality of the product to the Run For Good Foundation, I feel that Saucony and I are a great fit, and I’m looking forward to a long and lasting partnership,” she added.
“Magdalena embodies the spirit of Saucony,” said Richie Woodworth, president of Saucony.

“Making the U.S. Olympic team with such a confident and bold race from the front is a testament to her strong will and competitive spirit. We look forward to a strong and enduring partnership with Magdalena, on and off the race course. Her spirit and courage inspires us, just as we hope to inspire every runner, on every run, on every day,” said Woodworth.
Two weeks before the 2008 U.S. Olympic Women's Marathon Trials, Lewy Boulet, ran a personal best on the track, racing to a third-place finish in the 10,000 meters at Stanford, clocking 32:33, an Olympic Trials “A” standard qualifying time. Lewy Boulet will compete in the 10,000 meter final at the U.S. Olympic Team Trials in Eugene, Oregon in July, prior to running the Olympic Marathon in Beijing on August 17th.
“Everyone at Saucony is very excited that Magdalena is joining our family of athletes, which includes Olympic hopefuls Molly Huddle (10,000 meters); Alicia Shay (10,000 meters); and Gabe Jennings (1,500 meters), among others,” said Woodworth. “Saucony will be supporting these courageous runners every step of the way, in Eugene and Beijing, as they strive to achieve their very best,” he added.
Lewy Boulet was touted as a strong contender to make the 2004 U.S. Olympic marathon team. She missed out, but ran a solid race in the 2004 Trials in St. Louis and was the second alternate with her fifth place finish. Prior to the 2008 Olympic Marathon Trials, she had not run a marathon since she qualified at the ING New York City Marathon two years ago in a time of 2 hours, 42 minutes, 38 seconds.
Lewy Boulet became a U.S. citizen on the morning of September 11, 2001. She earned her bachelor's degree in human biodynamics from U.C. Berkley in 1997 and a master's degree in exercise physiology from Cal State Hayward. She lives in Oakland, California with her husband Richie, one of the United States' best milers in the 1990s, and their three-year-old son Owen. In 2003, Lewy Boulet returned to her alma mater as a coach for the Golden Bear cross country program, where she has been ever since.
Lewy Boulet is coached by Jack Daniels, Ph.D., a world-renowned authority on distance running and currently the Head Distance Coach at the Center for High Altitude Training at Northern Arizona University.
The talk, sponsored by Marin Cyclists (http://www.marincyclists.com//), is a benefit for the NorCal High School Mountain Bike League (http://www.norcalmtb.org//). Over 450 high school kids participate in the NorCal High School Mountain Bike League, an independent, nonprofit organization that does *not* receive money from schools.

The event is free for Marin Cyclists and NorCal HS MTB League members, and a $10 (or more, if you can) suggested donation for all others.

It will begin at 7:00 p.m., with Q&A beginning at 8:00 p.m. It will be held at the San Rafael Corporate Center, Tamalpais Room, at 750 Lindaro Street in San Rafael, just off Highway 101 at the Central San Rafael exit. Directions here:
