The Future of Swimming development in Nigeria

The Long Term Athlete Development Model for Swimmers is a well acclaimed strategy that has produced sure-fire results for many nations of the world, Including Singapore. You will recall how one-time little Joseph Schooling of Indonesia met Michael Phelps 8 years before beating him at the Rio Olympics. Click Here to Watch the Race

However, there is conflict in the Nigerian competitive swimming environment where coaches and sports administrators seeks rapid development.

If the LTAD (Long Term Athlete Development) model is not adopted, there is likely to be a stagnation in Nigerian swimmers’ performance which might continue indefinitely.

The over-dependence on government to train and fend for athletes in Nigeria is the major problem that has hindered the results we earnestly desire. Click Here to Watch the Race

To see a Nigerian Swimmer take to the starting blocks of the finals at a Swim race at the Olympics will largely depend on the following group of persons:

1. Parents of the child

2. Nigerian Corporate Sponsor for the child/children

3. Endowment foundations

We have the solution to this problem at the Crawford Swimming World. We can make this dream happen with support from aforementioned groups. The skill set and zeal to bring this dream to fruition has already started.

Breakfast mistakes you need to avoid

Punchng.com
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but what people do not know about this meal is that if they skip this meal, it could have an adverse effect on their weight. Akansha Jhalani, Registered Dietitian and health blogger at Beyond The Weighing Scale, helps you decode the myths associated with breakfast, so that you enjoy the most important meal of the day in a healthy way.

Juicing your fruit: When you start your blender to juice oranges,  remember that this process causes the fruit to lose most of its vitamins, minerals and fibre. Instead, replace your juice with a glass of water and a whole fruit. It will save you some extra calories.

Eating a baby size breakfast: Eating whatever you want cannot help you escape from those extra calories. It is a common myth that eating whatever you wish after a long gap of fasting will not make you gain weight. Oily parathas, waffles, leftover dinner can lead to extra calorie consumption.

Beware of breakfast treats: The tempting doughnuts and muffins can cause as much as an entire meal’s caloric consumption. When placed in front of you, take a deep breath and realise that you have set healthy lifestyle changes and politely decline.

Monitor your caffeine intake: One cup of coffee or tea could help boost your mood and metabolism, but avoid drinking multiple cups of coffee. This can cause sleep deprivation and coffee add-ons can reflect on your body in a bad way.

Unhealthy breakfast: Eat a fist full of nuts, a bowl of cereal and a whole fruit instead of chocolate pancakes, muffins and mayo sandwiches. High calorie and high fat items can cause a sugar spike and recurring spikes could cause health issues.

Thinking breakfast is not important: Even if you feel full from the previous day’s dinner or are in a rush, make sure you eat a quick breakfast. Skipping breakfast slows down our metabolism and makes us feel lethargic. A slice of whole-wheat toast, a fruit or a fist full of sprouts can do the trick.

Avoid breakfast buffets: Buffets and large breakfast spreads could make you eat more than you need. Do not stuff yourself silly by opting for sugar coated cereals, doughnuts and fruit cocktails. Instead, choose egg preparations, leaner meats, oats, wheat flakes and milk.

Gorging on food early in the morning: Have a glass of luke warm water, first thing in the morning. It helps to keep you hydrated, aids digestion, cures gastric ailments and gives you a feeling of fullness.

 Not eating a healthy breakfast: Try and eat a healthy breakfast like green tea with a lemon wedge, oats with half a banana/ an egg preparation with an orange and whole wheat toast.
