“In most sports, your brain and your body will cooperate... But in rock climbing, it is the other way around. Your brain doesn't see the point in climbing upwards. Your brain will tell you to keep as low as possible, to cling to the wall and not get any higher. You have to have your brain persuading your body to do the right movements.” WayBodySportsBrainRocksMovementWallHigherLowsYour BodyClimbingRock ClimbingPersuading Author:Jo Nesbo

“The rich plankton of pop heroes and pop villains on which we Americans are accustomed to feed, the daily media soup of sports figures, ax murderers, politicians, and rock singers, the ever-running river of celebs, heavies, and oddballs that we use to spice up our own relatively humdrum lives has of late become a very watery gruel.

“When I was a kid growing up in Kentucky, on lucky summer nights, my cousin would pick me up in his Chevy Super Sport and drive me down along the Ohio River to Cincinnati to hear some rock 'n' roll. Those were exciting times, and the bands would play late into the night, rocking soaked in sweat. When I hear the Ready Stance, these memories come back to me and I remember that Cincinnati has produced so many wonderful musicians. The Ready Stance is among that number. You will be hearing a lot about them in the future.” PlayKidsRememberNightSportsMemoriesNumbersGrowing UpGrowingWonderfulRocksReadyLuckyBandLateSummerMusicianPicksRiversExcitingHearingSweatRock N RollCousinOhioStanceKentuckyMy CousinKids Growing UpSummer NightsPick MePick Me UpCome Back To MeChevy Author:Chris Frantz
