Energy for Sports Performance - Want More?

Here's an invite for athletes and other folks in the Greater Wilmington area who are interested in performance and personal energy.

This Tuesday I had coffee with my friends Megan Kopka and Katie Medina of The Kopka & Medina Group of Merrill Lynch. I took a quick photo, that's Megan on the left and Katie on the right in the photo below

I mentioned doing a workshop on Sports Performance Mental Edge training for the Walk-Run Group at the Wilmington TrySports store the night before.

It's highly coincidental that Katie and Megan are sponsoring a free workshop called "Energy for Performance" that relates directly to athletes (but also applicable to other people who want to Step Up and live full out). Anyway, the workshop is being put on by a guy from JanusLabs. Now Janus, is, I understand, an investment fund company, or something (I'm not really sure), but the workshop is not about investments and Katie and Megan aren't sponsoring it to sell anything, they decided to sponsor the workshop when they learned about its contents and they're inviting a few Wilmington area folks who are into sports and physical fitness. Cool! So, here are the deets:

Date&Time: October 13, 5:00-6:30PM
Place: BlueWater on Wrightsville Beach (drinks and heavy appetizers included)
Cost: Free
It is limited to 25 people total. If you want to go, sign up in advance via email to Katherine_Medina@ML.com.

I got a sneak peak at the presentation outline and I am pumped (Marge and I are going to attend). It's going to be all about managing energy, energy cycles, and maintaining peak performance. Good stuff. Plus a chance to hang out with some nice people, not to mention BlueWater's food and refreshments. Good stuff, indeed.

If you are interested, and will be able to make it that day (it's a Wednesday), email Katherine_Medina@ML.com soon to reserve your spot. I'm going to mention it to the folks at TrySports and at BikeCycles and I'm not the only trainer/coach in the area they've told about this, so act fast to reserve your space.

Oh, and if you're interested in what I do with competitive athletes in the Sports Performance Mental Edge programs, click here. I'd be happy to speak with you about it. You can email me at Bruce@QuantumResultsCoaching.com

New Teeth Docs in town - DentalWorks in Leland!

Went  to a grand opening wine and cheese event at the new DentalWorks office in Leland yesterday. This is right at the site of our huge Leland Under the Lights car show last September, in front of Waterford. It was a warmish (!) day, so we didn't hang outside much, but do note the balloons - when you see them again this blog post is over.

Inside North Brunswick Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors Justin Williams, Frank Williams, and Mike Leggett.



Hygenist Ashley  Metz (back to my camera) was showing Connie Reeves the technology they use to demonstrate what they can do with someone's smile. Connie of course already has a great smile.



NBCC board members Drew Roper (l) and Jeff Harvell (r) with DentalWorks partner, Dr. James Smith in the middle. Dr. Smith doesn't currently practice at this location but will be joining this office in a year or so.



Lots of large photos of young, happy-looking, beautiful women with great teeth on the walls.  If Oscar Wilde were writing this blog he'd  guess that somewhere in a closet they have a stack of small photos of old, grumpy-looking, ugly men with no teeth, but since he's not writing it (he passed on a while ago), I'm happy to say I'd rather see the photos that are on display anyway. They work for me!



Managing the crucial wine-dispensing station were Rhonda Wilson and Norma Davis.



We assembled outside on the side lawn (in the shade) for a line up. From left to right: Bruce Brown, NBCC President-Elect; Dr. James Smith, DentalWorks partner; Rachel Metz, Hygenist; Ashley Long, Dental Assistant; Rhonda Wilson, Patient Relations (I don't think they dispense wine during normal business hours); Tamara Hutchins-Clark, Dental Assistant; Virginia Fulghum, Office Manager; Dr. Joseph Curley, Dentist; and Dana Fisher, NBCC Executive Director. Dr. Curley is the only dentist currently practicing the new Leland location, along with oral surgeon Dr Simoncic, not in this photo.



Mike Leggett wears several hats including photographer for the Local News Review.



NBCC board member Brenda Bozeman and East Carolina Bank's Brian Hartzell.



DentalWorks Office Manager Virginia Fulghum and Sandra Love with First Uniform.




ECB's Susan Cruse, BB&T's Drew Roper, Dana Fisher (back to camera), and Nancy Hall Publications Jeff Harvell.



That would be me with North Brunswick Magazine photographer Wendy Hunt.



A shot from the back of the facility. I never did get a count of the rooms with dental chairs (nor did I ask), but I'd guess there must be at least a dozen room set up and ready to go with half a dozen more available, not to mention labs and work rooms and so forth. This is a big operation.



After a while part of the crew settled around the appetizer table. Here you can see (not counting the two women in the foreground) from left to right: Jeff Harvell, photographer Bob Baer, Sandra Love, Nationwide Insurance and NBCC board member Tony Vlach, Brenda Bozeman, and Connie and Scott Reeves.



This is the last shot. Scott Reeves said, "Why don't you go out and take one of your artistic shots of the balloons?" So I did. I always wanted to be in a balloon, how about you?



Welcome to Leland, all y'all at DentalWorks, we're glad to have you here! (And it's fine to keep those photo of grumpy old men in a stack in the closet, if you have them.)
