Athletes have been frustrated by the onset of muscular fatigue for quite some time now. Muscular fatigue results in loss of power and efficiency and occurs as a result of the depletion of muscular glycogen, a lack of oxygen and an increase in muscle lactic acid (increase in hydrogen-ion concentration). Muscular fatigue occurs during brief intense exercise. However over an extended period of time by training without significant recovery from muscular fatigue you will experience accumulated muscular fatigue. And recovery from this is not just a few days to a week… so you may want to avoid that.

A little boy was overheard talking to himself as he strutted through the backyard, wearing his baseball cap and toting a ball and bat. “I’m the greatest hitter in the world,” he announced. Then, he tossed the ball into the air, swung at it, and missed.

“Strike one!” he yelled. Undaunted, he picked up the ball and said again, “I’m the greatest hitter in the world!”

He tossed the ball into the air. When it came down he swung again and missed. “Strike two!” he cried out.

Welcome to my blog. Once Inspired aims to motivate aspiring sportsmen and women as well as the general uninspired readership. Through the use of inspiring stories of athletes over coming all odds to achieve their goals or personal triumphs, Once Inspired will provide hope and encourage people to realize that they are not alone and that with the right guidance, they too can realize their dreams.

Once Inspired has selected Reach for a Dream as the charity benefit. Many of the children at RFAD have dreams to meet famous sporting personalities or, if and where possible, partake in certain events. Once Inspired will assist RFAD where we can and this blog will help create awareness and even present an opportunity for the children to fulfill their dreams. Once Inspired will conduct interviews with the famous sporting personalities and also the children whilst living their dream.
