For those of you who watched the Seattle Seahawks vs San Francisco 49ers how do you feel about Richard Sherman's interview. Was he being cocky, classless, and just making a fool of himself? Or was what you saw raw emotion from one of the greatest moment of his playing career, and helped send his team to the Super Bowl the epitome of his sport. This interview was probably minutes after this play. In a later interview he was very calm. Here is one person's take on it along with a video of the interview 22 Brief Thoughts About That Richard Sherman Interview. What are your thoughts?

How many times while watching some sort of sporting event or seeing someone do something said to yourself "Oh I could do that" or "That doesn't look that hard." Even better how many times have you heard someone else say a similar statement. Perhaps about Crossfit. I am sure the people in this video thought the exact same thing to themselves. This guy has obviously spent a lot of time working on his craft, and you can see how much he has mastered it compared to everyday people.

Mark Bell discussing proper elbow and wrist position during the bench press. He also talks about what some refer to as"over cooking" the cue such as, elbows in and how it can lead to poor wrist position. Over cooking a cue is when you take a cue too an extreme, which in turn puts you a bad position. Examples are elbows in such as Mark talks about, another one is "knees out." Some people will focus so much on knees out that they actually role to the outsides of their feet. Which during a squat or anything else you can see how that can be a problem. A cue is meant to get you in a better anatomical position. Once the better position is reached you need to have the body awareness to know that, along with knowing when you are taking the cue to far and outside of its original intent.
