Lake Waramaug Sprint Tri

Congrats to Kathy Creighton on her outstanding finish of the Lake Waramaug Sprint Tri. Kathy achieved her only real goal...finishing ahead of her daughter!! Acupuncture Therapy played a vital road in helping Kathy compete in this years race.

You can train with Kathy at her fitness studio, Body Vision, in Brookfield, CT.

Patient Profile: Monte Frank

That's Monte, sprinting to another victory! So far in 2010, Monte has collected a fist full of top 4 finishes and the title of Connecticut State Champion (Housatonic Hills Road Race)! He is extremely focused in his approach to training and equally focused on preventing injuries. Monte began using Acupuncture Therapy when his chronic knee pain failed to respond to more conventional measures. He continues to utilize Acupuncture Therapy to aid his body in recovery following these grueling races. Monte is a fan of skiing and The Grateful Dead!

Coach Sean Fesh

Local pitching legend, Sean Fesh and his protege, Cooper. Sean is the pitching coach of the Danbury Westerners, passing along his wealth of professional pitching experience to the young staff. Cooper felt the need to ice down like the big boys after his recent outing :-)

Wizard of Westwood

The greatest coach of all time has passed away. RIP John Wooden. As a kid, I had a notebook full of coach Wooden's quotes, if I look I can probably still find it! His PYRAMID OF SUCCESS is not only timeless, but applicable to anyone who has ever hoped to succeed in anything. Here's a link to his awesome website...take a minute and check out his PYRAMID OF SUCCESS for yourself.

Tommy John

Tommy John entertained a large breakfast crowd gathered to kick off the Danbury Westerners' summer season. Yankee fans know TJ as a crafty left-hander, but I know him as THE elbow! Tommy John surgery!

When Pigs Fly...

If you found yourself in the shadow of a flying pig on Memorial Day, I think I have an explanation! That afternoon, the unthinkable happened. For five full seconds, I rooted for the Duke Blue Devils! Now before you ask me to burn my Duke Sucks T-shirt, in my defense, I wasn't so much rooting for Duke as I was rooting for #9, New Fairfield's own CJ Costabile. Just like we'd all seen him do many times in high school, CJ snatched the draw, raced straight to goal, with his giant long stick and scored the game winner, straight into ESPN lore. It took all of 5 seconds. I watched while he was interviewed after the game. "CJ, what were you thinking while you raced toward the goal?" Anyone who has spent any time with CJ knew the answer would come in one word. "SCORE." He said his eyes weren't exactly closed...I'm not so sure. What a great kid, what a great moment for him and for all of his fans here in CT. As for me, ten minutes later I felt so dirty, I took a shower and dressed from head to toe in Carolina Blue...just before hell froze over!!
