Leo Messi recibe la Bota de Oro

(Efe) Leo Messi ha recibido hoy en la antigua fábrica de cerveza Damm de Barcelona la 'Bota de Oro' que le acredita como máximo goleador de las Ligas Europeas en la pasada temporada.

Tras ganar en 2009 el FIFA World Player y el 'Balón de Oro' que le distinguen como el mejor jugador del mundo, el delantero del Barcelona ha añadido otro trofeo individual a su palmarés, "en otro año que ha sido muy bueno gracias a la ayuda de los compañeros", ha apuntado.

El astro argentino anotó 34 tantos durante el pasado campeonato liguero y superó en la clasificación al marfileño Didier Drogba (Chelsea) y al italiano Antonio di Natale (Udinese), quienes firmaron 29 cada uno de ellos, y a su compatriota Gonzalo Higuaín (Real Madrid), autor de 27.

El máximo goleador de las Ligas Europeas fue un uruguayo, el delantero del Ajax de Amsterdam Luis Suárez (35 goles), pero solo las principales Ligas europeas tienen un coeficiente superior (Alemania, Francia, Inglaterra, Italia y España), en donde los tantos se multiplican por dos.

Stampotique Goes Vintage

Regular readers will know that I really like Stampotique stamps, especially their quirky, snarky girls.  The current challenge at their challenge blog is to create a vintage card with a Stampotique stamp. So, I chose one of their sweeter stamps called "crafter" and paired it with some vintage lace and grunge flowers.  I was happy to be able to play with grunge flowers because it's been the only challenge I've missed so far in Studio L3's Compendium of Curiousities Challenge series.  The current challenge is running for two weeks, so I decided to play catch up. I think I was originally scared away from these because I thought they were going to be the spectacular (but difficult) grunge roses.  These flowers are much easier!  I think this also fits the current color challenge at my other favorite challenge blog - Gingersnap Creative.  The challenge is neutrals, plus one color. So, which do you prefer - snarky or sweet?

September Lessons (part 7)

Wow - after this group, there's only one more set of four lessons left.  I particularly like the visuals on these lessons, which all seem to be clearly based on my activities for these days.  On the 23rd, I had a great day at my office.  Since I taught over the summer, I have an easier load this fall, and it's paying off because I've been able to get my office organized and get some work done on some academic writing projects.  On the 24th, DH Paul and I went to a western themed fundraiser at a ranch.  I've been avoiding these things lately, so I was surprised by how much fun we had.  We got to catch up with a bunch of friends, drink a few margaritas and do a little gambling. The 25th was all about taking the bottled spirits class with DD Clara. It seems like it's been forever since I took a real, in-person class, and it was fun!  The lesson on the 26th followed Shimelle's prompt to look to nature for a lesson.  We enjoyed a sunny, beautiful day here on the coast with a BBQ.  I wonder what my last four lessons will be . . .

STAND

Living on the outer limits of what is possible will freak out 98% of the population, including me.  I am good at doing the dance, looking like I am putting it all out there but ONLY when I know it will work. What if you and I were willing to live on the edge but not only on the edge, truly willing to take the leap to the unknown.

Fear is the reason the mass majority are not willing to make the plunge.

I own one of the largest Crossfit Affiliates in the world, if not the largest? I have more than 700 clients, led by over 20 full time trainers. I am ready to make a quantum leap, but if I do this, I will be taking the group with me.

Five years ago, when I took my first leap to start this thing called Crossfit Central, it was me and a hand full of people. The risk was much smaller and the landing if I failed would be much softer.

Today the game is bigger, threatening a much more painful landing.  I do not make decisions without a lot of consideration these days.  It is time to make a move!

You might not see the effects today or tomorrow.  However, in one or two years when you do see the effects, recall this blog post and know a decision was made in the face of FEAR.


God speed

Frida's Dream (arches and birds)

The theme at Something Completely Different this month has been arches.  I've peeked at the different subthemes but haven't had a chance to play along.  Until this week, when the subtheme was birds.  Here's an art journal page I made with an arch and a bird.  I made it using a picture of an arch from the glass museum in Muron, Italy as my inspiration.  You can see that picture here. The other inspiration is Frida Kahlo and her style. I learned to use other artists for inspiration in a wonderful class taught by Dina Wakley, and I was thrilled to read that she's got a new art journaling class scheduled to start in late October.  I'll definitely be there for that one!

Adapt or Die

 

Opening a Crossfit affiliate can be the scariest and most exciting journey any crossfithead could ever do! Crosssfit recently hit 2000 affiliates world wide. Two thousand is a pretty large number of people.   If you just do simple math, 2000 affiliates times an average of 50 clients at each box is 100,000  organized crossfitters. This is not even counting all the military and home garage gyms, boot camps etc.

As Crossfit reaches mass consumption across the country, new ways of approaching the business must occur.  Going about things as-is, will not meet the demands and the desires of the people.

I personally have had to stretch my view of what is possible at Crossfit Central and how we will touch more people and change the world. Our staff is constantly upping their game and looking at our affiliate with fresh eyes to develop the program and to bring the best product to market.

As the leader of Crossfit Central I must adapt just as fast as the market demands. Sometimes this can be challenging when you are familiar with the old ways of doing things. I am committed to having an open mind to to get our game to the next level!
