Ahhh...that's how he is so good

Ever wonder why after months and months of solitary training through rain, cold, snow, hail, tornadoes, hurricanes, and apocalypse(s) waiting for race day then during that race you last just as long as a Care Bear in a boxing match against Mike Tyson, afterwards you cry as much as this girl:



Well I am going to share a secret with you that might prevent you from embarrassing yourself and myself for that matter. It is not the drugs like everyone thinks but it is this:


Yes video games!! There is a study that I heard about that helps develop hand-eye coordination for athletes in baseball, football, basketball, basically any ball sport, and lastly cycling(!?). How do video games help a cyclist? Well they help hand-eye coordination in sketchy situations during bike races like pack positioning before climbs/sprints which in turn will save energy for you before the big moment when the selection goes. Team Slipstream is making Tom Danielson play video games for this reason. I think the article is out there somewhere (Van?) So in order to be a better cyclist one should increase video game time and decrease homework and work time as they only hinder your performance. Off to go train!
