Winter NEWSLETTER 2008The countdown has begun.Wall-to-wall Olympic TV coverage looms as the world’s top athletes meet to compete in the Beijing 08/08/08 Games.There will be lots of over-breathing as well as cheering involved, watching our team members do their stuff! Pinnacle is a NZ sports mentor organisation, backed by Hyundai, which provides young athletes with a range of professional and personal skills to help them reach world-best status. Pinnacle has a close relationship with Breathing Works referring their athletes for BradCliff training. This includes improving energy efficiency through using the right breathing muscles the right way, as well as the practice of breath-based relaxation and focus techniques pioneered by Breathing Works. We want to wish two recent successful Olympic contenders from this organisation, triathlete Debbie Tanner (a Bronze winner in her recent ITU cup race in Hamburg), and rower Storm Uru (a Gold with Pete Taylor in the lightweight double sculls in Geneva) our very best of wishes for success at this major world sports festival. Click here for N.Z times these athletes compete. And to all our other Olympians we have seen through the Academy of Sports, please visit for a list of all Olympic athletes and competing days. www.nzasni.org.nz. Profile: triathlete Sam Warriner who has performed brilliantly in the last few months. South Korea 1st, Vancouver 3rd, and Austria 3rd- she is currently ranked 2nd in the official ITU Olympic Rankings, 2nd in the ITU World Points Rankings, and 3rd in the ITU World Cup Standings. Let’s all get behind all our Beijing medal contenders, and email support via the message link on www.olympic.org.nz Good luck and very best wishes to the whole New Zealand Olympic team – including their managers, coaches and support staff. To get an inkling of what running an Olympic Marathonis like we highly recommend On Wings of Mercury (Longacre Press) Lorraine Moller’s recent cracker of a book. Her autobiographical account from early beginnings to her personal pinnacle – winning a bronze medal for New Zealand at the Barcelona Olympics – is a really engrossing and beautifully written story.Recent news:We are really pleased to introduce three new highly experienced clinicians to our team. Each adds great value to our existing specialist practice of the physiotherapy-based assessment and treatment of stress related breathing pattern disorders, as well as other chest problems such as asthma and COPD.
