Training Update

Written by: coach - Posted in: General, Training, World Championships

This is an update to confirm Paul is continuing to train. He has taken away a lot from the time spent with Kate Parker in the warehouse and is making good progress.

Paul comments, “My stacking has come on in leaps and bounds since the training with Kate, she has taken my confidence and technique to another level, of which I never even knew it could. People have questioned my ability to stack at this level, I don’t care, it’s my life and there is one thing in mind right now, and that is to go there for Tim so I can say to him: ‘that was for you buddy.’

I could never have got this far without Tim, and we have been on such a long journey together, through times of joy, and times of pain. Tim has suffered from his devestating injury, but the suffering and pain must stop.

I am not sure if anyone will replace my stacking buddy, Mr Tim H, he has big cups to fill. But now the pack has been split, I am alone. I train alone. I think alone. I am the lone wolf.

My stacking is tighter than its ever been before. I am so focused on the World Championship right now.”

One Week Countdown: New Coach and New Methods

Written by: coach - Posted in: General, Training, World Championships

We can reveal that Paul has come out of hiding one week away from the World Sport Stacking Championship with exciting news that he has been training with underground methods. He has been at Speed Stacks UK in Essex, training in the warehouse with UK Champion Kate Parker.

It is evident that Kate didn’t go easy on Paul. She pushed him to the limits that he didn’t even know were possible. Not only did she pass on her top tips and tricks for stacking that make her the UK’s fastest, but she even put Paul through rigorous fitness training with ab destroying crunches. A tough programme but it is what Paul needs to get that ‘eye of the tiger.’

We can confirm that Paul G, the remaining member of the UK Stack Pack is bringing his World Championship entry forward to 2008.

With the plan to train hard until the 2009 World Championships in Denver, it is known that Paul is devestated that his stacking partner was forced to retire from stackers wrist. He has now decided that he will be in Denver on the 4-5th April to represent the UK but he will dedicating his performance to his lost buddy who sadly will never be able to fulfil his dream of representing his nation on the world stage.

Paul is really serious about this and since his return for the UK, he has been training underground and nobody knows what methods he has been using.
