David Newquist
David Newquist is a charter member of
GATC, using the club religiously since
1987. David’s dad was in the Air Force
when his mom gave birth to David and
his twin sister. His mom had chicken
pox while she was pregnant and,
though his twin was born a healthy
baby girl, David was born without
ears. At the ages of four and five, David spent two years in
a military hospital for reconstructive surgery, going home
only for holidays and his birthday. He wore a headband that
transmitted sound through the bones in his head, which
caused him to be plagued by headaches throughout his
childhood. Two years ago, David had surgery for BAHA
(bone anchored hearing amplifiers). These are hearing aids
attached to titanium stems that were placed into his skull.
David played high school football, going on to CSU as a
starting line-backer. He never wore his headband hearing
aid while he was playing football. In high school, he was an
offensive tackle. The left guard, Bill, was blind as a bat and
developed hand signals to give David the plays. They both
won league honors and were known as “the deaf leading
the blind!” “As a defensive player, you go off the movement
of the person in front of you, so this was not an issue for
us!” says David.
David met the love of his life, Jane, in a statistics class at
CSU. They have been married for 37 years. David and Jane
have two boys, David 31 (lives in Monterey, California) and
Jason 27 (lives here in town), both of whom have spent
hours at the club taking Tae Kwon Do classes and playing
basketball.
Over the years David has had two knees and a shoulder
replaced (thanks to football), has had three back surgeries
including two back fusions, two thyroid cancer surgeries
and an appendectomy. (You can’t keep a good man down!)
He is currently working at DIA as an operations manager
and Jane is the head of the Proficiency Center at Homestead
Elementary. David recently celebrated his 60th birthday
with his family in Monterey Bay, California.
When at the club, David
swims and lifts weights.
Jane walks, lifts weights
and enjoys our tap dancing
classes.
David says, “I’m in great
shape for the shape I’m in!”
He looks pretty great to us!

P-Note
SUPPORTING PILLARS
I was reading an article from one of the fitness industries trade
journals titled The Three Pillars of Success. My purpose for reading it
was to learn more about becoming a better leader and manager so
I could operate the club more productively for members and staff. A
pillar is defined as an upright support for a superstructure. Getting
ahead in life is like building a superstructure – in order for the
structure to stand securely it needs supporting pillars…Eric Adler. As
I was reading the article it occurred to me that the three pillars are
also the foundation for a successful exercise program.
1. GET OUT OF YOUR OWN WAY
How many times do you come to the club and do the same thing
day after day? Believe me, I completely understand. I have a limited
amount of time to exercise so if I were to select a form of exercise
it would be running, so I continue to run and my body doesn’t
change. I have a degree in Exercise Physiology and understand that
weight training is truly one of the best ways to shape your body, yet
I continue to run. Why? I like the way it makes me feel and it doesn’t
take any extra work on my part. Running is comfortable and familiar,
and I don’t feel as secure when I’m in the weight room. What’s
keeping me from achieving success? Me!
So how do I get out of my comfort zone and start making progress?
Slowly. Change just one of your exercise patterns first, get used to
that one, and then add another. Also, remember that expanding your
choices for exercise doesn’t mean you have to abandon your favorite.
I still love to run and always will, but you better believe I am going
to start some form of resistance training. Our trainers will hold me
to that statement!
2. KNOW WHERE YOU WANT TO GO AND HOW TO GET THERE
This is where you need to determine what you actually want to
achieve, but there are a couple tricks when it comes to goal setting.
We all participate in the New Year’s resolution goal setting…lose
weight, exercise more, etc. and most of them will fall by the way
side soon after January. Goal setting tips:
• Set your own goal so it’s meaningful to you
• Make your goals concrete and specific; i.e., “I want to lose 10
lbs. by July 1, 2010”
• Determine what effort is required to accomplish the goal. This
helps you understand if the goal is realistic and achievable
3. STOP TALKING AND TAKE ACTION
So far, everything above looks pretty easy. I can get out of my
comfort zone and make changes and I definitely know what I want
to do. Now, here comes the hard part…I actually have to do it!
• Start by not announcing your goals. I know this seems a bit
opposite of what we usually suggest because a friend or workout
partner can help you through a tough time. But, have you ever
announced you were going to do something and the reply was
“wow that is going to take some time and effort”? The good
intention may be there but the reply is reinforcing what you
already know is going to be a challenge.
4
• Never move backward. If you have a tough day or a setback,
don’t make an excuse for yourself. Figure out what happened to
make sure it doesn’t happen again and press forward.
• Rewards, rewards, rewards. The goal may be a big one, but create
some small goals along the way so you can reward yourself for
a job well done.
Success may occur in many areas of our life, family, career, sports,
etc. Remember, whatever success you set out to achieve can be
done! It starts with three pillars, 1) get out of your comfort zone,
2) know what you want, and 3) take action. The end result is a
superstructure of success!

LOCKER RENTALS
Tired of bringing your pool stuff every time you come? Pamper
yourself a little and leave your pool gear, tennis shoes, weight gloves

take advantage of this wonderful service.
DON’T FORGET CARDIO KIDS
Encourage your kids, (9-13 years), to work out with you and earn

WHO ARE WILL AND GRACE?
THE DIRTY DOZEN
Who are Will and Grace? I have no idea, but we do offer willPower &
grace™ at GATC. It is a practice that I challenge every member to try
at least once. willPower & grace™ is difficult to describe, so I
recommend experiencing this unique, pre-designed, functional
practice that is done in bare feet, to understand it. We have over 50
muscles and over 30 joints in our feet and by training with no shoes,
we begin to work a body part that is supported by shoes most of the
time. As a result, instabilities and imbalances may develop in our
toes, arches, ankles, knees, hips and back. Barefoot training allows
our feet more freedom, an opportunity to connect with the earth
and gain strength and balance. The class begins with a foot warmup, followed by body warm-up, a drill based cardio section, flexible
strength, core work and cool down. Sound like a lot of fluff? I asked
members to contribute to my article. Here is what two members said
about willPower & grace™.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture found that even after washing,
some fruits and vegetables consistently carry much higher levels of
pesticide residue than others. Researchers at the Environmental
Working Group (EWG), a research and advocacy organization based
in Washington, D.C., have developed the “dirty dozen” fruits and
vegetables, that they say you should buy organic, because their
conventionally grown counterparts tend to be laden with pesticides.
The following cost about 50 percent more-but are well worth the
money:
“The most fun you can have at the club with your shoes off!” Jane Liner
“Grace Happens! It is a place to celebrate that, and your personal power!”
Theresa Raynor
Come try a class to learn what it means to have the willpower to
achieve goals and the grace to land on your feet!
• Peaches
• Cherries
• Apples
• Pears
• Sweet Bell Peppers
• Grapes (Imported)
• Celery
• Spinach
• Nectarines
• Lettuce
• Strawberries
• Potatoes
When eating non-organic foods, try to eat a wide variety of fruits
and vegetables. This will limit exposure to any one type of pesticide
residue.

KNEE JOINT HARMONY
My Pilates staff and I work with many clients who have knee pain.
Many of them are very athletic and the pain interferes with their
activities. It has been a passion of ours to help figure out what is
causing their pain and how Pilates could help reduce their knee
discomfort. The knee joint is the largest joint in our body and is
very complex. It allows us to kneel, stand and jump. It controls how
we go from standing to kneeling and back up again. It can adjust for
disharmony between our body core (the pelvis) and our contact with
ground (the soles of our feet). However, daily demands on its
adaptability may eventually result in wear and tear to this joint. One
cause of knee pain is disordered patellar tracking. Performing Pilates
can help with this type of knee pain by having a Greenwood Pilates
instructor:
• Analyze and coach alignment and usage of hip, knee, ankle and
foot during knee flexion (bending) and extension (straightening)
• Make sure that the hamstrings are working in a balanced way
during active resisted flexion of the knee
• Coach to avoid inappropriate muscle action which mimics “tension”
or lack of flexibility (overuse of TFL) in the knee
• Stretch appropriate muscles, usually the tensor fascia lata,
sartorius, hamstrings and quads to avoid further patellar
compression
• Coach to avoid excessive patellar compression due to exerting to
straighten the knee against excessive force/weight or poor
coordination of hip/knee joint motion
The chair, mat and reformer are excellent apparatus to work on
improving patellar tracking. Pilates can help this form of knee
dysfunction by “normalizing” the patellar tracking pathway,
balancing and retraining muscle exertion patterns.

Thursday 7:00am
reformer class for
being true to Pilates
for 10 years.

Q & A FOR ALL THINGS AQUA
At what age is it safe for my infant to be in the pool?
Inevitably infants will swallow some water. At eight months of age
an infant’s liver has developed enough to process the chemicals in
a swimming pool.
Why is the pool schedule done monthly?
In an effort to let our members know of any short term schedule
changes.
Why are my kids not allowed to play in the pools without me
watching them?
Our youth policy states that children are to be under direct adult
supervision at all times and in all areas of the club. This includes all
of our pools, even if the lifeguards are on duty.
Why can’t I have my phone out while I’m waiting for my child in
swim lessons?
Cell phones are allowed in designated areas of the club for privacy,
respect and serenity reasons.
Why is the slide on the splash pool only open for 30 minutes
each hour?
We close the slide periodically to allow children and families access
to the three foot section of the splash pool at the base of the slide.
Why is the pool float only in the water at certain times?
We have many populations who access our pools, especially during
the summer months. To accommodate a greater number of members,
we install the floats during designated times while keeping lap swim
lanes available.
What options do you have for adults who want to learn to swim?
We offer private lessons for adults of all levels, group classes for
beginning adults who are somewhat comfortable in the water and
have had prior stroke instruction. Underwater video stroke analysis
is available for more advanced swimmers.
Do you have swim lessons all year long?
We have monthly sessions year round for youth and adults. Programs
may have an adjusted schedule of classes during the summer
months. Private swim lesson are always available.
How many kids are in each SwimAmerica lesson?
We maintain a ratio of four students to one teacher.
How many kids are in each Stroke School class?
As the next step toward competitive swimming, each class is capped
at 12 swimmers with one coach on deck.
What is Swim Conditioning and why is it only held during the
school year?
Swim Conditioning is a non-competitive swimming workout for kids
ages 11–18. These kids are typically involved with other activities
during the summer or they swim on a summer league swim team, so
we break during the summer months.
How many lessons (private or group) does it take to be able to
“swim”?
Each swimmer progresses at his/her own pace, so that is difficult to
answer. Additional time playing or practicing in the water will
enhance progress.
12
Are the water fitness classes only for seniors?
Our vertical water fitness classes are good for a variety of
populations, one of which is seniors. However, they can be quite
intense for anyone who wants to work hard in the water.
What is the temperature of each of the pools?
Outdoor lap pool – 81, indoor lap pool – 84, adult and splash pools
– 85. All temperatures are approximate.
How fast do I have to be to swim with the Masters Team?
We have a wide variety of skill levels swimming with our team, from
novice swimmers to world record holders. As a general rule, if you
can answer yes to at least two of these questions, the team will be
a good fit for you: Can you swim 2200-2500 meters in an hour? Do
you know any strokes besides freestyle? Can you swim 300 meters,
rest for one minute and then repeat? We welcome anyone to try a
workout or two with the team.
What are the club’s lap swim policies?
Sharing lanes is preferred. Inform the person when you enter the
lane by sitting on the edge with your feet in the water. With two
swimmers - split the lane: with three or more swimmers - circle swim
and stay on the right side of the lane. Tap the foot of the person in
front of you if you wish to pass but please wait to pass at the wall.
Be aware of the speed of others in the lane. No diving.
Who are the Greenwood Tiger Sharks?

GREENWOOD TRIATHLON TEAM
POWERED BY FASTFORWARD SPORTS (age 18+)
If you’ve always wanted to do a triathlon or if you want to beat
your personal record, the team can help you achieve your goals. Our
team offers a proven program to get you prepared for your summer
races. Beginners as well as seasoned athletes will benefit from the
support of teammates and coaches during the training workouts as
well as on race day. FastForward Sports (F4) Head Coach of Denver
Programs, Garry Roseman, and his staff of expertly trained coaches
develop course-specific training schedules and tailor workouts to a
full range of athletes with a variety of experience and goals.
Membership includes:
• Scheduled group training sessions led by F4 coaches
• Individual workouts for times when the group does not train
together
• Focused, goal oriented team training and racing environment
• A team and coaching presence at the team races
• Online access to training schedules through FastForward’s simpleto-use member’s only site
Many low-key practice races and time trials are scheduled during the
season in order to help dial-in your pace and lessen race day anxiety.
Participation in races is not
required but encouraged. The team
race calendar includes races at
which the F4 support staff of
coaches will be present. Some of
the races could be full, so be sure
to register soon! If you are entered
in an event not listed on the
schedule, the coaches will help
make the necessary adjustments in
the training schedule to help you
be ready on race day. Registration
for most events is available at
www.active.com.
Greenwood Tiger Sharks
GREENWOOD TIGER SHARKS
Summer Time Training…
A neighborhood team, open water swims and GTS - our athletes
participate in all three.
The idea is to not lose touch with your roots, your summer team,
which is why we support our swimmers who return to the team that
got them to fall in love with swimming. Much of the time, these are
neighborhood teams where a lot of friends are still swimming and
there is good neighbor to neighbor rivalry, even between GTS
teammates!
As the kids keep with their roots, we make sure they don’t forget
about advancing in the pool and experiencing new “open” events,
which is why we promote open water swimming. We will encourage
all of our swimmers to participate in the Aquaman Open Water Series
at Cherry Creek Reservoir on Tuesday evenings and will take a group
of them to the Chatfield Gravel Pond to gain experience and
knowledge of distance swimming without walls. The open water
schedule for the Tiger Sharks also includes the State Open Water
Swim at Pelican Lakes. The coaching staff is helping to organize this
event with distances varying from 1K–5K.
Roots are important, but so is growth. Throughout the summer the
swimmers will have various workouts at Lowry’s 50 meter pool (the
GATC pools are both 25 meters) which helps prepare them for
competition. During the summer, in what we refer to as our long
course season, meets are held at 50 meter pools instead of 25 yard
pools.
When all the pool and open water time is added up, our athletes are
spending anywhere between 10 and 30 hours a week training. This
adds up to half of their summer, a huge commitment for a kid of any
age.

The Modern Two-Handed Backhand
by Ron Steege, Director of Tennis
[email protected]
Eight-year-old Anna Kalabukhova uses a
Continental grip with her non-dominant
right hand and a semi-western or hybrid
grip with her dominant left hand. Notice the
high racquet head as she prepares to loop her
swing back and down.
1
Ten-year-old Allison Murphy’s racquet is
dropping below the ball with continuous
momentum, avoiding a pause at this stage
ensures maximum racquet head speed. This
swing pattern imparts big time topspin, a
hallmark of the modern game.
3
5
Often you’ll see players utilizing an open
stance on wide challenge balls in today’s
game. Here, Anna is more closed in her
setup with her shoulders coiled and her weight
loaded over the back foot ready to transfer her
weight forward and really unload on this ball.
The racquet has begun to drop behind her as
Anna builds momentum and racquet speed.
Contact is out in front with her weight
over her right foot. Make sure you
maintain a loose grip throughout the
swing. On a scale to 5, with 5 being a death
grip, you want to strive for a 2 grip pressure
which is loose enough that the racquet could be
easily pulled from your hands. Notice Allison’s
eyes are focused on point of contact for
centered impact.
The finish is over Jessie’s right shoulder
with the left elbow up and pointing
forward. The right elbow is relaxed; the
back of her left hand is against her right cheek
with the racquet on its edge. This is typical of a
topspin drive with contact made around waist
level. A high ball finish would wrap more around
the outside of the right shoulder.

This photo shows twelve-year-old Jessie
Murphy as she begins the release of the
left hand as it finishes over the right
hand. The left elbow is up and her back leg is
coming forward, the result of angular momentum
and the early stages of a recovery step.

EVERY LITTLE BIT HELPS
After a weekend away, I was swamped with work that needed to be
done. My dilemma arose when I realized that I had to choose between
doing the work I had missed over the past four days and getting in my
workout. This choice has always haunted me on busy days, but knowing
it was more important to get caught up, I forfeited my workout here at
the club. Instead, I went home and did a 20 minute circuit. It wasn’t
the same as doing a Spin class or doing a total body weight workout,
but it was the best I could do in the time I had. The point is; we don’t
always have the time we’d like to exercise, so a quick jog around the
block or some push-ups and pull-ups will have to do. The important
thing to remember is that the primary reason we exercise is to be
healthy. We have responsibilities that sometimes take priority so doing
a short 20 minute workout will keep you motivated for the rest of the
week and you’ll most likely continue with your normal routine when
time permits. Stay focused and remember that something is better than
nothing and every little bit counts!
Thank you

STABILIZATION TRAINING
Incorporating Eccentric and Tempo Training Principles
What exactly is stability? Stability, by definition, means having
firmness in position or having resistance to displacement.
Having stability is crucial to our bodies not only for daily
activities, but also for athletic performance. Muscle contractions
occur in our bodies constantly to engage stability and fight the
constant pull of gravity. Research shows, the easiest way to
promote stability in a resistance training program is to use
techniques that utilize eccentric training.
The body is capable of movement through muscle contraction.
Muscle contraction can be broken down into three actions:
concentric, isometric and eccentric contractions. Concentric
muscle action occurs when the force generated overcomes the
resistance, thus shortening the muscle. This is the kind of
contraction that most of us are familiar with. Basically, while
doing a bench press, the bar will move away from your body
causing the chest and triceps’ muscles to shorten in length. An
isometric contraction occurs when the muscle contracts but
remains the same length. An example of an isometric exercise
would be a wall sit, in which force is generated in the quadriceps
but no movement is initiated. An eccentric contraction occurs
when the force generated is insufficient to overcome the
resistance, thus lengthening the muscle. When performing a
bench press, this would be the bar coming back down to the
chest. Eccentric contractions are extremely important because of
the role they play in joint stability. Eccentric strength is
necessary in walking down stairs, lowering your body towards a
chair and landing after a jump. Eccentric contractions recruit
more muscle fibers than any other contraction, thus making
eccentric training a major factor in overall stability and
strength.
Incorporate eccentric contractions by doing all the exercises you
currently do in the weight room but with a different tempo.
Tempo is the total amount of time it takes to complete a
repetition. We know that a repetition consists of all three types
of contractions. Therefore, we can assign a tempo of one second
for concentric motion, zero seconds for isometric and three
seconds for eccentric (1-0-3). Try this in your next workout:
perform a bench press with a tempo of 1-0-3. When lowering
the bar towards your chest, make it last three seconds. Without
pausing at the bottom of the motion, press the bar away from
your chest in one second. The amount of weight is not important
because with that type of tempo, you will be working
eccentrically, forcing the shoulder joint to become more stable.
The more stable you are, the more likely you are going to avoid
injury. I recommend a program that puts an emphasis on
eccentric contraction and tempo training. Remember, people do
not get injured jumping, rather landing. Landing requires the
strength needed for shock absorption, which in turn requires
eccentric muscular action.

MEMBERSHI P Q & A
MEMBERSHIP
May I freeze my membership or put it on temporary
hold?
Members who are requesting a freeze or temporary hold due to
medical reasons may do so for up to six months for either monthly
or prepaid memberships. Verification in writing from the member’s
administering physician is required. Collection of dues is placed on
hold and the member may not utilize the facility. If at the end of the
six months, the member is still unable to utilize the club, a second
sixth month period may be granted. The member must reapply in
writing by the last day of the month preceding the end of the
medical leave with additional notification in writing by a physician
or dues will be reinstated automatically at the regular rate at the
beginning of the next month. If at the end of the two sixth month
periods the member is still unable to use the facility, the member will
be contacted to make arrangements regarding payment and
continued membership status or membership cancellation. We will
not offer a refund or credit of dues for past months that were not
used.
month written notification and then may rejoin the athletic club
(tennis club varies) by paying the alumni (50% off) initiation fee.
More often than not, it doesn’t make sense for a member to cancel
for a short period of time and then rejoin later.
Thank you to retiring Member Advisory Committee members. Back row; left
to right, Walt Armijo, David Thomas, Phil Hood. Front row; Carol Storey,
Marilyn Hyman.
Because we do not require written contracts locking members in for
an extended period of time (other than a prepaid, nonrefundable
annual membership with a 10% discount), members without medical
reason are not allowed to freeze or place memberships on temporary
hold. Members may cancel their membership with a full calendar
