Peter Sumich won’t be alongside him.
For the first time in his decade-long senior coaching career, Worsfold will be without his trusted right-hand man as West Coast prepares for battle in two shortened NAB Cup games against Essendon and Fremantle.
Sumich, who won two premierships as a player and one as an assistant coach with the Eagles, joined the Dockers’ coaching staff last October in a major coup for the port club.
But Worsfold said the pair had been able to maintain their friendship despite being on opposite sides of one of the AFL’s most fierce rivalries.
“Suma and I… we have a relationship where we don’t need to ring each other each week to say hello,” Worsfold said.
“We catch up irregularly, whether that’s in person or over the phone.
“Nothing’s really changed in my relationship with Sum, and we don’t talk in code or anything like that when we talk - we both talk openly about issues we have.”
Worsfold compared the situation to his relationship with Gold Coast coach and fellow duel-premiership defender Guy McKenna.
“I can go a couple of months without hearing from Bluey - they’re usually the best two months of the year,” Worsfold joked.
“We’re mates and we have good relationships but we’re pretty flat-out doing our jobs.”
The West Coast coach admitted it was “different” beginning pre-season training without his long-time assistant, but said Sumich’s departure had opened the door for new coaching opportunities at the club.
“It’s not strange (without Sumich),” Worsfold said.
“As much as I like him, I'm not fretting. It was different.
“(Development coach) Adrian Hickmott has been brilliant, so that’s someone who’s got an opportunity to get back into the AFL system with the movement of coaches that goes on.”

Former Lincoln, Manatee football coach Eddie Shannon elected to FHSAA Hall of Fame
Posted: at 11:10 pm
BRADENTON -- Eddie Shannon will turn 90 on March 7, and he just might have the best birthday party of his life.
The diminutive giant received what might be the biggest news of his life Tuesday when he learned he was voted into the Florida High School Athletic Association Hall of Fame.
Many will tell you it was long overdue. Shannon kind of feels that way, but he won’t say it, at least not publicly. It’s not his way of doing things.
But still he couldn’t hide his excitement after receiving the news.
“I feel good it’s a long time coming. I am happy about it,” Shannon said. “I never thought I would make it, but so many people played a role in it. I want to thank Mike Knowles the most. He got the things going.”
The 5-foot-3 giant of a man goes into the hall as coach/contributor stemming from the combined 34 years he spent coaching football and teaching at the old Lincoln Memorial High School and then Manatee High.
He officially retired from teaching and coaching at Manatee in 1987 but says, “I never retired from the team.”
Shannon lost just two games in his seven years as the Lincoln head football coach before the school was closed in 1969 for integration and students went to Manatee and Palmetto.
Shannon coached some of the area greats, including Ray Bellamy, who broke a color barrier when he went to Miami and became the first African-American to play football at a major college in the South. He coached Henry Lawrence, Manatee County’s greatest professional football player who spent 13 years in the NFL and won three Super Bowls.
“I wrote a letter recommending him. He deserves it because of all the things he did to promote peace and harmony and the way he coached kids to be respectful,” says Ed Dick, who recruited Bellamy for Miami. “He brought peace to Manatee High when the crazies were out there with guns. People would’ve been hurt if Shannon and Lawrence had not calmed things down.”
Despite all the accolades on the field, Shannon’s greatest achievement might have come in 1969, when he become the unofficial peacemaker during the turbulence that shook Manatee High during its first year of integration.
Shannon put in 15 years at Lincoln and 19 at Manatee. In his typical modest ways, he said he is thankful to the kids at Manatee from both races who chose to listen to him. But he made it that way.
People still talk about a day in 1969 when there was a near riot at Manatee High and Eddie was home sick with the flu. He got a call from the principal because it was thought only Shannon could stop the chaos. He did.
“I lost my color when they called me,” Shannon recalled. “I was the go-between and the whole thing in a nutshell is that kids had to find out they could do things together.”
Shannon’s list of laurels is long.
He was the personal trainer to tennis great Althea Gibson, he carried the Olympic Torch for the 1996 Olympics, and in 2004 he received the Manatee County Distinguished Citizen Award.
“I don’t know how to compare going into the hall of fame to the other things, but I know it’s great and it’s a good feeling. You can’t compare them because everything is different,” he said.
Knowles, a longtime Manatee High coach and FHSAA hall of famer, started the ball rolling with the nominating process. The candidacy picked up steam with people from all walks of life in the Manatee County community, including several judges and high ranking public figures joining the movement.
“What he has done for kids in Manatee County from all walks of life is incredible,” Knowles said. “I took up this because of all the things I kept hearing from people in the black community and outside of it. He certainly deserves it.”
Shannon, who will inducted during ceremonies in April, is the third Manatee County resident to go into the FHSAA Hall of Fame, joining Knowles and former Manatee High principal and head football coach Wheeler Leeth, who went in as an administrator.
“I am very excited for Eddie and his family and the whole Lincoln Memorial Community,” Knowles said. “It’s a great thing. The state has done a good job of recognizing those who worked hard, are good people and loved kids. Eddie Shannon is a perfect example of that kind of person.”

Coaching couple calls it quits together
Posted: at 11:10 pm
Updated Feb 14, 2012 1:21 PM ET
The job offer came on Oct. 7, 1991, and Marty Cooper knew he had to take it. It wasn’t big-time basketball, just a junior college in Mississippi, but it was a head-coaching gig. No more graduate assistant work, no more sitting in the third assistant’s seat for the women’s team at Miami of Ohio. This was his opportunity, his own program. Finally, his own program.
It was all happening so quickly. Practice would start the following week, his first game less than a month away. And then there was his fiancee Jennifer, a former women’s basketball player at Miami whom he first met as her coach and fell in love with after her senior year. They had been engaged a few months, but the plan was to wait a while for marriage. The phone call from East Central Community College had suddenly changed that timetable.
“Mississippi is the Bible Belt,” Cooper said. “I wasn’t going to be able to bring someone I was engaged to. I had to be married. So I got the job on Oct. 7. On Oct. 9, we got married in her mom’s living room. On Oct. 11, we started practice.”

4 things to ask before you join a gym
Posted: at 11:09 pm
One of the best things about living in a state obsessed with physical fitness is that health clubs are plentiful, and competition keeps the quality high.
The number of gyms keeps growing, and so does the variety. Joining the giant workout palaces that dominate the scene these days are an increasing number of small and midsized gyms, run by ambitious operators who keep the training personal — and personality-driven.
Add to that the surplus of pop-up boot camps that come and go, and the newest trend, self-serve gyms with 24-hour key- card access, and you've got a lot of choices.
With summer coming and that desperate (though bottom-line good for you) rush to get in bathing-suit shape right around the corner, we

thought we'd survey the landscape and offer a little updated advice.
Here are four questions to ask yourself before you sign on with a gym.
1. Do you fly solo, or do you need a co-pilot?
Many people join health clubs for the equipment; they aren't interested in classes or personal training.
"A lot of gyms will sell you access and let you figure it out," said Sean Gale, who owns Form Fitness clubs in downtown Denver and Ken Caryl.
That's not a bad thing. If you are a self-motivator and do the work, in time you'll lose weight, muscle up, or just get healthy.
But most gym-goers do better with a regimen, and in today's club culture, that means joining classes where anywhere from three to 30 people work out together. It's worth sorting out who offers what.
"The real magic is that you are feeding off the energy of the group," said Gale, who cleared out some equipment to make room for communal workouts last fall. The gym offers regular group sessions and a popular drop-in boot camp on Wednesday evenings.
Classes can get very specific, and this is where clubs differ. Ask what they teach and who teaches it — and try them out. See what comes with your membership

(usually aerobic and spinning) and what you'll pay extra for (yoga and Pilates most often, or limited programs that get you in shape for skiing or marathons).
The more classes, the better; you're a busy person. And check out the crowds. There's nothing worse than showing up for class and finding it full.
Insider: The trendiest classes these days combine calorie-burning and weight training in one economical hour, and they come with inspired names, like Forza Fitness' "Ripped& Shredded" or Colorado Athletic Club's "Cardio Chisel." Make sure your gym has something similar.
2. How much gym can you afford?
Some good advice: Set your budget first, then shop for a club. Expensive gyms are great — really great, sometimes — but they're a trap, and sales people know how to suck you in. It's not just the fancy machines or the stretch locker rooms, it's the pools, steam rooms and high-quality products in the shower that get you. Some people need those things — if you gym on your way to work, a clean, private shower is a key amenity. But if your needs and budget are modest, you can still do well in this town — even small places tend to have great equipment.
There are deals to be had, and often from major chains like Bally's or 24 Hour Fitness. At the other end are the community gyms and town rec centers; good ones can cost as little as $1 a day.
The key is to bargain. Gyms are like

airplanes — everybody pays something different to board, and you don't want to pay more than the guy on the treadmill next to you. Everyone knows you can often save by committing for a year instead of paying month-to-month, but other discounts are out there, like limited-use memberships or family plans.
Ask for the best deal offered. Hold out. See if they'll skip the initiation fee. You never know.
Insider: Don't commit too fast. You can always start on a monthly plan and convert to an annual membership at any time. It'll cost you just a few bucks more to find out if a gym is right for you.
3. Who owns this gym?
Maybe you don't care, but you probably should. Gyms run by real people have personality, and going there can be like working out with a friend who wants you to succeed.
One good example: Cole Fusion Fitness in Denver's Golden Triangle neighborhood, run by Frankie Cole. He's a buff guy with a big smile, a former competitive body-builder turned major motivator.
Cole built the business himself, machine by machine, client by client. He's popular enough that he just expanded to a new location at 1070 Bannock St. It's a modest place, not too big, shower in the basement, but it has all the right equipment — and it has Cole.
He teaches classes himself — he has a killer kickboxing class — and follows his members' transformations. People see him in the building, they check in.
"It's all about you" said Cole last week between classes. "But I'm not going to do the lifting for you. It all has to come from within."
Interacting with the owner at a small gym isn't like having a personal trainer, but it can be like having a workout partner, someone you don't want to disappoint.
And really, you wouldn't want to disappoint Frankie Cole.
"You can walk in and you can walk out, but the only thing that's going to make you stay is results," he said.
Insider: Cole is offering a special right now to celebrate his move: $150 for three months. That's a good deal.
4. When do you want to work out?
Health club hours matter, down to the minute.
Your gym ought to be there when you need it. Like on Thanksgiving morning, so you can pig out guilt-free that afternoon, or New Year's Day, so you can face up to that resolution on Day One. Some gyms close at 5 p.m. on Sundays, some at 7 p.m., and those last hours can be crowded.
To this end, more and more gyms are staying open 24 hours a day.
Form Fitness gives members an access card that lets them swipe in anytime. It might be lonely there at 3 a.m., but it's available.
Other clubs advertise similar deals, sometimes listing staffed and non-staffed hours. If round-the-clock gyming interests you, also check out Snap Fitness or Lifetime Fitness, both with several Colorado outposts.
Insider: Working out alone isn't for everybody, especially the injury prone.

Health and Fitness: The Benefits of Exercising
Posted: at 11:09 pm
There wasn't a more contentious issue on the minds of Canadians last week as the issue of the aging population came to the forefront of new headlines everywhere. The prime minister of Canada confirmed that his government is debating increasing the age of eligibility for the Old Age Security pension. Media reports hypothesized that the increase would be two years, raising the age to 67. Those two extra years would probably mean keeping people in the workforce longer and would lighten the immediate load on the OAS system.
Prime Minister Harper repeated that while no decisions are definite, the fact that Canada will have a lower percentage of its population working will inevitably become a significant economic issue. The "aging of the population and the shrinking of the labour force is a serious economic challenge for Canada, as it is for other countries." Harper said.
And with this debate circulating by the political pundits, what better topic to devote this week's column to than why running, or exercise, can be beneficial to the said aging population of Canada.
I have read, watched, and heard so many tales of people running marathons when they are well into their 80s, and 90s. Although this is on the extreme side of the spectrum, I have also seen many elderly people taking part in yoga classes at the gym, mall walking, and other classes devoted to their demographic. And I (although it will be many years from now) intend to participate in those classes.
My roommates laughed at me last year when I took a complimentary water aerobics class. Yes, I did bring down the age average significantly as I bopped and splashed besides ladies with shower caps and frilly skirts on their bathing suit, but by the end of the class I was both sore, and quite invigorated!
Many people think they're too old to start an exercise program. They think it's unsafe because they have heart disease or diabetes or because they're too out of shape to start. But you're never too old to start says Tufts University's Miriam Nelson. “Many people think they're too old to start an exercise program," she says. “They think it's unsafe because they have heart disease or diabetes or because they're too out of shape to start." But, in one Tufts study, nursing-home residents, whose ages ranged from 72 to 98, were monitored for ten weeks. After just ten weeks, strength-training improved their muscle strength, ability to climb stairs, and walking speed.
There are many myths circulating about aging and exercise that have stopped the elderly from exercising. One of them being that exercise can be more of a risk rather than a benefit, for example it puts you at risk of falling down. But, regular exercise, builds strength and stamina, and prevents loss of bone mass and improves balance, which would actually reduce your risk of falling. Another myth has to do with some of the population who are chair bound and think they can't exercise sitting down. However, because the aging population is such a prominent issue these days, there have been programs designed for anything. Chair-bound people face special challenges but can lift light weights, stretch, and do chair aerobics to increase range of motion, improve muscle tone, and promote cardiovascular health. Exercise for seniors is amazing at improving immune function, heart health, blood pressure, bone density, and digestive functioning. Seniors who exercise also have a lowered risk of several chronic conditions including diabetes, obesity, heart disease, osteoporosis, and colon cancer.
Benefits aren't just physical. Because exercise keeps the brain active, it can prevent memory loss, cognitive decline and dementia. Exercise has a protective effect on the brain may even help prevent Alzheimer's disease. One study of nearly 5,000 men and women over 65 years of age, showed that those who exercised were less likely to lose their mental abilities or develop dementia, including Alzheimer's. The inactive individuals were twice as likely to develop Alzheimer's, compared to those who did activities at least three times a week. It has even been seen that even the light or moderate exercisers cut their risk significantly for Alzheimer's and mental decline.
Even beyond age 70, cardiovascular exercise can improve memory and reasoning skills. "People who have chosen a lifetime of relative inactivity can benefit mentally from improved aerobic fitness," said the study's lead author and cognitive neuroscientist Arthur Kramer. "We see selective cognitive benefits which accompany improvement in aerobic fitness."
For anyone, old or young, exercise improves strength, flexibility and posture, which helps with balance, coordination, and reducing the risk of falls. Strength training also alleviates the symptoms of chronic conditions such as arthritis. But most of all, one of the greatest benefits is the feeling of empowerment that comes with the gains made through a feeling of accomplishments. It builds a network of community and friendships. Many seniors are isolated, but by being part of a group will boosts moods and self-confidence. Many seniors feel discouraged by barriers, such as their age, health conditions or concerns. But the endorphins will reduce feelings of sadness or depression and by being active and feeling stronger will make seniors feel more self-confident and sure of themselves.
So if Harper is right and we are seeing an increase in the aging population- maybe it's because they are all exercising now! When I drive to work, I see lots of older people out for a walk with their dogs or just by themselves. I think- good for them! I hope that when I am older I can be active. Whether it be yoga or water aerobics, sometimes I think you can't afford not to be active. Maybe I'll be one of those grandmothers that can beat their grandchildren in races and takes them on 10 kilometre runs and yoga retreats. Hmmmm…. Interesting idea. Although, I probably wouldn't be their favourite grandmother but I'll make sure to make it up to them on their birthdays. After all- what else are grandmothers for?
