In the second millennium, one frequently asked question is: What are.the limit of the human body? Is there a point at which it is physically impossible to do something?

“One thing we‟ve all learned in the last 30 years or so is to just about anything is humanly possible.” says Dr. Jack Wilmore from Texas A&M University and author of The Physiology of Sport and Exercise, part of which examines the limits of the human body.

“As the new millennium progresses. I think you’ll see more records continue to fall in every sport. The talent pool is better than ever. Never before have so many good athletes competed, and not just in this country, but all over the world. With more people involved and competing, records will fall and new standards will be set.

Many believed that it was physically impossible for a human to run a mile in under four minutes, but Roger Bannister proved that theory wrong with a three minutes, 59 second mile (1.609 kilometers) in 1954. Today, sub four-minute miles are considered routine even in high school. And Bob Beamon stretched human performance in the 1968 Olympics with his historic long jump of 8.9027 meters. In an event in which a record is usually broken by mere inches, he shattered the previous jump by 0.6096 meters, but even his record was broken in 1991.

“We‟ve all seen reports of people doing superhuman feats of strengths under duress, such as a man lifting a car off a child,” Wilmore adds, “So we know that the human body can do things that go far beyond normal activity. That‟s why it‟s foolish to say any record can‟t be broken.”

One additional factor is just now becoming more understood and heavily emphasized: sports psychology. Getting inside the athlete‟s head can be as effective as training and long workouts.

According to Wilmore, the psychological aspect of sports should not be discounted because we now know what makes the athlete tick mentally can be all-important. He points out that “most professional teams have hired sports psychologists for their players. It‟s just another way of tapping into a human‟s full potential.”

“In addition, every aspect of athletics – training, nutrition, injury treatment – is far better than ever been. Better coaching, training techniques, equipment and other factors all contribute to make today‟s athletes more competitive than ever,” he believes, “Children today tend to specialize in one or two sports instead of competing in several as was common twenty-five years ago,” Wilmore says. That means they start concentrating on a sport much earlier and more intensely, and they become much better at it.”

Wilmore also says that the chances of women achieving new heights in athletics could be greater than men, as more women are now involved in sports than at any other time and they are starting at about the same age as boys, meaning they are more skilled than the previous generation of girls. “Plus, women are taller and stronger than ever. It used to be rate to see a girl who towered above you. Now it seems like you see them every day.”

“There‟s a lot we don‟t know yet about the human body,” he adds, “And one of those things is the full range of human potential. It can be foolish to try and put limits on what the human body can do.”

Line

2 give you the opportunity to try out your technique and answers live. It is also a chance to

3 receive feedback that is benefit in guiding you towards improving on your interview style

5 improvement in your interview skills. Why? For the same reason that a speech doesn’t

6 exist while it is still on paper or float in your head. It only exists when you give it oral.

7 The first time you give it in front of an audience, it will come out nothing like the one you

8 prepared. It is the same with being interviewed. It is not enough to look at a question and

9 say, “Yeah, I know the answer for that one.” You need practicing your answers live; this

10 is not the time to talk to oneself in front of a mirror. Seek out a professional and have the

11 session videotape. Then you will have two opinions – the interviewer and yours.
