AIM Barleylife Athlete in Action.

 

J.R. Celski—National Short Track Inline Speed Skating Champion

barleylifeAt age 13, J.R. Celski is the most decorated skater in his region among skaters 18 years old and younger. He has earned medals in seven National Inline Speed Skating events, including four gold medals since his first inline competition in 1995. We took a little time to get to know this accomplished young man.

AIM: J.R., what got you started in skating?

J.R.: My two older brothers started speed skating when I was two and I thought it looked fun. I wanted to start skating from then on and got my first pair of plastic inline skates for my third birthday. I’ve been skating ever since.

AIM: What do you do to stay in top condition?

J.R.: I train six days a week. Three days—two hours of inline skating; two days—two hours of ice skating; one day—off-ice drills. I also have a conditioning class, run Mondays and Thursdays, lift weights on Tuesdays and Fridays, and do leg workouts on Wednesdays.

AIM: Wow. That’s quite a schedule. What part does nutrition play in your regimen?

J.R.: I know my body needs to perform at its absolute best and that means I need to eat nutritious foods and drink lots of water. I take AIM BarleyLife® two times a day, right after I get home from school and right before bed.

AIM: What has been your experience using AIM BarleyLife®?

J.R.: I have been taking AIM BarleyLife® twice a day for the last 18 months. It helps with my endurance, strengthens my immune system so I don’t catch colds so easily, and helped me overcome my allergies, so my training isn’t interrupted.

AIM: You are a very focused young man. What are your goals for the future?

J.R.: My short-term goal in inline skating is to win at Nationals this year, and in ice skating to earn Category One, the most elite category in the US.
