I don't know why it didn't hit me sooner. Tucker has been dabbling in ski racing. He has always had success with minimal skin in the game. Yes, he wants to win but he doesn't do what it takes to get there. I was looking over U16 nationals from years ago, and there are people in there who have come and gone and others who were nobodies and rose to the ranks of top college racer. If Tucker wants to shoot for U18 nationals next year, he needs to change his perspective and training. First of all, he needs to lift in a different manner. He needs explosive lifting not just big pecs. Now is when he can make the decision and not look back. Tucker has the skill that Sam, Scotty, Cameron, Caedon have but he lacks the drive and proper training. It does help to have a training group that is moving in the same direction but it is what it is. Tucker will need to be the leader and Liam C will come right along.
I am not sure that I realized how terrible Tucker's fit was at Easterns. I saw him ripping his bib but if I had intervened, he might have started yelling or acted out more. I never know what to do in the situation. I have to step aside and he
I have found a few possible issues that could be what Tucker h

OCPD Anger Outbursts: Signs, Symptoms, Treatment (verywellhealth.com) this article talks about OCPD that is characterized by rigid rules, thinking they are right
- Practice relaxation techniques. Regular use of deep breathing, relaxing imagery or yoga may help you stay calm.
- Develop new ways of thinking. Also called cognitive restructuring, this involves gaining the ability to think about a frustrating situation in new or different ways. With professional help, you learn to do this by identifying thoughts and expectations that are not reasonable and changing them to be more realistic. These techniques may improve how you view and react to an event.
- Use problem-solving. Plan ways to solve a frustrating problem by being assertive rather than aggressive. Even if you cannot fix the problem right away, having a plan can refocus your energy.
- Learn ways to improve communication. Listen to the message the other person is trying to share. Then think about your best response rather than saying the first thing that comes to mind.
- Impulsive acts of rage and aggression often emerge following threats to an overinflated and unstable sense of self-worth. Interestingly, the same people with excessive confidence in their talents and abilities can also be incredibly insecure. This kind of fragile egotism is common in sports, especially on the national stage. While sports promote self-respect, team cooperation, and respectful competition, they also fuel pride, fierce individualism, and aggression. Athletes work hard, are driven to win, and are rewarded with fans and fame. At the same time, their image and respect can turn on a dime. Athletes are often judged to be only as good as their last game. Fans and media can shift loyalties in a heartbeat. A poor performance, a lost game, or a losing season can cause a serious blow to the ego, and some people react to these slights with impulsive and explosive rage.
Psychoanalyst Heinz Kohut defined the phenomenon as narcissistic rage. In his book Evil: Inside Human Violence and Cruelty, social psychologist (and PT blogger) Roy Baumeister describes it as threatened egotism. From both clinical and experimental observations, it becomes apparent that the most hostile and aggressive individuals are ones with high, but unstable, self-esteem. Baumeister writes: "These people think well of themselves in general, but their self-esteem fluctuates. They are especially prone to react defensively to ego threats, and they are also more prone to hostility, anger, and aggression than other people". Clinically, it's an extremely difficult dynamic to treat. Fragile egotists rarely take accountability for their actions, constantly blame others, feel like victimized outsiders or outcasts, and react with aggression at any suggestion that they may have some psychological shortcoming.
Like many mental health conditions, intermittent explosive disorder may be caused by a combination of psychosocial stressors, genetics, and life experiences.
Research shows that IED is linked to:
- being exposed to multiple traumatic events
- physical abuse in childhood
- personality disorders
- post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
Trauma can lead to changes in the brain.
Researchers have noted that PTSD can cause reductions in gray matter, specifically.
Gray matter is what helps you control your emotions and memories, among other functions.So far, research suggests that those who live with IED have a lower volume of gray matter and increased activity in the amygdala (the brain’s fire alarm) than folks not living with IED.
