HPRC Blog
Welcome to the HPRC Blog. We've got lots of information here, from quick tips to in-depth posts about detailed human performance optimization topics.
This year, make it your mission to fuel for performance using Go for Green® (G4G). Recently updated and redesigned, the Department of Defense's (DoD) G4G program promotes nutritious foods and beverages to optimize your fitness, strength, and health. G4G labels foods and beverages with a stoplight system—Green, Yellow, and Red—to identify your best choices for peak performance. Foods are also labeled with Low, Moderate, or High sodium symbols to point out sodium content.
The revamped G4G has a new look that makes it easy to identify and choose foods that boost your readiness. Check out the G4G Background sheet to find out what's new, how you benefit, and why it works.
You might see more nutrient-rich foods and tastier Green-coded recipes being served in your dining facilities or galleys. Fill your plate with more Green-coded foods to perform well on the job, in the classroom, at home, and on missions.
Learn more by visiting the updated G4G website. Make sure to like G4G on Facebook! Connect with the G4G team, share your stories, and post pictures showing how you "Go for Green."
A little kindness goes a long way. Thoughtfully supporting others actually improves your chances for a long life too. There are lots of ways to show helpfulness to neighbors, friends, or relatives such as providing transportation, running errands, or helping with childcare. Everyone benefits from giving and receiving support, and it doesn't always have to be a deed or gesture.
Providing emotional support to somebody is one of the best gifts you can give. Share your thoughts and feelings, respond to each other's needs, and listen attentively. Offer advice when asked. Not sure what to say? Sometimes your presence alone can bring comfort to someone who needs it. In fact, a caring gesture often encourages its recipient to return the kindness—so it becomes a "win-win." Be nice, help others, and develop long-lasting relationships.
Personal trainers can help you safely start and maintain an exercise routine. They can keep you motivated and accountable when it comes to reaching your fitness goals. Finding the right trainer can be challenging but important. Think of it like a date: get to know your potential trainer to find out if you're compatible. Here are a few things to look for:
- Education/Certifications. These days, anyone can become a personal trainer with a few mouse clicks. Is this person certified through one of the National Commission for Certifying Agencies (NCCA) such as National Federation of Personal Trainers (NFPT), American Council on Exercise (ACE), American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM), or National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM)? These are widely accepted certifications. Better yet, does the trainer have a 4-year degree in kinesiology or exercise science? Is he/she certified in CPR and first aid?
- Experience. We all have to start somewhere, but experience is helpful. How long has this person been a certified personal trainer? What types of clients does the trainer usually work with? Does he/she have expertise in sports conditioning, pre-natal fitness, or post-rehabilitation? If possible, ask clients (past and/or present) about their personal experiences.
- Personality. You have to enjoy spending time with your trainer so that you're fully committed to your training routine. Do you prefer a female or a male trainer? Someone close to your age? Choose somebody you like—someone who can motivate you.
- Business practices/Liability. Before you begin, make sure you understand all payment policies and procedures. Are your schedules compatible? What's the cancellation policy? Does the trainer carry professional liability insurance?
- Fees. Personal trainers can be worth the money, but make sure you understand what you're paying for. What are the costs? How long is each session? How often will you meet? Is it cheaper if you buy more sessions up front? Will you need to purchase a gym membership?

When working to build your concentration on one task, consider fixing problems and/or embracing new techniques. Ask yourself whether you're trying to restore a level of performance that you previously achieved—or if you're trying to boost your performance. Physical injuries, pain, medications, sleep deprivation, and addiction could distract you from the task at hand. Mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can negatively impact your ability to focus too. Through successful treatment with a trained medical provider, your attention skills could likely be restored to previous levels.
If you're aiming to enhance your focus capabilities and perform better than ever, you might want to try some mental performance techniques. These skills include goal-setting, self-talk habits, mental imagery, energy maximization, and organized routines to steer your attention. When developing a routine, you can become more aware of where your attention could go, and practice regularly guiding it to where you want it to go. As you develop practical habits, stay flexible and allow yourself to be spontaneous and adaptable when appropriate.
Heart disease is the #1 cause of death among adults in the U.S.—deadlier than any form of cancer. Risk factors for heart disease include high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, overweight/obesity, family history, and smoking.
So what can you do to protect yourself protect yourself and your loved ones? First, know your risk factors. There are some things that you can't change, such as your family history, sex, and age. But there are many things you CAN change through lifestyle choices.
Regular exercise can help you manage many risk factors such as weight, blood pressure, and cholesterol. By now, you've probably forgotten about your New Year's fitness resolutions! Get back on track: commit to at least 30 minutes of moderate to vigorous activity at least 5 days a week. You can even stay active at work!
Remember to make healthy food choices and manage your stress too. Check out the newest Dietary Guidelines for the latest recommendations on eating right. Reboot those fitness and nutrition resolutions to stay ready, resilient, and fit.
Looking for easy ways to increase your fruit intake with super healthy foods? Think citrus! Many varieties are available at this time of year—at their peak of flavor, availability, and cost. Citrus include lemons, limes, oranges, grapefruits, clementines, and many others. They contain essential potassium, calcium, antioxidants, and fiber—all of this in a small, low-calorie package!
Citrus have been around for centuries. Long known as a valuable source of vitamin C, British sailors, known then as limeys, took them on board to prevent scurvy, a vitamin C deficiency. If you haven't been a fan before, experiment by trying new varieties such as super-sweet Cara Caras or tart-and-sweet Mineola tangelos! Here are some delicious ways to include citrus in your winter meals and all year long:
- Lay sliced oranges and red onions on a bed of romaine lettuce and top with kalamata olives and vinaigrette dressing.
- Halve a grapefruit, top with ½ tsp brown sugar, and broil for a few minutes.
- Cube several varieties of oranges and add some fresh mint.
- Arrange thinly sliced oranges and top with shredded coconut.
- Create a parfait of layered oranges, Greek yogurt, granola, and drizzled honey.
Since many citrus have been sprayed with pesticides, remember to wash before peeling—then eat and enjoy! Who knew eating healthy could be so tasty?

Dietary supplements containing stimulants can negatively affect your heart and increase your risk of an adverse event. Stimulants such as caffeine, yohimbine, and synephrine can cause increased or irregular heart rate and high blood pressure and have been associated with chest pain, stroke, and heart attack. In addition, ingesting stimulants before or during exercise can further increase your risk for such heart problems and lead to potentially worse outcomes.
If you are considering a dietary supplement, it's important to read the product label carefully, especially if you have a heart condition. There are many different stimulants used as ingredients in dietary supplements, and often products come with a warning. Moreover, stimulants are sometimes contained in a proprietary blend, so you can't tell from the label exactly how much of each ingredient you would be taking.
Is it safe to exercise when you're sick? Those who have strict workout schedules aren't likely to let the sniffles get in the way of their physical fitness. Exercise benefits include better weight control, improved mood, more energy, and healthier sleep. What's more, just 30 minutes of regular exercise 5 times each week can improve your heart health and boost your immune system too.
Moderately exercising while you're sick can be safe and, in certain cases, might actually improve symptoms such as congestion and low-energy. First, you need to determine "how sick is sick." You can figure this out by using the "neck rule." If you have symptoms above the neck—including sore throat, nasal congestion, sneezing, or watery eyes—then moderate workouts can continue. If your symptoms are below the neck—including cough, fever, fatigue, or body aches—then rest until the symptoms are gone. You can also use your temperature to determine whether exercising is okay. If you have a temperature of 101°F or higher, moderate or vigorous exercise isn't safe due to risks of heat-related illnesses and dehydration.
Ultimately, the decision to exercise when you're sick is up to you. If you're too weak and fatigued to get out of bed, exercising might not be the best choice. If you have symptoms of a cold and your temperature is below 101°F, light to moderate exercise could be good for you. Make sure to see a doctor if your symptoms don't improve or get worse.

Procrastination prom and aislestyle.
Hey beautiful people, haven't been out here for a while now but here comes some procrast.
I'm about to attend a prom tonight, watching virgin suicides all day getting ready while dreaming on aislestyle.se of prom dresses and small summer clouds instead of frozen rainy winter. I kind of wish I was fifteen but now I'm not and I will not for a second pretend I am not still spending hours and hours per day looking for flowy things to wear at night. I wonder if it used to be a bigger deal times back having a big night looking forward to, or if the movies just chooses to romantize them for 2000 people like me to wish they were born forty years back. I'm mainly fascinated by the seriousness over it, and in the way all the decorations and surroundings is what matters. The wedding dresses and the evening dresses and the suits and so on seems to be the surface of something bigger, but that one never gets to experience if not there.
I think I'll try to go all in for the roll play tonight by continuing looking for websites promoting party dresses and other amazing pieces of clothing.
Pictures from Pinterest (the movie virgin suicides).
Two things on Sunday in October.
- Time is half past five and I'm still at a little café located on the wrong side of the river in Uppsala. The place is called Hugos Kaffe and serves vego and vegan food. One is allowed to sit here for hours, as I've been doing today. Would like to recommend it as a sunday thing to do. Be alone and make sure to speak to the owner as much as you can. He knows stories etc. It used to look like this and now it looks kind of the same but all blue. I stole the pic from their page on Facebook.
Later tonight I'm gonna go watch a movie called Taikon. I've been wanting to see it forever now and today is one of the last days it is shown at the cinema. I's a documentary about the life of the writer and activist Katarina Taikon. Its about how she became the leading voice when the Romani people in Sweden fought for their civil rights and how she influenced an entire generation of kids with her books about young romani girl Katitzi. Pictures from pinterest.
I'll write about it later.
Copenhagen 17 hours.
Last weekend me stina and ida went to CopenhagenWe went to celebrate stinas birthday and to look for danish food Road there was long and the sky shifted in weird colors. We saw a rainbow and had fika at Maccas halfway Stina released some good news about us staying at a hotel instead of sleeping in the car <3 Sun set once we crossed the bridge to Denmark Once there we took a bath and listened to Destiny's Child and then we went to Kodbyen to have pizza at a place called Mother (click link 2 get 2 website). We went dancing at Bakken, which is a place just next to Mother.
They play funky music from 9 to 4 Idas Monki top was matching the walls far to well while bakken is packed with people generally, there is a corridor that always remains empty Vry good place to practice dance moves etc.
We took of to another place that I don't even know the name of but it's on the other side of the huge parking lot and they play 60s rock After, we walked home and had kladdkaka in bed. Stina even got a candle and a song, and we left for Lund and Stockholm that same morning.
Hijazz and a fake fur.
Hola. Haven't been writing lots lately because I forgot my camera in Stockholm, and since I now live in Uppsala (which is located like 1 h with train outside) and can't afford to pay for tickets there's been a bit of a blog pause. Anyway, cams here now and yesterday I used it heaps all nightIt all started in my wicked room I've finally got some pictures up on my walls and the fairylight makes it all cozy n liveble although the only kitchen I got is my microwave I was wearing fake fur from H&MMe and Isa started of with going to a student nation pub to celebrate a friends 22nd birthday by having warm and cheap beers Shortly after though, there was a gig just next to the station at a place called Hijazz.
Eva and her band Trio Anda was playing! (Find their facebook page here) Their music was actually amazing and I would recommend anyone to try to go and see them. Me, Isa and Paulina was front rawerz
The singer, Gabriella Forslund, had written all their songs After, we had more beers and wines and music.
What you'll look like once I'm done with you.
Here is some huge inspo for my room project. I went to get some trees yesterday, but only found two plants but that will be fine for now. I'll show you all the room in the end of the week ya

Uppsala morning and an empty palace.
I just moved into a tiny place. Tiny but mine. It's been empty all summer until this morning when I rocked up with my towels and cutlery. It's weird how unipersonal it is and I will put all the energy I have on filling up these walls during the week and the weekend. Agnes is coming over on Thursday and we're gna have a total makeover and hopefully have pizza and wine on the floor after that.
I'm about to run to my first lesson. Is this where one completely changes her mind.
I don't care if monday's blue thursday I don't care about you it's friday I'm in love.
This friday afternoon me and some new pals went to a pre party before the final event of the week. Ze gasq we all met at Andrés to have red wine and to melt in the sun etc. it all looked like this it was kinda weird seeing everyone in a general outfit since we'd all been dressed in different themes during the rest of the week I lost my glass Filippa and Hedvig was there and Filip dropped in a lil late later, we took our bikes to Norrlands Nation which is a huge building where they apparently normally have balls and gasques and those other mas important events. Elin brought her camera too once there we found about 100 other people from the political science program. Like Thea and Adam! there was a seating and I got to sit at Emelies table and next to this dewd we all had dinner and learned how to pronounce the word Politices (the program we study), still can't get in right though. This sign was supposed 2 help Noura and Filip outside after dinner
after that we all went back inside to have dessert and punch and to sing songs very quirky they also announced some winners of the weeks passed competitions, and my team won white roses which was a blast Hedvig was really frekkin happy we had a dance it got late after that we had some celebration shots and someone played Beyoncé or Håkan or both there was a lot of lights too we finished the evening by moving on to a club called GH only playing deep house and that took the tiny bit of energy that was left.
Story of Uppsala to be continued yeh
The lady and the gasqueen.
So it's been the most intense week of Uppsala student kickoff and now it's over. This friday there was a gasq and I just finished fixing up the photos from it that I will be posting during the evening. The blog is gonna get a bit busier now hopefully, when I have some time for it. Starting of with the gasq clothing anyway. I was wearing a body that I got in Prague this summer, together with a skirt-made dress from Karen Millen. Found white striped socks at Monki and shoes are from Vagabond.
Team winning 2015.
New t-shirt from Monki that I've been wearing at least once a day lately.
A new gallery.
Hey, I'm starting a gallery tumblr called Gurlfangs that will show some photos with a simple description. Mainly created to inspire people to join the movement of an anti-sexist, racist and idealistic society. I will continue blogging about my everyday life here on Gloss

Adirondack Park Agency visitor interpretive centers
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (July 2009) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
The Adirondack Park Agency visitor interpretive centers (or VICs) were established in 1989 and 1990, respectively.[1] They were designed to introduce visitors to the special features of the Adirondack Park, which, at 6 million acres (24,000 km²), is the largest park in the lower 48 United States. The centers help orient visitors to the park via educational programs, exhibits, and interpretive trails. Educational programs are available for school groups as well as the general public. The trails are open daily year round, from dawn to dusk.
Paul Smith's center[edit]
The Paul Smith's center opened in 1989. Located on approximately 2,700 acres (11 km2) in Paul Smiths, New York, near Paul Smith's College, the Paul Smith's College Visitor Interpretive Center (Paul Smith's VIC) has approximately six miles of interpretive trails and eight miles (13 km) of backcountry trails. Throughout the property visitors will encounter every habitat type found in the Adirondack Park except alpine. Historically, each spring the center hosts the Great Adirondack Birding Festival. Throughout the year visitors can partake of guided interpretive walks, regular outdoor activities, naturalist-led canoe paddles on Barnum Pond, and assorted lectures and slide presentations. In the winter the trails are open for snowshoeing and cross-country skiing. The Paul Smith's center is open daily from 9:00am to 5:00pm.[2]
Newcomb center[edit]
The Newcomb center, known as the Adirondack Interpretive Center, opened in 1990. Located on 236 acres (0.96 km2) at the outlet of Rich Lake, the center has approximately three and a half miles of interpretive trails. Habitats include lakeshore, wetlands, old growth forest, and mixed northern forest. Throughout the year staff conduct naturalist-led trail walks, guided paddles on Rich Lake, and assorted workshops and lectures. All trails are open in the winter for snowshoeing; cross-country skiing is permitted, and requires varying degrees of skill depending on trails and conditions. Dogs are allowed on leash year round, and owners are asked to please clean up after their dogs to preserve trail conditions for all users. The Adirondack Interpretive Center is open from 10:00am to 4:00pm, Tuesday through Saturday. It may occasionally be closed; calling first is advised.[3]
Participation of colleges and universities[edit]
Due to state fiscal and budgetary constraints, Governor David Paterson marked the VICs for closure on December 31, 2010.[4]
Management of the Newcomb center was assumed by the SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry (SUNY-ESF) on July 1, 2010, with program responsibility beginning January 1, 2011.[5] The Adirondack Interpretive Center is situated on ESF's Huntington Wildlife Forest, a 15,000-acre (61 km2) biological field station the college has operated in Newcomb since 1932,[6] and also home to the College's Adirondack Ecological Center.[7]
Management of the Paul Smith's center was assumed by Paul Smith's College.

Expect a Galaxy Note 6 from Samsung this year. No doubt about that because the tech giant has been working on the next Note since the Note 5 was launched last year. We heard a rumor that there might be no Galaxy S7 Edge+ for Europe for last week. It's just a speculation so Samsung can still surprise the mobile market at the upcoming Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.
The biggest surprise can be that Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge will be launched together with the Note 6 this early, if not the Galaxy S7 Edge+. Okay, that's another wishful thinking but we've heard a few rumors about the next Note already and besides, there's also that information about the S7 family (not S7 Duo) will impress the mobile industry once again. As to how, we have no idea exactly.
Some information slipped through Weibo about the specs and features of the Galaxy Note 6. According to the source, the next Note phablet will boast of a 5.8-inch screen with Slim RGB AMOLED display, 1440 x 2560 pixel resolution, and 6GB RAM. Wait, 6GB RAM?! That's too high for a mobile device but not totally impossible since Samsung brought the first 12-gigabit (GB) LPDDR4 RAM into mass production last September 2015.
The Galaxy Note 6 will still have an S-Pen although we're not sure if this year's Note 6 will already be equipped with that foldable S-Pen kickstand we uncovered last week. We don't know either what the RGB AMOLED screen is exactly but it could be a new technology of AMOLED-- another superior display for the premium Galaxy flagships.
The Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 edge to be accompanied by the Galaxy Note 6 at the MWC 2016 could be a possibility but you know how it is in gadget town. We know little about this Note phablet compared to the dozens of rumors and leaks about the new S7. If a new Note would be launched, we should be hearing more related rumors by now. The 6GB RAM bit is absolutely intriguing. Let's see about that.

Government investigators have interviewed 28 military officers after receiving reports that officers were trying to organize a coup and take over the government. Since 1966, there have been five military takeovers of the government. Most of the officers investigated were Moslem. About half the population is Moslem, most of them in the north of the country. Most of the governments since 1966 have been dominated by Moslems, but the current one is largely run by Christians.

The best message to take from this book is to be aware of what is going on in the workplace. Take the opportunity to change the inequality. Don't wait for someone to "fix" things for you. When opportunities present themselves jump on them if it's what you want. Take control.
With the power of technology, innovation, and education, the model she advances is becoming- and arguably has become- obsolete. Her approach already feels outdated and it's hard to see how "Lean In" will inspire a revolution.Read more ›
Why do I call myself "underprivileged":
1. I came to the U.S. when I was 22 years old, speaking broken English. Today, I still feel that my options are limited because of my English :)
2. I don't have any family connection in the U.S. When I arrived the U.S. for the 1st time in my life, I didn't have any friends.
3. My parents are no where near the term "privileged". They don't have money, power, or connections.
4. I didn't graduate from prestige schools like Harvard - I wish I could. But I am still proud of my 2 Master's degrees in science. I earned them through hardworking. I had to work a full-time day job + a night job + going to school full time so that I could pay for the out-of-state tuition, support my parents and my brother, and keep my legal status
Today, I am a senior manager in IT industry- not nearly as sucessful as Mrs. Sandberg. But you can see why I relate to her in many ways:
1. Like Mrs. Sandberg and her husband, my husband and I are full-time working parents with 2 young children
2. Like Mrs. Sandberg and her husband, I plan kids' parties and my husband manages family finances. My husband and I divide our family duties
3. Like Mrs. Sandberg and her husband, my husband and I insist on having dinners with our children everyday and share the favorite part of the day and the worst part of the day - cannot believe they do this too!
4. At work, I always sit at the table - just like her

ARLINGTON, Texas -- Chris Young never expected to have to chose again between baseball and basketball. The Texas Rangers helped make it an easy decision for the 6-foot-10 pitcher.
Young, approached recently by the Sacramento Kings about playing in the NBA, got a new three-year, $1.5 million contract Friday from
the Rangers. The deal includes a team option for 2008.
The 25-year-old right-hander was traded from Montreal to the
Rangers at the end of spring training, and made his major league
debut Aug. 24. Young went 3-2 with a 4.71 ERA in seven starts. He
got his first win Sept. 4 at Fenway Park when he ended a 10-game
winning streak by eventual World Series champion Boston.
Those six weeks in the major leagues and his expected role in
the starting rotation next season helped Young decide to stick with
"Being able to get the major league experience, seeing where I fit in, see how I could compete at this level was a big factor in
that," Young said. "Had I been in the minor leagues, there's no
doubt I would have had some questions about my future as a big
league pitcher."
Young was a two-sport standout at Princeton, and led the Tigers basketball team with 13.5 points and 5.8 rebounds a game as a
sophomore during the 1999-2000 season. That was the last time Young played basketball competitively.
The Pittsburgh Pirates took him in the third round of the draft
in the summer of 2000, and he started his pro baseball career.
But Young wasn't forgotten as a basketball player by two
Sacramento officials with Princeton ties: assistant coach Pete
Carril, his coach at Princeton, and general manager Geoff Petrie,
an alumnus of the Ivy League school. When the Kings lost 7-1 center
Vlade Divac in free agency this summer, they contacted Young.
"It was a surprise to me that Sacramento came to me and offered me to join their team," Young said. "It was a very tough
Young told the Kings he would consider their offer only after
the baseball season, and by then he was part of the Rangers
"I realized one of my goals in becoming a major league
pitcher," Young said. "To get three wins down the stretch
pitching in a pennant race was unbelievable. Pitching in my
hometown, it was pretty much a dream come true. But that being
said, I think there's a lot to build on."
The Rangers claimed INF Ruddy Yan off waivers from the Chicago White Sox. ... RHP John Wasdin, INF Manny Alexander and OFs Chad Allen and Jason Conti were among 13 players signed to minor league contracts and invited to spring training.

But when another dog—a very cool dog—shows up in an outfit and does amazing tricks and beats all the other dogs in a race, Zorro discovers that wearing clothes might not be so bad after all.
Everything is back on schedule.

I chose this book to feature at storytime based strictly on its cover art...I thought maybe the outfit was a costume for Halloween which is coming up next month. But, alas, Zorro's owners just dress him up for no reason. Hmm. Mr. Bud doesn't get an outfit - is there some sort of prejudicial pooch preference going on here? The mutt doesn't rate an outfit but the pedigreed pug does!? Perhaps All-Dogs-Deserve-Coutoure should investigate. (No, that organization does NOT exist!) Anyway, Zorro is savagely mocked by the other dogs and even by the cat he and Mr. Bud routinely chase. It is too much for a little dog to endure with any fortitude...until an ubercool trick-performing canine named Dart enters the picture dressed in his own dashing duds. Suddenly, it's okay to be different. The artwork is breathtakingly character-driven giving life and personality to each figure. I especially love the one with all 3 dogs racing, all four feet in the air, their faces intent on the win. Great stuff for any age!

Brothers pursuing tennis dream
For the Scott brothers, tennis is a passion; one that landed them a once-in-a-lifetime experience last month.
Members of a country club in Memphis, Tenn., Christian and Christopher received an invite to tryout to serve as ball boys during the ATP World Tennis Tour. Their selection gave them the chance to hang out with pro players during the Regions Morgan Keegan Championships.
"We tried out and got it, pretty much because we're tall and could take the hits because the serves are so fast," Christopher said. "When we got there at first, we didn't get to meet anyone we really knew, then we got to meet Andy Roddick, and that was such a great experience. He's a very interesting guy and a good tennis player, so it was a great experience."
The twins had the chance to work with five professionals, including Roddick, who took time to give pointers to the boys.
"The day before the championships, I got to experience giving them their towels and water, watched them warm up, then got to go to the Racquet Club, where we got to be ball boys for five professionals," Christian said. "Andy Roddick was one of the best experiences, because we got to see his serve and he gave us pointers for when we're on the court and handling the ball."
Added Christopher, "Just to see them, it was life changing, because we take tennis very seriously and want to pursue this after high school. I would recommend to any high school to do this, because there's so much you can learn, and it was just a neat experience."
Both became interested in tennis, playing in Tupelo, but stepped away from the game to briefly pursue football. Returning to tennis, the duo routinely travels to Memphis, Tenn. to play as well as competing with the New Albany High tennis team.
"We stepped away from the game for a couple years, but continued to follow it, then we realized how amazing of a sport it is and remembered how we played at one point," Christopher said. "We joined the New Albany Middle School team, and have gone through tons of training, and now we're at this point."
Adding to the uniqueness of the brothers playing at NAHS is that they compete together as a doubles team, something that they enjoy, but admit has its obstacles.
"It's fun and definitely interesting, and as brothers, we tend to have moments where we argue over who missed the ball, but we have a bond we share on the court. It's a great experience."
The duo defeated Grenada's Chace Holland and Tanner Aldridge in the number two doubles position on Tuesday (6-3, 6-2), and have high expectations for the Bulldogs this season.
"We are going to win state," Christopher said. "That is on my mind, nothing can change that. It's our goal, we talk about it every day as a team, and that's our focus."
NAHS was scheduled to compete on Thursday against North Pontotoc and will host Pontotoc next Monday.

A house in south Auckland has been destroyed by a fire
started by a child playing with a cigarette lighter under a
Papatoetoe Fire Station Senior Station Officer Terry Jenner
said there were multiple calls about the blaze in Otahuhu
about 1pm.
Mr Jenner said the family who lived in the house were alerted
by an 8-year-old boy who yelled 'fire, fire, fire'.
"The mother came outside and one of the daughters was not
accounted for so the mother went back inside to try and find
the daughter, was a little bit overcome by the smoke and
managed to get out again.
"The unfortunate thing was the daughter had been outside the
whole time but had not gone to what we call the safe meeting
place, which in this case would have been the letterbox."
When firefighters arrived at the house on Clements St, the
single storey home was engulfed in smoke and flames.
The four children were uninjured, while their mother suffered
smoke inhalation and was treated by ambulance paramedics at
the scene.
Mr Jenner said it was unclear whether there were smoke alarms
because "every ceiling in the house is down on the floor".
Police said the incident highlighted the importance of
ensuring matches and lighters were always kept out of reach
of children.

Margot Robbie Agrees That Her Much-Critiqued Vanity Fair Profile Was 'Really Weird'
Similar to the public's reaction to the story, in a new interview, Margot Robbie describes her interview with writer Rich Cohen for Vanity Fair as "really odd."
Similar to the public's reaction to the story, in a new interview, Margot Robbie describes her interview with writer Rich Cohen for Vanity Fair as "really odd."
Cara Delevingne and Margot Robbie are starring together in next month's summer blockbuster Suicide Squad, a wacky caper in which a goth lit major and an Insane Clown Posse devotee get together to fix Jared Leto's hair crisis. Love magazine—the British fashion rag you love to buy at the newsstand for $17—got them both…
In a profile for Vanity Fair's August 2016 cover, writer Rich Cohen struggled to separate actress Margot Robbie from her existence as a sexual being, as many male writers have felt inclined to do about women forever. The feature on its own, which takes an odd tone and is not particularly well-written, was enough to…
In his new profile of Margot Robbie for Vanity Fair, Rich Cohen makes the mistake of equating his sexual desire for Robbie with compelling insight. He also made the mistake of giving all of Australia a lazy backhanded compliment, which is now backfiring at a rapid rate.
Celebrity profiles must somehow convey the legitimacy of their star power, some undeniable quality that explains their image over-saturating our screens. With women, that quality is generally defined by sex appeal, and that sex appeal is generally written about by men.
In the cover story of Vogue's June issue, Australian actress Margot Robbie is referred to as Hollywood's 25-year-old "girl of the moment." This description (written by a man) is both irritating and untrue, as writers should not be describing women as "girls," and 30-year-old women should not be described as "25."
Something's up.
2016's potential Next Big Thing Margot Robbie has been cast as 1994's potential Next Big Thing Tonya Harding in the upcoming biopic I, Tonya. Entertainment Weekly reports the film will be written by Steven Rogers, the screenwriter of Stepmom, another movie about two feuding women.
Margot Robbie, 24-year-old star of the upcoming Suicide Squad, is the proud mama of a pet rat, and it's all thanks to Jared Leto. Leto, who plays the Joker in the film, gave all his co-stars a gift before shooting to help him "get into character." Robbie was lucky enough to receive "a nice love letter with a black box…
Kim Kardashian, who reportedly is one of the first people who knew about Bruce Jenner's transition close to a decade before anyone else did, has seen "her" and says "she's beautiful."
Or something. SO EXCITED TO SEE THIS MOVIE.
Thanks to the antics of nine-month-old Luca Cruz, new mom Hilary Duff now prefers to get her fuck on in the morning with husband, retired Canadian ice hockey player (well, I think he's still Canadian) Mike Comrie. "[Sex after having a baby is] definitely different," she tells Us Weekly. I'm so exhausted at the end of…
