As usual the key to memorizing anything is to turn it into a picture and store it to what we call files or what Simonedes (the father of memory training) referred to as loci (Latin word meaning place).

Ron White memory guy here. I am sure you know that when training for memory championships I am obviously really working to enhance my memory training. However, what you may not know that I am also paying attention to my nutrition and foods that help memory. I have also really for the first time started thinking about how sleep impacts the memory. At the 2010 USA Memory Championship I only had 60-90 minutes sleep the night before. Although I won, I was not on my 'A' game and I don't recommend it!
I know, I am Ron White the memory guy, what do I know about sports? Well I know I don't have the athletic ability to play!
