I wanted to share with you this very relevant and one of the oldest sports clichés which have to do with which team has the “momentum.” It’s funny, the team that’s winning always seems to have the momentum. And the team that’s losing doesn’t have any at all. The only problem with this analysis is that…
DetailsI hear this a lot from people who are struggling with their fitness: “I’m not motivated to work out.” Hear me out on this: It turns out that motivation is a myth. That’s right, it doesn’t exist. At least not by itself. Motivation is not something that’s going to crash down from the sky like…
DetailsIt’s Labor Day here in the good ol’ US of A, the symbolic end of summertime and the unofficial start of fall. I wanted to take a moment to thank you for allowing me to do something I love – coaching people I really enjoy on how to improve their lives, gain physical and mental strength and…
DetailsI hear a lot of people talking about wanting to get a “fresh start” with their fitness. But what does that really mean?

DetailsSummer is winding down for most of us, and we’re starting to think about sending the kids back to school and maybe going back to a more normal work schedule. Sure, there’s still uncertainty in the air — one of the few guarantees in life is that there will always be uncertainty — but I’m…
DetailsI’ve learned over my many years of life (personal and professional) that this one question is the basis for everything you and I want/desire. The difference between failure/success. What Has to Change? In my first conversation with a person who’s thinking about starting a fitness program with me, there are two key questions I like…
DetailsWe Humans make tens of thousands of decisions every day. Some are bigger than others, but they all work the same way. We decide to do something, not do it, or do it in a half-assed way. We make decisions to eat or not to eat, and what to eat. We decide whether we’re going…
