Did you see the Kentucky Derby a couple weeks ago? It was one of the most amazing races I have ever seen, as the 50-1 underdog, Mine That Bird, pulled off the second biggest upset in the 135-year history of the event – as the announcer said, “an impossible result.” Just consider some of his […]
I had been working with an athlete for several weeks in a traditional one-on-one setting and recently began to notice that his strength, energy levels, and overall intensity were down. In a recent session, I could sense early on in our mobility work that he was just going through the motions. Perhaps my teaching cues […]
Do you remember the movie, Top Gun? It’s one of my all-time favorites (besides Rocky, of course), full of action, passion and love.

It seems everyone is struggling for “balance” — physical balance, emotional/mental balance, balance between work/home/play, and balance in everything we do. I asked myself, “What is balance and how do you ever achieve it and consistently maintain it?” Every time I think I have found balance, I make decisions that seem to upend it. My […]
“Vision without action is a daydream; action without vision is a nightmare” What is your vision in life? What kind of lifestyle do you want to live? What do you want to accomplish in your lifetime? What is the legacy that you want to leave? When determining your purpose and vision in life, I often […]
One question I love to ask my clients is “What drives you to be great?” Regardless of whether it is a champion athlete, successful entrepreneur, or a hard-working professional, I find the answers are often similar. Regardless of your business, dreams, and desires, let’s use the traits of a champion and apply them to our […]
