Blog 119 – Foot Placement is Key – Where are Your Feet?
We get comfortable with what we know and with what is familiar to us. This is good, we need consistency and order and comfort around us. A home base to return to and rest. A place to cultivate and tend. But life is not for cultivating and resting alone. In my opinion Life is an […]
Blog 118 – Theodore, Hero and Life Coach
Theodore Roosevelt is one of my heroes. His accomplishments are quite astonishing. Writer, Historian, Rancher, Naturalist, Academic, Statesman, Adventurer, Fitness Nut, Fighter, Taxidermist, Father and Husband, multi-lingual (he spoke German), visionary and a great Leader. He was incorruptible, his exploits fighting crime and corruption as New York City Police Commissioner, for example, were brilliant. Are […]
Blog – 117 Suck Embraced, Onward
Woke up, still dark. Looked at my phone, 3:11am. Tried to sleep some more . . . no luck. Here it comes, the question I always face on leg day. Do I get up and do 190 squats, complete a one mile warmup, and then do seven 105 meter hill sprints? My brain searched for […]

I was thinking about leadership skills and realized that people who lead others could benefit from the 365 Commitment by simply making a daily commitment to apply good leadership skills/ habits. […]

112 – Feelings, Nothing More Than Feelings
Feelings can derail us. It goes something like this. Step one, make your 365 Commitment list for the day.

Step three, allow someone or something to upset you so […]
