Episode 57 Goals, Journey, Tools, and Choice In this episode I discuss exactly what the title says. I talk about how I look at the goal compared to the journey. How I see everything I can learn as a tool and how we always have a choice. I know it is fun to talk about and learn training stuff in the gym but like it or not everything is connected. In order to get our best results in the gym we need to think about these things.

Episode 55 Training Outside the Gym 03/25/2024

Episode 55 Training Outside the Gym In reality the time we actually spend in the gym is pretty short compared to the time we have.

Episode 45 WHY SO MUCH CRITIZING ON SOCIAL MEDIA In this episode I talk about one of my big pet peeves. The is just way too much critizing on social media. It seems a lot of coaches and trainers are trying to make themselves seem more important by putting down other athletes, coaches, and trainers.

I talk about imposter syndrome and about the kind of coach you really want to find. /episode/index/show/264bd51b-8153-4994-8d2d-240cf8a37d91/id/29586883
