Things that make coaching worthwhile
Why do I coach? Why do I still like coaching? It’s not the money, that’s for sure, though we make enough for what we need. If anyone wants to open a gym or be a coach because they think they will get rich doing it, they are delusional. Anyone whose main motivation in life isContinue reading “Things that make coaching worthwhile”

During the holidays, many people will be like the big guy in the red suit sitting onContinue reading “Be like the reindeer, not like Santa”
Crushing the basics again
Book recommendation
I am studying this book now and it is one of the most informative I have read in quite a while, and I read a lot of books. Scott Iardella shows numerous reasons why strength is so important all through life, but especially as you age. He covers some subjects in depth that many peopleContinue reading “Book recommendation”
