If you are training hard, it’s unreasonable to think your body will not betray you.

Embracing “Work the Weakness”, I focus on the group’s need to brace harder and to open the hips more. To do this, and make it fun, I love adding “Windchime Squats” What are Windchime Squats? Well, we use […]
When I was in college, a hundred years ago, I went “downtown” one Saturday night to a place of libation and mockery. While there with my friends, I decided to give a new game a try. It was an arcade game in the corner of the bar that went by the name, “Defenders”. Dropping quarters […]
I just got back from a vacation in Kauai, Hawaii. Now and again we all need a bit of downtime to replenish our “power packs”, and this one came at a great moment for me. I don’t know about everyone who reads my Coaching Log, and their motivation for doing what they do in a […]
