Writing should be simple and elegant. Show me, don’t tell me.
Do you know the difference between a coach and a cartoon character?
If you want to be good at something and learn new things, you HAVE to read.
If you consistently do everything right, it all adds up.
Put down the shitty bodybuilding magazines, get off the fancy internet articles and videos, and take my advice.
What’s consistently surprised me is how coaching is such a microcosm of the real world.
And, oh yeah, until you’ve actually been through this shit, try not to talk about football, okay?
I simply don’t like frauds who attempt to practice their fraudulence at my expense.
Yeah, I’m pissing and moaning a lot about bullshit, but this just isn’t necessary.

Everything is a competition to this guy. Even in a basic email exchange, he has to get the better of you. To some people this is probably grating. To me, it’s funny, and it’s also a valuable lesson in realizing that it pays to be “on” and paying full attention at all times.
