Whether 2015 was everything I wanted doesn't really matter anymore, because it is gone. One thing I have realized is I had better be able to look myself in the mirror and say I did everything in my power to help others with nothing in return. That is how I determine success.

This year I graciously resigned from the Director of Education at elitefts to become a Catholic grade school teacher. At age 42, I finally found my calling. Through Dave and Traci's generosity, I am able to keep my training log and still be a member of Team Elitefts. That in itself is humbling and gratifying beyond words.

Looking back, I wanted to be proud of what my time at elitefts entailed. I hope I was able to bring some wisdom, guidance, and insight to some coaches who are in the shoes I was in 15-20 years ago. Hopefully, I had an impact on a few. Thank you for Dave empowering me to do so. Here is a list of a few projects I am most proud of.

The Elitefts™ Sports Performance Podcast

The Elitefts™ Sports Performance Podcast is the premier resource for strength & conditioning coaches, sports performance professionals, and athletes of all levels. Bringing you the best information from the scientific foundations to the practical application. Combining the latest cutting edge research, anecdotal evidence, and under the bar experience.

One of my proudest accomplishments while serving as the Director of Education at elitefts was the implementation of a platform for the best and brightest practitioners in our industry to pass on their wisdom. After over 60 episodes, it is time for a new chapter.

There were a few key components that were important to have to enable these podcasts to represent the quality of elitefts. First, our guests were unapologetically honest and were selfless in there presentations. Second, they held back nothing when disseminating information, which I was keenly aware of when inviting them on the show. Third, they understood the values of elitefts and passed on their experiences and knowledge to a wide arrange of coaches.

I sincerely hope you are able to give a listen to almost three days of information and were able to bring that experience back to your athletes.
