Its been an absolute pleasure working with Lenora over the past few months. She was already working out at home and running marathons, but wanted expert coaching and critique on her form.

She's a beast already, and I was happy to teach her a few more things to add to her regiment (including some new PRs).

To those who are looking for inspiration, my advice is to just start and stay consistent. Need help on where to begin, feel free to DM us!

I wanted to take the time to reflect on the holiday weekend. Memorial Day is more than backyard bbq and the kickoff to the summer. Its about paying homage to those who have given the ultimate sacrifice in service to the country.

As a combat veteran, I've see the cost of freedom first hand. What saddens me the most is that some of my fellow Brothers in Arms didn't pass in Iraq or Afghanistan, but right here at home. Drugs, alcohol, and combat PTSD hit harder than most small arms fire for some of my Battle Buddies.

In conjunction with Memorial Day is Mental Health Awarness month. Mental health awareness is more than just getting therapy...its about quiting the mind and spirit from the choas and anxiety in our soul.

For those veteran who are struggling with the things from their past or even their future, just know my line is always open to talk.

Rest in power

The Edmonds Health and Fitness Expo was once again a fun time! The weather held up for us, and we got to go out and be a presence in the community, coach some younger kids, throw some stuff around, lead the warm ups for the Fun Run, and even play some pigskin with the kids.

Thank you again for reminding us to smile, have fun, and just move your body!

Special thanks to .ann.253 and our new intern Kamren!

Honestly, this is why I love what we do. When parents see the value of training, young athletes come in with the right attitude, work hard at their craft, the results show. It's not a D1 championship or a professional team MVPA award, but this is where it begins. Building confidence through consistency. direct quote:

"Gold bracket winners!! Went 2 extra innings, Ry pitched the whole game minus 4 batters at the beginning. She had 2 amazing hits, 1 that brought in the tieing run and had the backhand stop and throw to 1 to get the ending out.

Ry had an incredible weekend, pitching, hitting and fielding. Hard work paying off!!"

I'm getting pretty good at these acceptance speeches.

Tonight I accepted the award for the Client of the Year with the Veterans Business Outreach Center (VBOC). I was asked by several people in attendance what my next steps and plans are. They asked me if I wanted to open multiple locations and my answer was pretty definitive.

In my speech I talk about wanting to change my small area in my community and let that be the ripple effect to changes the bigger, greater world. Consistency and resilience have kept me in the game this long and my hope and praying is the thing that it keeps me going for a little while longer.

Thank you to Business Impact NW as well as the Veteran Business Outreach Center for the amazing opportunity to be recognized.

And just like that, the 2026 Washington State Clinic comes to a close!

500 miles, 9 hours of learning and networking, million bugs on my windshield, and nearly becoming a scary movie by running out of gas in BFE all well worth the adventure.

I never thought I would be caught dead at a WSU baseball game, but we got a nice treat and was able to connect on a personal level with some of the best strength and conditioning coaches in the game! And that was just the pre funk to a day full of learning.

First and foremost, I want to shout out our incredible NSCA Washington State Advisory Board for months of planning and preparation. These clinics have a lot of moving parts, but my team was all over it and even anticipated things before even being asked to help!

A second HUGE shout out to our sponsors at OptiFit, VALD, and Human Kinetics for their support and contributions.

From the Sunrise Lift at 6am, to the student posters, to lectures and practical applications presentatios, this clinic felt like a mini National Conference. As much as it somewhat pains me to say, WSU you did not disappoint!

Thank you all for attending, learning, and fellowshiping with me. Till 2027...

The ability to produce force against a load over a certain amount of time is the and how far that object travels is the simplified definition of power.

I read something the other day about being strong in our older years. While strength is important, the ability to generate enough force to accelerate or decelerate ssid force is equally if not more important for older individuals of all ages. For older ones, this may help prevent falls and react to stimuli.

Many of our older athletes at Sound Sports Performance and Training are still very active. Working in their gardens, carrying laundry baskets up and down stairs, and even still participating in recreational sports.

Just because we age, doesn't mean we stop. Get your grandparents in for some training to reclaim or keep their independence!
