Stop telling your athletes to “take a bigger step” on their lunges or “move your front foot out farther” on their Bulgarian split squats or regular split squats. UNLESS you know what the purpose of each stance is - . if your reasoning for having a vertical chin on your split stance exercises is because anything else is “bad for your knees”. I will challenge you all day…

Today’s workout & motivation brought to you by . 💯 %

In training for your sport, playing a pickup game, or practice; you need to stop caring about whether you “win or lose”. You need to go into it with other objectives/goals. For example, if you are playing beach volleyball (I relate to this), maybe your goal is to try & hit all of the shots that you haven’t mastered, or getting your hands on every ball you set, whether you completely F*CK the whole thing up or not.

No need to tell anyone your objectives for the day, let them think you are playing at your highest level. Use every opportunity to compete with yourself to make yourself better.

When the time comes to actually play in a competition/match/game all the time you spent mastering the things that were your “weakest” points in silence, pays off. Master and love the process and the outcome will be there when it matters.

Now, I will also apply this to sport performance/training/fitness – the process is more important than the outcome. Spend your time training all of the things that are your “weakest links”. Enjoy the process and the outcome you want will all of a sudden be your reality because you focused on the journey not the destination. Spend the time on your progressions, STOP PILING ON THE WEIGHT WITH CRAP FORM. Focus on good form, progress the weight, & you’ll be able to eventually lift the weight with good form.

Adapting this mentality in my training, has helped my mental health/anxiety when it comes to” needing to play my best” while training &/or trying to lift a weight I use to be able to lift – instead using those non-competitive moments to compete with myself to be disciplined and challenge myself to make myself better in terms of a skill or form or correcting an imbalance.

I have set some SERIOUS goals for myself within the next few years, and a mentor let me in his training philosophy above and a couple days into it, I have already seen growth in not only my game, but my anxiety control, and all-around outlook at how I look at training.
PROCESS OVER OUTCOME.

Let’s talk “CORRECT vs. INCORRECT” in the world of Sports Performance/ Strength and Conditioning/ Fitness in general; there are so many conflicting opinions, so many coaches who will argue for hours over correct vs. incorrect on almost every aspect from form to programming to everything in between. This is where I interrupt with my input: This week’s topic – Squatting.
· Ass to the grass
· 90 Degrees
· Parallel
· To a Box
· Box Squat
· Powerlifting
· Olympic/Weightlifting
Which is right? Which is Wrong? Is there a place for all of the above? Is there a purpose that each of these serves? When and where are they most appropriate?

In a world of “let’s see who can do the craziest sh*t” with accessibility to post it and view it anywhere…I’m here to ground you & remind you that, you can’t go straight to level 10 skipping 1-9. And anyone who used the cheat codes didn’t get any of the knowledge, experience, or skills they would’ve if they had played the first 9 levels. Check out my newest and first blog post on getting Back to Basics 🙏🏼.
