In the previous blogisode I discussed the mindset and independent choice that is required in overcoming adversity. The response and feedback that I received from that post was great so I know that I have my work cut out for me in trying to beat that one out. Now I’m going to have to RISE to the occasion, Dark Knight pun intended! :-)Anyways 3,2,1, and here we GO!
For today’s post I want to express a different tone and steer a little off the normal path in terms of getting my message across. Today’s post is about overcoming adversity. I sincerely hope that today’s post will leave you with a positive mindset and serve as a catalyst for you to overcome whatever adversity you may be facing in your life. Yeah, I know this isn’t quite the usual message, but it does fit into the context of strength and that can carry over into your day to day pursuit of fitness, as well as any other part of your life for that matter.
The Progression Of An Athlete/Fitness Junkie…
I’ve been getting several questions lately regarding my approach to training athletes. Several folks have been asking me “So Coach what do you do with a typical athlete from day one?” Well that’s a great question and I’m going to try to paint the picture for you right here in my latest blogisode! Keep on reading to find out.
So the other day I had a fairly new student come in to kick off a training session. He was curious as to what I had on the agenda for the day and deciding that it would be a good day to enhance some power conditioning I decided to break out the medicine balls! Once I got a set of soft throwing and hard bounce medicine balls ranging in weight from 10 to 16 lbs. (depending on the size of the student) I quickly started getting some funny looks from the relatively new student. It was a look that kind of said to me “what the hell are we going to do with these little medicine balls?” Well there was plenty to do and if you continue reading I’ll be glad to give you a peek at some of the options.
