"If you're not mentally and emotionally willing to follow the plan of action, even the 'best' plan of action will fail to work." People remark from time to time that many of my posts are mind-body related . . . and they wonder why I have a tendency to focus on emotions and psychology. It's a good question, especially in light of the time and travel I devote to study and application in kinetic chain theory, East & West health philosophies, nutrition, body work, strength and conditioning … [Read more...]

That method will give me what I want . . . . . . and the list goes on, and on, and … [Read more...]
How many times have you started a 'new' diet or a new training program or a new year with high expectations and aspirations . . . only to find yourself struggling (or giving up) before you've reached your goal? What keeps you from reaching your highest potential? What will enable and empower you to reach it?
