Never fear the competition
Here’s Real-life Lesson #10,716 that I’ve taught football players for 40 years and college law enforcement students for 2 decades – never fear the competition. The competition looks tough, sounds tough, acts tough but the competition is governed by the 10-90 Rule – sound like fun until it has to get done. Over 90% will never stick it out fully. Over 90% will never invest the reps, ...February 25, 2019

The #1 force that holds you back
The #1 force that holds you back is not the competition, it’s not the weight on the bar, it’s not what happened yesterday, it’s not what didn’t happen the day before, it’s not what you’re waiting for, it’s not what someone said, it’s not what someone didn’t say, it’s not getting what you didn’t deserve, or not getting what you ...February 8, 2019
STFU + GTFU
If your mind runs away from you, your body follows. Every day is a fight to keep your mind from running away on you. Someone says something. Someone does something. Something happens when its shouldn’t. Nothing happens when it should. Then you choose – fight or flight. You choose to be a #streetfigther or be a #runner. The choice depends on what you let you mind do to you – ...February 7, 2019

Settle for less, win less: NFL playoffs.
Last night, I was working out at the gym I own, X Fitness. Doing chest-shoulders-back with my Women’s Lifting Team in #TheBasement of X Fitness. Not just an ordinary workout, an Outlier Workout. A gym member asked me if I watched the Chicago Bears-Philadelphia Eagles playoff game that was on TV on the main floor of X Fitness. People assume I watch football on TV at X Fitness because I coached ...November 25, 2018
