Resilience is not just about bouncing back after challenging setbacks. It is also a daily practice: getting out of bed; showing up; and putting one foot in front of the other, moving in the direction of what matters.

After 3 weeks of teaching 3rd year PT students, there’s one glaring theme of the class so far.
They need more practice coaching people through exercises.
If you are a young aspiring PT, get out and coach people before you graduate, your future patients will thank you.

Andy Reid’s coaching tree…
10 head coaches were assistants under Reid first.
7 have lead teams to the playoffs.
4 have gotten to the conference championship
3 got to the super bowl
2 won it.
Mentorship may be the most impactful element of your professional pursuit.

Practice being a good person, and you’re more likely to become a good person.
Make a habit of being a selfish, egomaniacal asshat, and you’ll most likely succeed as well.
You get to choose how you react to circumstances, and who you’ll become.

I look forward to the day when things like coach health, work/life harmony, burnout, career security, equality of opportunity, safety, compensation, contracts, representation & retirement are as passionately & routinely discussed in S&C as squat depth, Olympic lifts & programming

Progress is born out of overcoming what is once uncomfortable.
Avoid what is uncomfortable and success will forever evade you.

If your gas tank was empty and you only had enough cash to fill 1/4 tank, you wouldn't keep it empty just because you couldn't fill it all the way.
Same goes for workouts.
If you can't do an hour, cool. Do 15 minutes.
Something is always better than nothing.

When you care for others, you manifest an inner strength despite any difficulties you face. Your own problems will seem less significant and bothersome to you. Reaching beyond your own problems and taking care of others, you gain confidence, courage and a greater sense of calm.

"We work hard, play hard" sounds terribly unhealthy. I think we would all be a lot healthier, happier and find greater balance in our lives if we learn to work smart and play always. #worksmartplayalways

Average players fail very rarely. Why? Because they go out of their way to avoid situations where failure is possible.
Dudes on the other hand, fail often, but get right back out there and do it again.
If you aren’t failing, you aren’t improving 💰. #failure

Trunk and pelvic position proceeds stabilizing the trunk.
Stabilizing the trunk proceeds trunk rotation.
Trunk rotation proceeds pelvic and trunk separation.
Aka- breath, control, rotate, separate

I will never take credit for a baseball players success. I will be flattered and humbled if they even mention my name. They are the ones processing information, moving, and mashing. THEY TOOK THE INFORMATION AND APPLIED. All credit to the player. I will gladly stay behind scenes. – at Damascus, MD

We've also noticed a reduction in the number of our athletes sustaining injuries who regularly use our kBox during their club and high school seasons!
Did you know that 7 of the 9 least injured teams in the NBA last season happen to be kBox users? 🏀

Talking to parents about speed training for the young athlete:
DO activities that involve running short distance at fast speeds...racing and chasing!
Don't do activities that involve running long and slow...jogging
