"Your work is going to fill a large part of your Life" LET YOUR PURPOSE DRIVE YOU!

I began writing this post on March 19, 2011 and at that time my passion/purpose hadn't been revealed to me.Every day I wrestled with life wondering what I could make of mine and how I should occupy my time. One thing I didn't want was to be mistaken for something I wasn't but I couldn't figure out what drove me. The few things that seemed to make me happy were merely temporary fixes. Although I was filled with mounds and mounds of JOY  I had not reached my peak, the place where I could take a deep sigh and say "YES I DID IT" That place where I could feel like i wasn't going to a job everyday but doing what i loved, living out my passion. Steve Jobs said: 
                   "Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied                       is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don't settle."
That never hit home until New Years Eve 2011 when I was sitting at home watching T.D. Jakes and he spoke about finding your purpose and letting it drive you. The best way to find out what's your purpose is to follow the burning desire(passion) of your heart and it will direct your to your purpose. Your life as a whole will drastically change for the better because you are simply doing the things you absolutely LOVE to do and in return your quality of work will also be better.  I've come to understand that much better over these last 2 years, now i'm doing what i love to do and it doesn't feel like i'm working at all because i'm loving every minute of it changing lives and lifestyle in the process. WALK INTO YOUR DESTINY LET YOUR PURPOSE DRIVE YOU!!!

Success is always rooted in the fundamentals

Train To Perform "Successful performance is always rooted in the fundamentals" ​ ​ Sports performance training can be misunderstood at times, most protocols are to develop the athlete to be big and strong primarily but there's so much more that goes into developing an athlete. Of course all coaches would love to have the prototype athlete, (big an d strong)  but with all the intangibles.  Fast  with great range of motion, strong with great endurance , Agile with great stability etc.   In order to develop an athlete in this manner it all comes down to  the type of program installed. On every level of sports it  is pivotal for the athlete to  understand the  fundamentals of movements and how those movements translates to higher performance levels.   Success is always rooted in the fundamentals, the quality over quality  approach quantity wins   every time.  Training with optimum posture and proper exercise /movement  technique is essential for maximizing muscle recru

Exercise explanations and demonstrations.

Exercise explanation and demonstration. There is a distinct teaching component of active coaching, but the focus is on helping the athlete connect the WHY with the WHAT. Why am I doing this and what impact will it have on my sport.The exercise explanation and demonstration involves an exchange of information related to the aim of the exercise, how it is to be executed, points of reference and cues as well as outlining the expected criteria for successful performance. When demos are executed valuable cues are highlighted, linked to previous exercise experiences and related to sports skills directly. Athletes tend to be more kinesthetically aware of their skill and sport movements and so they can provide to the coach and begin to better understand how to use their kinetic chain to produce more power, balance, control and fluid movement in their sport.

Movement Prep (Preparing the athlete to move)

Movement Preparation (Preparing the athlete to move) During Movement Prep the goal is to increase core body temperature, address key mobility and stability demands, and activate the nervous system. It should be done so using movements and speeds specific to the program for the day. Moving from an isolation focus to an movement integration focus, movements will begin simple and slowly move towards more complex patterns at a higher rate of speed. This  safely prepares the body physically and mentally for the training followed.  1.( GLUTE Activation)  I start by activating the glutes using mini-bands around the knees and/or the ankles. The client will perform one round of movements with the legs completely extended and one round of movements in an athletic base where they are flexed at the hip, knee and ankle. Movements will be linearly and/or laterally focused based on the training session that follows 2. (Dynamic Stretches)  Glute activation will be followed by specific dynamic s
