The Blink Moment

on January 28, 2010 | by

Tuesday night at IFAST, one of our new interns (Ellen) and I were discussing how to start improving her coaching and assessing skills. She’s relatively new to the field, but with her eagerness to learn, work ethic, and people skills, I have no doubt she’s going to be a fantastic coach someday. Many would say […]

The Law of Repeated Exposures

on January 25, 2010 | by

This past week, I had a ton of workouts to write. Not only were IFAST members ready for new programs, but I also got the first batch written for my Haiti online training clients. As I was writing them, I got to thinking about how my programming has changed over the years. Coming from a […]

Red Pill Blue Pill

on December 21, 2009 | by

As I noted in my blog this past Saturday, last week Mike the Intern finished up his internship at IFAST. I think he’s well on his way to becoming a fantastic coach, and I sincerely hope his time at our gym was beneficial for him. Since we get a ton of questions about our internship […]

Renewed Motivation

on December 15, 2009 | by

I love Brian Grasso. Now before you get all carried away with that statement, let me clarify a bit. Every time I sit down with BG, he puts a thought in my head. The unfortunate problem is, it’s almost impossible to get rid of this thought, no matter how hard I try! At this past […]

An IFAST Testimonial

While revising the IFAST Website this weekend, I got an amazing testimonial from one of our former clients, Aaron Cunanan. Rather than mince his words, I’ll just give you the testimonial. I moved back to the Indianapolis area in January 2009. I was in between jobs and had a lot of free time on my […]

Better Stability for a Bigger Vertical Jump

on September 23, 2009 | by

“Stability maximizes activation.” This was a quote from Bret Contreras following an article he had posted on T-Muscle last week. While I didn’t agree with the article entirely, this quote really stood out. There’s a delicate balance between the strength in the prime movers of a joint, and the strength of the underlying stabilizing muscles. […]

Of Dirty Dishes and IFAST Clients

on September 21, 2009 | by

Another amazing testimonial

on May 28, 2009 | by

Prior to visiting Mike Robertson and Bill Hartman at their I-FAST facility, I’d been at the mercy of chronic pain for the last four years of my life.
