It's been a busy week, and I've got to admit, I'm definitely looking forward to a three-day weekend!

Before that, though, here are some quick and random thoughts.  Enjoy!

 

Muscle Imbalances Revealed

First and foremost, today is the last day you can get the Muscle Imbalances Revealed webinar series at the discounted rate.

To make this deal even sweeter, I was wrong about the price - it's actually only $77 if you purchase the webinars, and $97 if you get the CEU's and DVD's!

This is a pretty sweet deal, so make sure you pick up a copy today before the price gets jacked up!

2 Lessons on Success

Most professional Trainers, be them Fitness Gurus or Sports Performance Experts, may not ever take the time to realize that much of what we hold true and dear in our pursuits of enhancing both the health and ability of young athletes, also translates to the world of business and life as well.

Perhaps this lack of 'connecting-the-dots' between the two is more than just something that has been overlooked - it's because the values on which we pride our work with young athletes is far too limited in scope to be accurate.

Let me explain that.

Our industry holds strong to the notion that short-term, 'work 'em hard' training situations that involve high intensity on everything and a slow, methodical infusion of skill on nothing, is what best serves young clients in their need to get better (faster, stronger etc) now.

Obviously, being productive is something that's highly important to all of us. Here are some of the key things that have made me more productive day in and day out.

 

#1 - The BIG to do list

At the beginning of every week, I write down what I call the big to do list. These are all the things I would like to get done in any given week, along with some random thoughts that are a little bit more "big picture." The most important goal is to get everything out of your head and onto a...

Everyone here knows how big I am on continuing education.

But what's the biggest hurdle, or obstacle, that people run into when it comes to continuing ed?

Money.

And trust me guys, I get it.

When you physically attend a seminar, expect to shell out around $1,000 by the time you factor in registration, travel, lodging, food, and other miscellaneous expenses.  In fact, Bill and I are attending a seminar in September that will easily be closer to $2,000!

That doesn't mean that you shouldn't attend seminars, though - quite the contrary.  Continuing education is what separates the average trainers and coaches in our industry from the best.
