Under Construction
Everyone -
The site may be a little wonky the next couple of
days, as we're in the process of making some major upgrades.
I'm hoping we'll be back up and running 100% by Friday, with all the
changes in place. Until then, maybe take some time to check out the Article archives, or even one of my Podcasts.
I think
you're going to really enjoy the updates, so stay tuned!
All
the best

2010 Midwest Performance Enhancement Seminar
Pat Rigsby is the man.
A few weeks ago, I got news that the
NSCA had approved our 2010 Midwest Performance Enhancement seminar for .5
CEU's, instead of the .6 that we had originally requested. Their reason was
this - that they offered CEU's for training courses, not business
courses.
Now I'm not here to start a war with the NSCA - their
policy is their policy.
But Pat didn't like it, and as a
result, anyone who signs up for our seminar prior to the 7/24/2010
early-bird cut-off is in for a sweet deal.
Here's a
snippet from an e-mail Pat sent out to his list last week. Read

The day
before the event I'm going to hold a fr.ee Fitness Business A-Z Workshop
for all the attendees that register by Mike's early bird deadline.
I figure that if someone...

Is it the program? Or the coaching?
In my estimation,
it's a 50-50 split. But let's flesh this out a little bit.
A little over a year ago, I ran this piece depicting the success of one of my online
training clients.
Needless to say, I think Eric has a
tendency to overstate my skills and abilities. I'm always quick to
throw credit back to the trainee or athlete, as they're the one doing the
heavy lifting.
Fast forward a year, and Eric is now an intern
at our facility. Yesterday, he thanked me for the new program that I
had written, as he felt like this was the most dialed-in program I had ever
written for him.
And that got me thinking - I don't think this
particular program is any more special or different than any of the
others.

Fluid and Quality Movement
Several weeks ago, I wrote a blog titled "The Concept of
Movement Quality." There, I touched on a basic premise - it's not
just about moving more; it's about moving better.
This past
weekend during our Bootcamp Bootcamp Q&A, several of us were discussing
the topic even further. It reminded me of a quote I heard from Dr. Ed
Thomas in the Kalos Sthenos DVD's this past week:
"The
better your movement looks to others, the worse it looks to
yourself."
Now I'm paraphrasing a bit here, but think
about that - Is that a brilliant quote or what?
The better your
squat looks to others, the worse it looks to you.
The better
your TGU looks to a layperson, the more things you realize you need to work
on.
But it's that critical evaluation of our own movement that
makes us...
