5 Lessons to Teach Young Athletes

on July 16, 2013 | by Mike Robertson

The past couple of weeks have been a whirlwind, as I’ve been on the floor a bunch and coaching some really fun athletes. As a result, I’ve also been reflecting on some of the lessons I’ve tried to teach my young athletes along the way. Each and every kid is a little bit different, and […]

RTS 2013 Manifesto

on May 29, 2013 | by Mike Robertson

Welcome to the new and improved Robertson Training Systems (RTS). I’ve been meaning to write this for a few weeks now, but unfortunately, things have been truly hectic and this is the first time I’ve been able to sit down and put pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard!). One of my most popular posts […]

What Are YOUR 5 Things?

on February 1, 2013 | by Mike Robertson

I learn from everyone. In any given week I’m doing continuing education in the fields of training, business, marketing, personal development, and leadership. And as you may (or may not) know, tomorrow is my beautiful daughter’s second birthday. Look – I know you come to RTS so I can tell you how to get more […]

I Hate Corrective Exercise

on January 21, 2013 | by Mike Robertson

You heard it here first… …Mike Robertson hates corrective exercise. Okay, maybe that’s a slight embellishment – but I do hate the term “corrective exercise.” Allow me to take you on a brief tour down memory lane, and then we’ll take about where RTS is going in the coming months and years.

Yo Mike! Edition 1

on January 8, 2013 | by Mike Robertson

Yo Mike! What’s up man – you haven’t been blogging/Facebooking/Tweeting much lately. What gives??? First and foremost, thanks for the concern 😉 Needless to say, the past couple of months have been really busy, and yes, I haven’t been as “visible” lately. Part of this is due to a laser-like focus on priorities, and part […]

The Top 10 RTS Posts of 2012

on December 28, 2012 | by Mike Robertson

I love the end of the year. Sure, sometimes I feel older than I should (I’m pretty sure that’s part of the aging process), but I also love looking back and seeing everything I’ve accomplished. With regards to my blog, I enjoy going back and seeing what posts were most popular, as it helps me […]

Stress: The Real Epidemic

on September 28, 2012 | by Mike Robertson

The following is a guest blog from my good friend Dan Brown. Enjoy! – MR ————— I was doing some research on energy systems and was looking at differences between animals and humans (yawn). With a few clicks of the mouse the next thing you know I was watching a gazelle being devoured by a […]

Sacrifice and Hard Work in the Fitness Industry

on September 21, 2012 | by Mike Robertson

Let’s be honest – the fitness industry isn’t for the faint of heart. As a trainer or strength coach, it’s not uncommon to work ungodly hours for what amounts to less than minimum wage. On the other hand, I think some people assume that those who are “successful” (however you want to define that) have […]

Mike’s Top 12 Training Resources

on July 16, 2012 | by Mike Robertson

One thing that really pisses me off about our industry is some of the ridiculous “number” posts you see. For example, a few months back I saw a post that was something along the lines of “The Top 50 Fitness Bloggers” or something alone those lines. I won’t claim to be the all-knowing, but I […]

Who Does MR Train?

on February 27, 2012 | by Mike Robertson

Last week about this time, I was having coffee with a good friend and former IFAST intern Eric Oetter. Eric is one of the most driven and curious individuals I’ve ever met, so it’s always great to have a chat and see where his head is at. Since we don’t get to catch up as […]

Happy Birthday Kendall!

on February 2, 2012 | by Mike Robertson

One year ago today, my wife Jessica and I were blessed when our little girl, Kendall Ann, was born. This was obviously a life changing event. This little girl is just so amazing and someone I care so much about. And I can tell you, I’ve changed quite a bit as a result. Things that […]
