Olympic athletes train their whole life for the hope of being the best in their event. They train long hours and sacrifice living a normal life. They're certainly not training to just be average. On the contrary, they are training to be the best of the best. They're training with the dream and hope of one … Continue reading Nobody Trains to Be Average

Where Do We Go From Here?
Our BASIC-5 Challenge last month was a huge success in that all of us who participated (regardless of our final score) stretched ourselves in one area or another. It was only 5 basic-healthy habits for only 5 days, but it was not as easy as we had thought it would be. I want to share a few … Continue reading Where Do We Go From Here?

My Story
Admit it, we all love a good story and the juicier the better. We will lean in close every time, especially when it gets personal. But when it comes to sharing our story, we hesitate just a little.
