After playing in the NFL CT decided to take his drive for success to the gym floor and never looked back. Peop...

I am all about the present. I meditate, masterbate and vasodilate in the present! BUT! Sometimes you can help your future self by revisiting POSITIVE moments from your past. They say anxiety occurs when you focus on things you cant change in your past or obsess about what may happen in the future. Neither of which you have any control over! BUT you can enhance your present and future by pulling so...

In this episode I share some stories about athletes, artists, musicians, comedians and colleagues who have chased their DreamBIGs and succeeded. They did it their way. Coloured outside the lines, threw away the paper and then started to draw their own lines. I also share stories of those who failed and why! Of course there are also some off colour jokes, a few rants and a couple detours along the...

Mike will cringe when he reads this but the fact is, he is a mentor of mine and has been a huge influence on the strength coach and Perform Better presenter I have become today! I will never forget the day I was introduced to his book Functional Training for Sports. It defined a generation of strength coaches and personal trainers who saw their clients as athletes and adapted their training techni...

Slow it down, speed it up, change direction, add complexity, add resistance, over speed, increase neural load and then do it again! If you want to refine athleticism you need to challenge yourself in as many ways as possible. Do it in the gym and see the results on the field of battle. I always say that you get the best learning or adaptation when you are on the brink of failure. Not muscle failur...

You and your significant other are fighting all the time over money, business or the kids and feel like a horrible partner and parent.

This episode is like your plate at a buffet. You have pasta, rice , potatoes, lasagne and sushi with a slice of watermelon. None of these things go together but somehow you enjoy every minute of it. I just finished my @performbetter Summit presentation and fielded 79 questions in 40 minutes. Some of them needed more attention and given the old #YOJAY treatment. So here it is!

At the end of the day we all just want to be heard. Through our voice, work or actions. We want to be heard. But what if the Herd is creating too much noise and your message isn't getting to your audience? Im not talking about social media (although it still applies) I am talking about being heard by the ones you are trying to inspire, motivate, help or serve. The problem is that even if you were...

"Live in the present. The Power of Now." We all know we need to live in the NOW but many of you or your clients are allowing the past to dictate the actions of the future self. I have worked with countless athletes who under perform due to past failures they carry with them to every event, practice or training session. The past becomes a self doubt barrier that keeps them from having true belief i...

Fat Face Rick, "He Ain't Weak, Thats The Starting Point!" That line in the Wire changed the way I approached coaching from that day forward. It all made sense when my young student Cliff sat up and looked me right in the eye and said, "It's this gym Coach! It's changed my life! I have taken the lessons I learnt with you here into all aspects of my life! At school, if the teacher wants us to read o...

Thank you to all of you who have filled my inbox with "#YOJAY Have you seen @brysondechambeau ? Wow! He put on 40lbs and 20yards on his driver! What do you think?" Yes I have seen him. Yes I have been following and yes I have an opinion. The important thing for you to know is the science behind training for size and speed and whether it is right for you! In this week's episode we do exactly that....

The great philosopher Kool Moe D once said,"I go to work like a doctahhh!" In these times of uncertainty and change the one thing that has kept me sane is work. I know that sounds counter intuitive to many people who are out of work, working from home, changing professions or working under new conditions that won't allow you to work like you use to. I have found that work gives you purpose. Before...

I am done with Zoom calls and poorly made Instagram content. Its time for everyone to step it up and get your shit together! I know you aren't going to take the time to watch a "How To Zoom" video made by someone who is more boring than reading the Zoom manual. So I created this episode on how to Zoom like a BOSS and create online content like Instagram Live that will grow your brand instead of si...

Thank you to everyone who sent in #YOJAYs over the past 2 months. I saw a theme building in everyone's personal stories and questions and felt it was time to put it on wax! I always say that if the same questions keep coming up there are probably 1000's of others wondering the same thing! In this episode I flush out the topic of how we all need to navigate the "New Norm" and give specific advice t...

Slings are groups of muscles that work together to create movement, resist movement and assist in controlling the movement created by other slings. It is important as fitness professionals to understand how they work so you can assess their function and correct faulty or compensatory movements created by dysfunctional sling activation. We also need to be able to train the sling systems to maximize...
