The MindFit Method

As parents, teachers, coaches, and every adult on planet earth, we do something every day whether we like it or now.  We age.  Our mind ages, or body ages, and our heart ages.  But you DO NOT have to age as fast as the human body usually does.  In fact, you can actually reverse the aging that has already happened!  Check out this week's episode on aging but still kicking s...

CoVid, Remote Learning, Controversial Curriculum, Politics, and a diminished value perception have made the last 3 years in the education industry (public, private, and higher ed) ROUGH!  That being said, put your seat belt on because none of that will be nearly as disruptive as what Artificial Intelligence like ChatGPT is going to be over the next 1-10 years!  The impact will be like no...

Motivation is like that really cool friend that is so fun to hang out with...when they actually show up.  Motivation could have the nickname "Captain NOTdependable."  While you can't depend on motivation to reach your goals, there are several things that you CAN do to move forward with consistent strides!

Are you in control of your world, or is your world controlling you?  In this episode we deep dive into taking action, inperfect action, to move forward!  Every single day, week, month or year is a clean slate, so own it and write your own narrative!

Well...2022 is just about a wrap! Unfortunately this time of year we often get bombarded with "new" and "the best" information/knowledge to reach our goals, achieve our dreams and finally live the life we want!  Except this "knowledge overload" often leads to paralysis and we don't implement any of the things that we learn!  Check out this episode to learn how to manage that knowledge ov...

New Year's Resolutions are coming!  While I don't believe in them, if you are going to set a new direction in your life regarding exercise and fitness, I am going to challenge you to take on a different mindset this year and make it about purpose, not goals!

Many people believe that living a healthy lifestyle is expensive. While there is a cost of time (exercise and prepping meals) that cost is nothing compared to what it costs today when you are sick!

Recently, I was listening to a talk being done by Simon Sinek, (the bestselling author of "Start With Why") and he told the amazing story of two lumberjacks.  It resonated with me so much that I wanted to share it with you and discuss how the message in the story can be implemented in your life!

It is so easy to get distracted and unmotivated when it comes to putting in the work to reach our goals.  This is a really cool hack that you can use to reach your goals even when you fail every single day!

Most parents I know say that they want their children to be happy and healthy when they grow up.  But it is human nature to imitate those around us. Are we as parents modeling the life that we wish for our children to have?  There are so many things that we can do, even as parents with busy lives, to make sure that we are happy and healthy too!

Exercise and healthy living has always come with an opportunity cost.  Or does it?  Does the time and effort required to be healthy pale in comparison to a much bigger cost?  This episode explores how you can compound the effects of exercise with your "productivity hour" to make drastic changes to other parts of your life!

Every parent I know may hope that their child is getting good grades in school, but does it really mean anything? In this episode I discuss several studies that have been done regarding the indicators of a child's future success.  (And the answers may surprise you!)

Physical education has been around since 386 BC!  Although we aren't necessarily preparing children to be warriors today like they were back then, the goal is still to help children become healthier and fitter.  Due to changes in our society, especially in the worlds of activity and nutrition, Physical Education is more important than ever!  But to meet those needs, we have to reima...

Even though many avoid vulnerability, it has an incredible effect that I never imagined!  It took me nearly a year to understand how cultivating vulnerability in MindFit created an environment that was conducive to teamwork, creativity and innovation!

The conclusion from last week's episode on the powerful effect that our own personal responsibility has on our children's lives.  

Personal responsibility is something that we often expect from others, but don't always hold ourselves accountable for.  In this episode I share my story of falling off the fitness and health wagon, and how my road back had some unexpected but amazing outcomes!  Hint...our children are always watching, modeling (and judging!) us as parents, coaches, teachers and more!  

This episode is about the story of Jake. Jake is an incredible fit-gineer who had an epic failure that I almost didn't let happen! It's not only important to let kids fail, but it's also important for certain things to be allowed to happen after the failure!
