The Unstoppable Dad Project

I had a question come through from a Dad asking me how can they get back on track with their training.  It got me thinking about some of the people I am lucky enough to coach, having been in this for a deacade Im lucky enough that I have a lot of people that I have seen stay on track long term, most of who have kids/jobs/businesses and very little time.  Have a listen as I go through 3 m...

Ive been struggling a bit the last few weeks, struggling emotionally. The world seems like a really dark place at the moment and it is for everyone.  I got upset when someone sent me through a response "I understand" the other week, so I took a look at why I got so upset over it.  It lead me down a path looking at how I deal with emotions and why that triggered me.  The fact is desp...

You dont HAVE to do it, you GET to do it.  A saying I seen somewhere a few months ago that I have been applying to actions in my life a lot lately.  Its a pretty shitty time for a lot of people right now, which can make some actions seem like a complete chore. Lifes a privelage, and we have the power to spend it how we want. Let me know what you think.  If you are on the Sunshine Co...

Balance, its something I think we all try and seek. Especially when it comes to our health, family or professional life.  Trying to find balance can cause a lot of anguish if you arnt happy with where your at.  Ive come to the conclusion that balance is a myth, happiness is achievable but finding true balance may not be. Let me know your thoughts, do you feel like youve been able to find...

Implementing change is hard. Times always an issue. Especially with a family making sure you maximise your time is probably one of the most important things you can do. How do we know we are getting closer to our goal, when you feel like your time poor and you are trying to implement a change whatever that may be, it can be easy to get caught up "feeling" like you arnt getting anywhere. Especially...

Stress, it can be crippling.  On one hand it can send us down in a spiral that its near impossible to get out of but on the other hand it can be needed to make sure we are improving and moving in a positive direction.  We need stress to progress, but we also want to make sure its manageable. Send through an questions or topics you would like covered off. If you are on the Sunshine Coast...

Training when short on time is hard, especially if you dont have any direction on what to do. For me strength training should be paramount. Now that can take a lot of different forms.  It doesnt have to be all barbell work and back squats, but you need to prioritise strength work that will help maintain or increase muscle mass regardless of your goals. This episode I go through why you need t...

To settle for where you are, give up, or grit it out. Now sometimes we need to walk away from a bad situation for our mental and physical health, other times when we feel like giving we need to grit it out and keep going. What example are we trying to set? I go through one question I ask myself when Im in these positions that has helped me to keep going in some of my hardest and darkest moments. K...

Time, you cant get it back and you cant physically make more of it. You can however be more efficient with your time which can seem like you are able to create more of it.

Sometimes its taking Yodas advice of "Do, or do not, there is no try." or maybe Shia needs...
