July was a busy month. A couple of my clients were curious about what I eat, and what I actually do all day. (Click on those links to read more.)
I also attended the 2021 IDEA World Fitness Virtual Conference, and the Los Angeles Dodgers Strength & Conditioning Symposium Series (virtual as well). I attend these to get the latest science-based training information which I apply to my own training as well as sharing with my clients.
I’ll write more about these conferences, but I’ll share an important thought here.
The Dodgers use what they call a “spiderweb assessment”. As you can imagine, the Dodgers have a huge budget to assess and implement their training programs with their athletes. When the Dodgers sign a player to the organization they are run through many tests. Looking at the psychology, nutrition, injuries, strengths, and weaknesses. All of these assessments are combined on a “spreadsheet”. Then the various departments, such as physical therapists, performance specialists, nutritionists, etc. all work together to create “resilient and robust athletes. They work to create the best athlete, not the best gym rat.”
This relates to how I train my “athletes”. My goal in helping you is to build a stronger you…in and out of the gym. Yes, I want you to achieve your fat loss/strength goals, but I always keep in mind that I want it to apply to real life. I want you to be stronger and more durable to life’s challenges and stresses.
The Dodgers invest heavily in their players, in hopes to get the most healthy and productive output from their investments. We may not have the same fortune to invest in ourselves, but I encourage you to invest what you can. Eat the highest quality foods, devote time to effective training programs, and get the proper sleep and recovery. Be honest. How much time and money do you invest in yourself? Write down and analyze where your time and money are going. Are you spending money on junk food and sugary Starbucks drinks? And time? Are you spending hours on the couch looking at Netflix or Facebook? Our time is finite. Spend it wisely.
