Honestly, I am not quite sure where to begin….
So I will get right to it..
Sunday night I noticed an update on an ex-client and good friends Facebook Wall. He plays D3 volleyball.
It read: “I Quit” is one sentence that isn’t in my vocabulary…..this weekend will haunt me for a long time”
As a friend, this concerned me. So I emailed him to see if all is OK and if he needs to chat he can get in touch with me.
He IM’d (instant messaged) me immediately.
The choices we make
By · CommentsChoices when it comes to preparing practices..
This past weekend we Mike Roussell come in and speak at our gym
and one thing he said made me think of ALL the coaches I work with
and who are on my email list.
It is as follows:
'When you make a choice to do one thing, you are making a choice NOT to do another'.
Hmmmmm....
OK….Can I just start off by saying I am VERY PISSED off right now!?
Why?
WE have been failed yet one more time by our ‘doctors’ and ‘gym teachers’.
How?
First, the doctors..
My client showed me her food journal this morning after I requested to see it after the last session. I was completely shocked! ‘What the heck you’re not freaking eating!’ I said…she yelled back, ‘yes, I am and THEY said I am eating too much’. (yes, we yell at each other 
)
Who is ‘they’ I ask. ‘My doctors’..hmmmmmmm….
Why did I say this is a ‘MUST READ’?

OK…
The reason I am posting this is because there are so many Farmville FANATICS out there. Honestly, I have no clue what all the talk or the game is about..zip, zippo..notta!
As I was talking with my friend last night he was going on and on about how his girlfriend is, in his own words, ‘Kicking BUTT in Farmville’..
I was like..’WHOO WHOOOO!’..lol
But he kept insisting it is addicting and FUN..Still no clue from me. I do not download any apps from Facebook.

Barry Lovelace - Strength Training for Baseball
What an AWESOME day with a bunch of fabulous girls..ATHLETES filming my next athlete training video for softball players.
They gave it their all in the pouring rain and cold. Good stuff!
So yes, it rained for the last workout and part way through the second..PLUS it was cold. Marc from Softball Performance toughed it out as well as Dalton Ruer, the very generous dude who was brave enough to let us stay at his house and be shown in public with us for 4 days

What NOT to do to reach those New Years Resolution goals
By · CommentsIt is January and what is heard around the world is talk of ‘losing weight’ and ‘going to work out again’. Many of these goal setters will quit after just a few short weeks, or never make it to the gym or to their basement in an effort to reach their goals.
There are many reasons why they will fail. Ridiculous advertisements promising unrealistic results is at the top of the list as well as an old philosophy that one has to workout 2 hours a day and eat less to reach their goals.
For all the resolution seekers out there it is time to take a deep breath, relax and know that you can achieve your goals by following these three simple tips.
Happy Holidays and a little thought….
