Above, Thanksgiving Morning at The Edison, NJ Underground Strength Gym. No Apologies for Having High Expectations for These Athletes In Sports AND In Life. _________ Success is NOT an accident.

The MOST Important Muscle to ALWAYS Work [Jamie Foxx Life Lesson]
I'm always amazed at how people will avoid the work and endure the pain that comes from losing.... Losing in sports.... Losing in a business they own.... Losing at good health.... I've known business owners with their business about go go under, a family to support and have given them advice to succeed and they STILL come up with excuses.

Don’t Play The Age Card & My 40th Birthday Workout

Small Victories for Mental Toughness
"Just find an excuse to WIN." When I want to build my mental toughness a mere extra 1%, I don't view the big goal, I take it 1 small step at a time.

It all adds up and these small victories build upon themselves, building momentum and in turn, greater mental toughness. During a recent training session with 1 of … [Read more...]
