Coach Ethan Reeve told me how he would never stop a kid from doing extra work if they wanted to. The last thing you want to tell a kid who wants to keep working hard is, "Slow down Johnny, take it easy." Hey, if someone wants to work harder and wants that edge, let them go for it. At The USC Gymnasium, we've got a young Football Player / Wrestler who ALWAYS does extra work on his own at the end of the workout. He loves to get a 100 lb sandbag on his back. He carries it around the … [Read more...]

Breakfast before the Storm
My Breakfast before the Storm: 4 whole eggs 4 egg shites 2 bananas 2 clementines 1 cup of coffee I tend to alternate coffee and green tea through several week cycles.

And this did … [Read more...]
