Here is something very kick ass the crew put together from Elite FTS.
Please read below....
EliteFTS athletes know that with the right mindset, even the toughest challenges can eventually be overcome. This takes both dedication and an iron will. Only you can make yourself give up. It’s about resisting the urge to surrender, showing how strong you are, sticking together with your team, and getting everything you can out of life.
Here’s an opportunity to show yourself – and the world – what you’re really made of. I’m asking you to support a cause that’s as tough and as meaningful as Team Elite. The Make-A-Wish Foundation® is a mighty force for good in this world, and it can benefit from an extra hand or two right now.
The Make-A-Wish Foundation® grants the one true wish of children diagnosed with life-threatening medical conditions (progressive, degenerative or malignant conditions that have placed their lives in jeopardy). They might wish to be a fireman for a day, or to visit a theme park or meet an athlete or a movie star. These are things that will enrich not only the lives of these children and their families, but often the entire community.
Elite Fitness Systems was founded and operates according to some core values that make us a particularly good match to help this wonderful organization. Many of these kids already share these same values we do, but most of them, medically speaking, are fighting impossible odds.
Some children, however, still need to develop the qualities that Team EliteFTS members have spent their lives striving to perfect – values like:
*Courage – the strength to take chances, to innovate and experiment, and to become a leader
*Empowerment – the development and achievement of a high level of self-esteem and self-actualization.
*Teamwork – the desire to work together as a group, creating an atmosphere in which everyone has a chance to contribute and achieve success
*Integrity – to live and work with trust, honesty, caring, fairness, and loyalty. These values are essential for individual growth.
*Attitude – to approach life and work with passion, a smile and a positive state of mind.
So, in the spirit of the season, I’m asking each of you to download the Team Elitefts Holiday Tips (e-Book) and see your donation of at least $10 or more go to the Make-A-Wish Foundation® of Greater Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana, Central Ohio Region. This gift can be made at EliteFTS.com through December 31.
Team Elitefts Holiday Tips (e-Book)
Don’t do this for me. Do it for the children. The Holiday Tips will give you 136 tips and 10 workout plans (and a circa-max raw bench program) from some of the world’s best-known athletes – all of whom are top personal trainers, coaches and strength experts. And I will personally see to it that all the net proceeds will go to the Make-A-Wish Foundation®.
So make your pledge and enjoy our latest e-book: it’s insightful, instructive and actually pretty entertaining.
