I am a disciplined husband, father and martial artist. That being said (to steal from coach Phil) I didn’t track my food over the weekend and we attended 3 birthday parties.. This morning I mentioned the word party and he shouted “no party “ 😂😂 I’m on track so far today (rest day) and will weigh in tomorrow

This week my battle was locking in a second job outside of coaching. This caused me to put a pause on a lot of life fluff; prioritize and focus, in addition to trying to continuously grow what I’m currently doing. - I am grateful to be offered a contract to work for 3 months in a hospital setting. Floating, working overflow, etc. I agreed they could put me wherever they need me most. This contract is local and will help me catch up on life. It will be night shift, which is beneficial so that I can train/coach before or after. It will also include re-certification of many of my certs that are due to expire this spring - My strength is that I love training/using my body to grow knowledge and be in the gym as much as possible. I try to use this to my advantage. Putting my body through new skills training with experts in their skill, sharing my knowledge in strength, conditioning, and sports nutrition - I am now going to be training a kid that has previous injuries from a bad car accident and is ready to get into strength training and practices jui jitsu. His mother is also a nurse so she could “speak nurse language” to me and is happy that I am in Phil’s mentorship program because the kid also practices jui jitsu. It sounds like his case will push me and my knowledge, so that I can help him be as active as he can as a kid. - I had been procrastinating on purchasing a mobility certification however as more people are coming to me with previous injuries this has re-inforced my need to get it done especially while I have the time prior to starting the contract - I had been using my car for extra income, putting on quite a bit of miles. I ultimately ended up with some troubles for the first time. I also now need 4 brand new tires. Although this is an extra cost I am grateful to have an up to par car to continue my grind This month I will continue to stay consistent putting in work. Know that everything happens for a reason and even in the bad moments there is a good that comes out of it

I am a disciplined husband, father and martial artist. Yesterday I tried pressing the 16kg bell at the end of the physio went up with no pain with my left arm Right arm coming soon

A nice way to start my 20 years of coaching and 2026 :) "The NSCA's Registered Strength and Conditioning Coach® Emeritus (RSCC*E) is a designation that signifies that a CSCS® certified coach has demonstrated experience and knowledge in their field for 20 or more years. RSCC*E coaches apply foundational knowledge to assess, motivate, educate, and train athletes for the primary goal of improving sport performance."

What I’m feeling / thinking: Feeling good and aligned with what needs to be done to support continued success in both business and family. Clarity of direction brings calm execution. What I’m focused on: Raising the quality of programming for my Junior MMA and Strength & Conditioning plans for pre-season in Rugby League and Rugby Union. Preparation now sets the standard for performance later. Obstacle and plan: The obstacle is finding consistent, quality training time for myself this week. The plan is to return to a structured training schedule and treat my own preparation with the same priority I give my athletes.
