My heart is full!! The Barbells for Boobs event @Konza_Strength was a huge SUCCESS! I’m very grateful for the continued support from Konza Strength, the coaches and it’s amazing community of people! Thus far $1820 has been raised for this wonderful cause!
4 Things I Wish Every Athlete Knew:
1) Poor recovery catches up to you.
2) When you work to make every rep look as good as possible, you find amazing results & less injury.
3) Your back shouldn’t hurt after heavy deadlifts or squats.
4) Cortisone shots don’t fix anything.
Reasons NOT to wear a weightlifting belt:
-Back pain
-Your back feels weak
-You see an elite athlete wearing one
-You want to “look the part”
Reasons to wear a weightlifting belt:
-Improved stability at max weights
Unprecedented, historic corruption: an American president commutes the sentence of a person convicted by a jury of lying to shield that very president.
Bad Coach: tries to crush you & leave you exhausted & extremely sore after EVERY training session.
Good Coach: knows there are days to go hard & days to back off. Understands that light days are JUST AS important for progression in the long run.
Be the good coach...
A message from President Richard Myers:
The insensitive comments posted by one K-State student hurts our entire community. These divisive statements do not represent for the values of our university. We condemn racism and bigotry in all its forms.
The best coaches don’t just tell you what to do. They teach you WHY you’re doing it.
Being taught HOW to learn empowers an athlete to become their own coach, which benefits them for life.
The single most difficult episode I have recorded. If this does not create questions that demand answers, I do not know what will. I was part of the problem for a long time.
