Your job isn’t to make the critics happy. They’ll always find something to be unhappy about.

Your job is to care for your team and help them move forward.

Leaders lead.

Everyday Mindset!

[Josh R. @trainermanjosh]

Let’s get EVERYBODY in the gym! Let’s create a culture that places the highest values on physical and mental health. Let’s show young people the power they have to create change in themselves. Let’s make being healthy more than not getting sick. Let’s change the narrative. Go.

No word on gyms being allowed to open. Dance studio next door has been running full speed for weeks. 20 kids, dancing, in a space 1/4 the size of our gym. We are a small studio, will follow any rules necessary, but give us a chance to survive! (or pay our rent) @NYGovCuomo

SAID Principal: Specific Adaptation to Imposed Demand.
Or:
If you want be good a something, do that thing.
Example:
Long slow runs make you good at running long and slow.
Question: if you don’t want to be a slow runner, why are you practicing to be one?

3 weeks back lifting at Pursuit Performance and it finally came together. No records broken, but progress was made. Physically wrecked, mentally charged up, perfect workout. These days are rare. Gotta savor.

More keyboard coaches than ever these days, it’s not a good trend.

[Josh R. @trainermanjosh]

A developing idea: the best coaches push their athletes, and the best athletes push their coaches. Neither is a comfortable experience, but obedience and excellence are rarely found together.

Sunday’s are my only day off, and I always spend the last few hours excited to work on Monday. This reassures me I’m in the right profession.

[Josh R. @trainermanjosh]

Cynicism is not a sign of intelligence or experience, it’s the attitude of the defeated, and there’s nothing a loser loves more than tearing down a winner. The next time someone tells you to “be realistic”, consider the source.

[Josh R. @trainermanjosh]

Yo. Stop bashing “kids these days”. Every day I’m with “kids” working incredibly hard for an incredibly uncertain future. Are they inexperienced? Sure, they’re young, so that’s a given. Start expecting greatness from the next generation, and you’ll see it.

[Josh R. @trainermanjosh]

Getting up early has yet hurt anyone, intense training in intense heat actually does cause harm and slow progress. Athletes (and coaches) looking to progress in extreme temps need to wake up and work. #noexcuses

@toniwhited Playing dumb works well in many life situations (although it probably comes more naturally to some of us)

There’s food that’s taste really good, and there’s food makes you feel really good. -Thoughts from IHOP.

[Josh R. @trainermanjosh]

Comfort and happiness are very different things.

[Josh R. @trainermanjosh]

Too many trainers looking to redecorate the house when they need to be fixing the cracks in the foundation. Substance over style. #runner #personaltrainer #coach
