Why you SHOULD Sweat your Assets
6pm – And it felt like the sun was just clocking in on this blistering Late-July evening, the crowd began to swell, a few thousand gathered for an annual charity run at Long Islands Jones Beach. 5K (or 3.2 miles) was the task at foot (Hah! Get it, Ya Get it). It’s one of those […]
Building Momentum – Two Minutes at a Time
“Are they Bigger than Us?” “Yes” “Are they Stronger than Us?” “You bet Ya” “Are they Tougher?” “I dont know, they’re pretty tough, We’re pretty tough….It’s Close” “But….Will they work harder than us”? “That’s up to you, and that’s what matters” “We’ve go sixty minutes, that’s it. A lot is going to happen, momentum can […]
The Wall is Never to High to Climb
What a day it was, a cool 92° on a moist July evening. With every step another drop of that homemade, custom, salty water traveled down the side of my cheek to its final destination, the New York City pavement. I would have wiped it off but my hands were busy at the moment, […]
Yeah, I’ll Take Some Health Over Here
This past week I went somewhere I haven’t been in a while, some call it Americas favorite pastime, I call it a game of catch. My lacrosse bias is clearly not shy, but I have to admit it was pretty cool going to the Ol’ ballgame, not necessarily because of the game itself but more […]
All Aboard – Next Stop, Your Mouth
Remember sitting high, eye level with that magical spoon of mushy goodness, hearing “Chooo Chooo…Open up, Here comes the Train”. Remember embracing the journey with unmeasurable content or sealing those lips in pure horrid. I don’t, but I can guarantee it happened, so many times in fact, that it’s probably better off that I forgot. […]
The Waves Keep Coming – What Will your Story Be?
It was wet, air heavy, mist pronounced, as if it were a distinguished guest upon opening the truck doors. That first deep breath was only a warmup for what was to come. A jacket, Hah! Not gonna need it where we’re going. The hollow ding of metal-on-metal led our eyes to the flag perched high, […]
YOUR HEALTH = YOUR BUSINESS
What are you thinking about right now? Wondering if this read is going to be a load of garbage, or an invigorating nine minutes that change your views of the next 50 years? I bet your not thinking about breathing, hearing, or digesting that apple you just ate (I’m giving you the benefit of the […]
The “Palms Down” Rule
Final minute, the offense settles and begins whipping the ball around the perimeter, our heads followed, as if we were cats tracking a rubber mouse being whirled around a mechanical wheel. We’re up by one but we all know that can change in the blink of an eye. My six teammates and I bark commands, […]
Practice – One of the Very First Investments You’ll Make
I remember back in the day watching one of the GOAT TV shows of 90’s Nick, the crew was at basketball practice and -as expected- it wasn’t typical by any means. The Coach/Tuckers Dad released a forceful bark “PASS THE BALL TO TUCKER!”, that was the play, and if you haven’t heard… “practice makes perfect”. […]
Not Born With the “It” Factor….Here’s How you Can Get “It”
Remember a few years back when Charlie Sheen totally went off the rocker, drinking tiger blood and self claiming that he was “winning” in all things. Who could forget right? We all watched and eventually just filed it away in the category of celebrities who went crazy. At the time, not many people would actually […]
The Art of “Switching It Up” and “Seeing Some Shit”
Nothing like sitting back between sets, a deep breath, a quick scan of the room and taking it all in. Your in the middle of it, at the watering hole with all of the other animals getting your daily fix. In your peripherals, some dude decked out in spandex is grunting each hip thruster along, […]
Corporate Wellness – Nothing But A House of Cards
Just a few months ago I received an email regarding an exciting new wellness initiative coming Jan 1, 2018. My company is on the preventative health bandwagon and charging full speed ahead. Hey, I’m always down for a little health in the workplace so I was pleasantly interested in what this program was all about. And […]
