Jordan B. Goldstein | The Athletic Philosopher🌳🪓

At 24 I was out of shape and wound up in the ER I dreamed of being the 'sporty' dad for my kids but I'd given up playing sports and it cost me At 37 I'm in the best shape of my life as dad of 2 My secret? The Love of Sports Here's how:

Barefoot beach sprints Finding the groove in training

@joshstrength I chose sprints in the sand Let’s go

Most people choose comfort. You chose the hill!!

Every time you take the easy road you betray the best version of yourself Stop being a traitor to yourself and take the hard road Play sports and train in them like you care So you can learn how to stop quitting on yourself when it GETS TOO HARD

You don’t respect the Great Lakes enough 🌊

@Blair_Turn @theryandreyer This is so it and you are so HIM ❤️‍🔥😤

@theryandreyer asked me why I do endurance training yesterday, I gave him the surface answers. The challenge. Loving being a beginner again. Both true. Then I read Matthew 26:41 this morning: "The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak." I've lived both sides of that verse. Skinny kid who became a D2 athlete. Won S&C Athlete of the Year — as a golfer. Built something in my body I was proud of. Then a decade at a desk. Slowly gave it all back. At 35 I started over. To regain the fitness I'd lost. Here's what I know now: Sullivan is 6. Ellie is 3. They are watching everything I do. A strong dad shows up. Gets on the floor. Chases them. Doesn't tap out at 7pm because his body gave up before his heart did. I run two companies. When things get hard, and they always do, I need a body that can match the determination of my spirit. You can push through anything when both are strong. God gave me this body. Staying strong is how I honor that. I don't want to stand before Him having wasted what He entrusted to me. The spirit is willing. I'm making the flesh match it. Throwback photo to last year when I finished my first 70.3

@JohnGoldman You’re really doing it Keep going ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

Last nights easy run was quietly one of my best. Check the HR. That’s around 12 bpm down from just a couple months ago at a similar pace. New fitness is emerging all over. Love it.

A quick message on priorities How do you know if you’re aimed at the right ones? A trip to the library with my kids after school yesterday helped remind me of mine and can help you make sense of your own too 👇

@torreydawley It means love is the most powerful force in the universe

The capacity for human empathy is so great, they’ll risk injury to rescue a literal man-eater from certain death. Do with that information what you will. 🤣

@Alan_Couzens Yeah But what did that guy know 🤣🤣

BE YOURSELF There's only one of you after all

@MichaelDBrandt You BE YOURSELF There's only one of you

You win when you fall in love with journey and stop worrying about the outcome

@thesiskokid It's just physics after all 😎

@JB_Goldstein Agreed! You cannot beat a person who refuses to quit

I’m convinced The only way to lose is quitting Everything else is a win

@OliverCash9 Le Gros Bil With one of his fans Knowing his character and how the little boy looked up at him, to me it’s perfection

@JB_Goldstein Ha.. May have been before my time, and without looking I’d guess maybe Maurice Richard or Jean Béliveau

My favorite photo on an athlete of all time Can anyone identify the player? (Don’t use AI and cheat now)

@SouthMetroAFC Badass photo but not him What made you answer with Cruyff?

@JB_Goldstein Johan Cruyff.

@SidFarkus3 Nailed it!! Talk about AURA 🤌

@JB_Goldstein Is this Jean Béliveau?🧐
