I don’t know who needs to hear this but there are millions of clients every day who invest in themselves out of pure curiosity instead of need; who invest in overflow instead of scarcity; who don’t want to be fixed because they're not broken, but rather want someone to turn over their stones and lead them somewhere new; who have it good, but want it to be great; who don’t give a rats arse about your signature framework or strategy but crave your intuition; who invest in the experience of coaching like they invest in the experience of festivals, concerts, and life-changing experiences; who don’t want to be strategized to death but rather just want to soak up your wisdom; who don't want a transaction, but a partner in crime. What does that open up inside you? Your resistance speaks volumes (so does that rush of energy that just danced up your spine and exploded into fireworks in your brain) 🎆

What’s the special thing you can do that no one else can do? Do more of that. Then, get crystal clear about the outcome you provide. Price for the outcome you deliver, not your deliverable, or heaven forbid, your time.

@hayden_flohr What obligation can I remove?

If you can't think of what that tweak might be, start here: What obligation can I remove? The easiest way to get your energy & excitement back is to take inventory of where things that used to be in alignment have turned obligatory. 2-3 tweaks over the course of 2-3 weeks can put you on cloud nine again AND open up creative space (without having to burn everything to the ground).

@RobHMIII Oh Rob, so much yes to this. Until you can get "fired up" and excited about your work again, then then EMT-like solutions you try to smother your business with won't work. Day 1 mentality ALWAYS

Are you excited to go to work every day? If not, there might be one little tweak that will get you fired up again. If you can’t think of what that might be, maybe it’s time to switch things up. You (probably) only get 1 go ‘round…unless you’re Bill Murray in Ground Hog Day.

Night check on the ponies. Moonless overcast walkabout. There’s always one who eludes the evening census the first time.

Squishy ankles = your body won't allow you to run faster. If you can't handle the force, your brain will keep you alive so it'll slow you down. That's why you see magical speed increases from foot and ankle work. Because your brain+body can handle more force safely.

Why is this not getting more attention? US credit card serious delinquency rates for subprime borrowers just hit ~22%, the highest since 2010. Meanwhile, delinquency rates on commercial office loans are now at 11%, ABOVE the 2012 peak. We are in a debt crisis. (a thread)

You have purchased the courses. Watched all the videos. Stop procrastinating under the guise of research. Get your hands, dirty, and do the things.

Mastery comes from doing the work. No shortcut, hacks or ‘fake it til you make it.’ Own the process. That you don’t know all the answers. That you’re still learning and growing. You only need to be a few steps ahead of those you teach. Bring others along on your journey.

@natetzu Thanks Nate! Happy New Year to you too!

@RobHMIII Happy new year Rob!

Do more of what you like. Do *much* less of what of what you don’t like. Happy New Year!

It can be done, because only a few people have ever done it. Why not give it a shot? Even if you come up a little short, you’ll still be so far ahead of everybody else in your industry.

Do something different. Remarkable. Help others solve a big problem of theirs. Everything you want will come as a matter of course.

@natetzu 🔥👊 you won’t miss it after a couple of days

I thought about this for a bit. I’m gonna do it.

I haven't talked about shin splints much in the last year. (Because plain and simple... I got tired of it.) But because three coaches I trust mentioned it unprompted to me in the last week, I think it's time to revise the Ultimate guide. If that's something you feel like you need with spring sports coming up. Let me know and I'll update it. The big three differences I'd make this time around. #1. I would call out specifics for training age, # of ground contacts, workout intensity, and some good ole high school physics. If you're in high school hallways trying to develop 14-18 year old sprinters in the winter it's a recipe for disaster. I don't care how many tib raises you do. 100 tib raises is not an insurance policy I'd depend on. Which is why I was so anti-special exercises in the first place. #2. I would absolutely hammer individuality. My background BEFORE my career in healthcare data was in designing athlete readiness software. The bulk of it being a stoplight go/no go system. As I've worked on things more: It's really a Plan B, C, D than a binary workout/no workout decision. The reality is what your freshman who's never been in a sport before can handle is not equal to even your sophomore one year into your program. It's not that they are 'weak' or 'out of shape'. Their training age is sooo low. They could be a 10/10 given their circumstances. But you're comparing them to a junior or senior who's been gifted with puberty. Just cuz they need an extra day to recover from a speed day doesn't mean they are soft. Their body is recovering as fast as it can. There's other things they can do and work on to improve without blasting them from a stimulus they can't handle yet. #3. I would 1000% talk about the mental game more in depth. I've had some incredible success this year in injury recovery way ahead of schedule. The mental side, buy in, visualization, evidence list, highlight reel... The list goes on and on. Most people want exercises and to be healed. But they let 95% of their improvement go to waste with a garbage mental game. That's a non negotiable activity in my book that every athlete and coach can improve on. If you want me to update the Ultimate Guide to Shin Splints, let me know. If you're struggling with it right now. DM me. No one should hurt the way I did with it.

Figure out which of your rules you want to break, and why. If you break these rule consistently, get rid of them.

You’ve achieved a huge goal that was always out of reach. Well done! You don’t feel that much different though. It’s been inside you for a while now slowly coming to life. Know it in your bones. Time to streetch so much further. Grow into a larger version of yourself.

Your pets are getting up to more than you think.
