Adventure Fit

There are only two ways to look at my sons’ early morning practices:

1- tired from the 4:30a alarm and waste the next few hours being tired and out of my routine

2- a chance to add something back in

I love this book by It is a great and quick read to center myself before I review my day. This combined with my 5 Minute Journal can be a positive and life changing practice that only costs 15 mins ❤️

This morning swam, I foam rolled and then read. It was early. It was simple. And it set me up for today.

Coach B’s son, Gabriel, the mighty little swimmer had a big swim year! It’s been a crazy ride 🙂

He is training to chase National Age Group Records(NAGs). Those are the fastest time EVER swam by someone in that gender/age in USA Swimming.

Master vs Student

It’s going down tonight!

Does Gabriel have what it takes to takes to dethrone his coach?

Probably not, but still really cool to see Gabe get excited about chasing after someone he looks up to and respects :)

Coach TC is seeded in the fast heat with a 3:58.43 while Gabe is seeded #37 where he is trying to break the 5 minute club for the first time :)

Good luck to all the fasttigers competing this weekend!!

Congrats to melissa_sharkbait for killing at toughmudder Toughest Atlanta!!! And thanks for rocking the AF tank on the stage!!!!

These cards, in $ value, aren’t significant.

The power of thought behind these cards are PRICELESS!!!

Too often too many people snicker at the big dreams that people, especially kids, have. It is true that there a MILLION reasons why something won’t happen and the odds aren’t in your favor.

BUT SO WHAT?!?!

GREATNESS is not achieved by those that dare to dream small or play it safe.

Coach B jumped at the chance for his boys to spend some time with these amazing athletes. Each one has been on a path to GREATNESS…

Each one has heard the whispers but chose to do the work. Each one has been hit with many reason “why not” but instead chose to GRIND on the dreams of “what if” instead.

Jaycie Phelps chased her young dreams, won an Olympic gold medal, and is one of the best athletes to have roots in Greenfield.

Alex Shackell grew up in a family where greatness was a daily lesson and expectations were big. As a high schooler, she won Olympic gold and set a WORLD RECORD. She is now a part of why Indiana is secretly one of the leaders in the swimming community.

Braylon Mullins stayed true to his roots even when the path would have been easier for him to leave his home during high school. As a result, he has had what many would consider the greatest high school career at GC and is primed to continue to chase his dreams at UCONN and beyond.

LEGACY is important…

GREATNESS is an expectation….

Thank you to these athletes that not only inspire future generations, they also take the time to talk to them, work with them, and challenge them to grow :)

The ones that have done, and are currently doing, are the ones that are the quickest to lift others up. They are the quickest to find a way to help. They are the ones that’s help others to dream bigger.

So are you spending your days lifting others up or tearing others’ dreams down?

What does that say about you as a person?

Gabriel is chasing after those Luka times back from when he was 9! It’s less about comparison and more about setting goals and knowing that someone has already paved the path :)

One of the most overlooked, yet very important, aspects of being a young athlete is having role models.

As a parent, I want my boys to have strong role models that are deeper than just being talented. Good character, positive influencer, and being a hard worker are ideal traits beyond just raw talent. These traits provide lessons and growing opportunities for aspiring youth.

Here are two of Gabe’s top role models right now: Kyle Sockwell & Kyle Ponsler. Both have/are having incredible swimming careers. Beyond the pool, both are great examples of young men that I am happy for my sons to have a connection to.

A couple of months ago, we made custom cards ( ) for each Kyle as a “Thank you for being you” and we mailed them copies. In the past few days both of them have returned the cards signed along with goodies and personalized notes to Gabe.

So as a dad, THANK YOU to both Kyles. Not only have you set a high standard for future generations, you have made a positive improvement in my little swimmer who thinks it is natural to shoot for the stars!

The body follows where the mind is focused…

It’s no secret that Coach B’s 9yr old, Gabriel, is currently all things swim. He reads about swim, he watches videos on YouTube about swim, he wants swim gifts and training tools, and he loves his time in the pool.

He recently has asked to start decorating his room in swim. He has swim themed bedding, swim themed posters, and his collection of swim caps up. He also has a copy of his swim goals next to his bed along with cards of his swim heroes and teammates.

This is a perfect example of priming your mind to take your body where you want to go!

What things have you put up to get your mind and body where you want to go?

A few weeks ago I trialed an experiment. I invited one of my clients to train with me at 6am on Monday, Wednesday, Friday. It was an easy solution that solved two problems: he was struggling to be consistent and my workouts were nonexistent.

This worked well for a couple of weeks and then another client thought that would be a better solution for him so he joined us. Now it has worked out awesome!! On Mondays we do heavy deadlifts, bench press, and squats followed by mobility work. Wednesdays we focus on cardio. And Fridays we master bodyweight movements and tabatas. Even more importantly, we fellowship with each other.

Being a business owner is tough. Being a parent is tough. It is nice to have this group to bounce ideas off of and to have others that listen and cheer for you.

So I’m opening the group up again for another male to join us (sorry ladies I will circle back and figure out how to replicate this for you soon 🙂 6a-7a on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.

You can message me directly or forward this post on to another man who would benefit from being a part of this tribe. Then we can go over the details on how it could work.
