Damn...I opened my mouth to say this and just stopped and laughed. Client asked what I was laughing about. Then I said it. . Client looked at me and burst into laughter. . Kettle meet pot. Pot meet kettle.... . This one is so easy to say. It has been a challenge to do. . My big one is about recharging. There was a point where I worked every day for more than a year. Then I vowed to take off at least one day a week. That lasted six weeks. A work situation changed, and I was back to seven days a week again. . I know I need the down time. It is coming. I do not have excuse for the lack of downtime - I have realities. . I know I need to change those realities. See more

Sometimes we just have to jump. . We are amazingly complex - we being humans. We will build a foundation, a strong one. We will build and build and build. We will reinforce and buttress and reinvent and keep finding things to support that foundation. . Then for some inane reason we never freaking jump from that foundation. Seriously, what is the foundation for if it is not to catch us when we fall?... . So, we do not jump. We are content to stay at this ground level. . We maintain. . We survive. . We exist. . But do we really live? See more

I partially stole this from my homey @derekuyedagolf. . Played a couple of holes after an on course lesson at at the Grand Del Mar. No. 4 is a doozy - 480-yard par-4, slight downhill, a bit breezy most times. A canyon sits to the left of the green. I was hitting bombs that day that would make @philmickelson do more calf work! I went driver-pitching wedge to five feet above the hole. Drained the putt. I left after that. I had just birdied No. 4 at the Grand! You could not tel...l me a thing! (YES THIS STORY IS GETTING SOMEWHERE, JUST LET A BROTHA REMINISCE FOR A MINUTE!) Anyway, @derekuyeda saw me as I was leaving. He was about to take off as well. . Dude, thought you were going to play a few more. I did. Then I birdied No. 4. Hahaha seriously? What’d you hit. Driver pitching wedge from the Grand tees. Had about 155 in with the wedge. You $@{&!#: serious! You went more than three bills into the wind! Dude that’s crazy! I am crushing it right now. Ok, let’s go. Then Derek began getting out his camera equipment. Go where? What are you doing? Dude when you’re hitting it great and feeling good, that’s when we gotta get the video. That’s the most important time to get video. Let’s go. . . That sentiment changed my whole thought process about assessing athletic performance. We always take an initial assessment. But now when an athlete or a life coaching client talks about feeling great or blissful, we take note. . Who is around when you are happy? . Where are you? . What are you doing? . What are you wearing, eating, drinking? . What is the source of that happy? . What is it about you that has you feelin’ your own vibe? . You need to know those things. See more

This can be a hard one. Sometimes the friendship does not end because of a disagreement or fight - those are easy. . Habits change. . Priorities change as well.... . People move. They have children. They get into romantic relationships. They vote for that other person. . One of you may be spending an inordinate and unhealthy amount of time and effort trying to keep the friendship going. . No matter which side you are on, you need to get very lucid about your relationship to the friendship and make a decision that serves you - even if it is the difficult one. See more

Do not get this twisted. There are relationships worth fighting for. But you have to figure out the cost you are willing to pay for those fights. . Not every relationship can be saved no matter how much you do. You can do your part. The other person or people must do theirs. . You can be everything to everybody for only so long.... . What is left for your most important relationship - the one with yourself - when you are constantly everything to everybody else? . If you are going to fight to the end for something, fight with all your energy for your relationship with you. See more

Coaching is coaching, even in a socially distancing world. . Actually, this is more of an educational video than anything else. I’m showing one of our newest coaches how we work with 12 at one time. Yes, you only see six children in this video. But as coaches we have to account for coaching the six athletes and managing the six young bodies and minds traipsing around the field. . As you can see after the description of the exercises, the athletes are always in our vision,... either direct site or in our peripheral vision. There is no point where we have our backs completely facing an athlete. . Keeping eyes on them is keeping attention on them. Turn the back on a group of five year olds for half a second and no telling what will happen with. . This was only for one station. A coach can easily view all the stations from the Broadjump mat and the from and the Prints as well. . Thoughts? See more

Me: Hey, what do you think about this? Athlete: (Look of awe across the face) - You’re on the same ad as @TigerWoods. Me: Oh, so NOW I’m finally cool? Athlete: No words. Just shrugged the shoulders as of to say, Wellll. .... . That’s all right! Just wait until Tiger takes a few tips from Athletic Golf, gives the series credit and reaches 19! Then we’ll see who’s cool! See more
