This week we’ve talked a lot about **your own standards**. But here’s the reality… Living by them isn’t always easy. Yesterday after making a promise, I made a decision to fully switch off and spend time with my son. If I’m honest, at first I felt guilty. Like I *should* be doing something else. Working. Catching up. Being “productive.” But one of my standards is being present with the people who matter most. So I stuck to it. And in the end? We had an amazing night. It reminded me of something important: **Your standards aren’t just about work — they’re about life.** Sometimes the standard is pushing harder. Sometimes the standard is being present. Both matter. What’s one standard you’re trying to live by right now, even when it feels uncomfortable?

Hey Perform Crew! Let’s give a big welcome to our newest members @Paolo Pagella, @Neil Brooks & @Matt Neems! Glad to have you all here! My recommendation to get you started on the right track is to head over to the Classroom Tab and watch the Start Here module. If you have any questions @Jerry Rivera and I are always here to help you out!

Hey Crew! It's Friday, so it's time to celebrate our wins! We do this to protect our confidence and focus on things that are going well in our lives. Remember no win is too big or too small. A win is a win. Here's mine: Personal- - I have been working on a position in Jiu Jitsu for a while (actually since white belt but I gave up on it...) and over the last week I have submitted 3-4 guys from it who are very good Jiu Jitsu practitioners. - I had an unexpected big PR today in my movement practice. 1x8@20# on shoulder external rotation. I''ve never attempted 20# before. I felt I had lots of gas in the tank still... - This one seems simple but it's having positive carry over for me. I'm focusing on getting about 120oz of water a day. One of the biggest differences I'm noticing is that I'm sleeping better. Professional- - @Jerry Rivera and I have been really busy this week on backstage stuff for RBLD. Here's what we are working on. - Got new email sequence sent out for our upcoming Webinar on 3-19-26 - Created a Master GPT today that will help us create custom GPTs. This will help us to scale the business more. - Had a great week with my IG posts. Thanks @Eric Hodgdon Ok, your turn- share your wins in the comment below or post your own like @Sonia Berglund did today!

One of the hardest things for high performers is switching roles. At work you are decisive. Direct. In control. At home you need patience. Warmth. Space. If you do not consciously transition, you bring one energy into the other environment. Create a small reset ritual. Five minutes in the car./Or in the office No phone. Just breathe and clear the day. Do not let the boardroom follow you to the dinner table.

Hey Crew! Today I want to talk about the power of starting. Over the past 30+ years of coaching movement, I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard: “I’m going to start when [insert excuse here].” Then I watch them never start. Look, sometimes there’s a legitimate mountain in the way. But let’s be real, most of the time, that’s the exception, not the norm. We use "the perfect plan" as a shield to keep us from doing the hard stuff. I am a big believer in starting small, seeing what happens, and adapting from there. Case in Point: My New VO2 Max Experiment I’m starting a protocol called the Norwegian 4x4. The basics? - 4 minutes of high-intensity effort (90% max HR). - 3 minutes of active recovery. - Repeat 4 times. I t’s brutal. I have my reasons for starting this that I’ll share in time, but today? I only did one 4-minute interval. Could I have done more? Sure. But I want to go to Jiu Jitsu tomorrow and actually have a good practice. If everything feels good tomorrow, then next week I might do two intervals. Or I might stick with one, depending on how I feel that day. But here’s what I know for sure: 1 interval is better than 0 intervals. Accountability Check-In We overcomplicate the "how" because we’re afraid of the "do." If you wait until you can do the "perfect" workout, you’ll be waiting until you’re 80. Coach Check: What is one thing you are putting off starting because it feels too big or too much? What is the "one interval" version of that goal you could start today and improve on over the next 3 months? Ready to Stop Guessing? If you're tired of "managing" your training and you're ready to build a body that actually shows up when you ask it to, you need a system that adapts to your life—not the other way around. I’m hosting a Webinar on March 19th from 6-7pm EST, where I’m breaking down the exact framework we use to take athletes from "constantly injured" to elite performance in their 40s, 50s, and 60s.
