An Olympic Coach’s Advice for Tradesmen Who Can’t Afford To Break Down


Listen Later

🔧 Built for Olympians. Adapted for Guys Who Move the World.

If your back’s stiff, your shoulder clicks, or your knees feel older than you are—this episode’s a wake-up call.

Former U.S. National Gymnastics Coach Christopher Sommer spent decades building Olympians. Now he’s training the hardest-working men and women in America—trades pros, service techs, and business owners who can’t afford to break down.

You show up for the job. You carry the load at work, lead your team, and still go home with enough left to be there for your family.

But when your back tightens up, your shoulder goes out, or your energy fades, everything suffers—your business, your people, your peace of mind.

This isn’t about getting fit. It’s about getting free. Staying strong enough to keep showing up where it matters most—without pain holding you back.

 

🔑 Key Takeaways:

  • The power of playing the long game: thinking in 3–5 year blocks, not 3–5 months
  • "No brain, no gain": why smart training beats “no pain, no gain” every time
  • Why talent alone isn’t enough — and why most naturally gifted athletes fail
  • How elite-level discipline and systems translate to business leadership
  • How to hire, coach, and lead high-performers (and why most people aren't built to be entrepreneurs)
  • Building character, not just champions — why the long game is always about people
