Hey everyone, I just wanted to give everyone a quick update as to what is going on with my life. I decided to take a leap of faith lately and start a new media company. The goal of Athletic Power is to create an online community for Athletes from all sports and all level of athleticism to motivate, help and share their journey. We also want to create high quality video content that will serve as organic marketing for these athletes and brands. We are currently growing our company with the hopes that one day we can become a powerful tool for athletes who are trying to grow their brand presence!

I believe discipline is something that's easier to manage if you have a system in place to manage it. Whether your goal is to increase your fitness, save more money, or get better grades at school, the five steps laid out above should help give you a framework for setting short- and long-term goals, and taking a major step towards achieving them.

Hopefully you learned a few things about macronutrients in this podcast. I'd also like to touch on how eating more fruits and vegetables can help enhance performance. It's important to maintain low fat levels, which makes fruits and vegetables optimal options for consuming carbs.  While most think of fruits as simple sugary sweets, they are jammed packed with carbohydrates, fiber, vitamins and minerals that can have positive effects on an athletes' health. Kick up the fruit intake in your diet!

For weeks on end I felt like I was not getting anywhere with swimming until today! I swam passed 2,000 Meters and to some that's not a lot but for me it is because I have zero endurance but we all start somewhere. It took me a little over a month to finally see a bit of progression, I was almost getting scared because nothing was happening.

How to be faster, stronger and more agile. Next year I have my first Ironman and I am excited to learn more about how I'm able to build endurance and strength to carry on such a long task for hours on end.

For many of us, a cup of coffee or tea in the morning is more than a delicious pick-me-up to start the day — it’s an absolute necessity. If Starbucks runs through your veins, you’d probably never dream of giving up coffee, but there are so many benefits of quitting caffeine that may make you a whole lot healthier, so you might want to consider taking the plunge.

I mean.... IT'S TOUGH! But without any battles no reward will feel worthy. The storm is brewing but it's part of the plan and I knew from the very beginning that no success story is easy, life itself is a struggle but it's how you approach them to eventually exceed.

Bodybuilding from the outside is well known to be a "healthy sport" but in reality it's the deadliest across the board. You might be thinking how HOW!? and WHY!? The main reason being that steroids are not regulated in bodybuilding and that alone opens a can of worms to a lot of health issues and not to mention emotional struggles with body dysmorphia. I decided it was time to let my physique go and not live in constant battle of looking a certain shape, weight and size. It's a lot of baggage to carry and it was safe to say that this journey is a lot more fun than I expected!
