Coaching & Cocktails

Can you be great without regrets? What started off as a quick review and our feelings and thoughts about the Ronnie Coleman documentary took a slight detour and merged quite nicely into our recent episodes in our Life Athlete series. In Episode 26, Brandi and Tina turn their documentary review into a discussion about the difference between being relentless and reckless in the pursuit of your goals and ultimately - greatness.

Reckless - without thinking or caring about the consequences of an action.
Relentless - keeps trying and never gives up.

Watch the Netflix documentary - "Ronnie Coleman - The King" and join us after the episode in our Coaching & Cocktails Facebook discussion group. We'd love to hear your opinions and feelings on the "do whatever it takes to succeed" mentality.

"For extraordinary results, you need an extraordinary approach. For extraordinary life, you need an extraordinary strategy." - Your Life Strategy AgileLeanLife.com

The key to a more successful life is having a superior strategy for living it. Hoping that everything turns out okay is not a strategy. Join us as we detail how to start your own personal strategic plan, and why it's critically important to manage priorities and energy; not time.

In Episode 25, Brandi and Tina tackle Life Strategies as the 3rd pillar in their special Life Athlete series. In Pillars 1 and 2, we discussed the mental and physical preparedness strategies for reaching your goals. Now it’s time to put pen to paper and detail your plan of attack! Strategic planning is used in corporations, the military, the medical community and anywhere you see success! Remember, “if you fail to plan, you plan to fail.” Planning for your success in reaching your goals is no different from planning out a big project at work! Think of yourself and the goal you are pursuing as your project, and now, we must set forth the plan.

Life's a sport; become a life athlete and train smarter, not harder.

Becoming the best athlete possible starts long before you lace up your shoes or enter a gym.  While people often want to focus on just the nuts and bolts of training and nutrition, the reality is that there are many other factors in your life that must be in place before you can truly be a successful athlete. While training and nutrition will be paramount to your success, without the proper "Life Athlete" pillars in place you will not have the foundation upon which to build your full athletic potential.

Join Brandi and Tina in this boni-sode as they introduce their theories and strategies about building strong pillars in all areas of life to become the foundation for all athletic pursuits. Harness the power of the journey to becoming the best Life Athlete you can be.

"We cannot selectively numb emotions, when we numb the painful emotions, we also numb the positive emotions." - Brene Brown

The original title of this episode was supposed to be "You're Not Hungry You're Bored," but the conversation took a right, then a left and eventually ended up right where we intended it to be. In Episode 22, Tina and Brandi discuss insights generated from reading the book, "Rising Strong" by author and researcher, Brene Brown. Most of us have more time on our hands and may be feeling a little vulnerable right now; uncertain, scared, and out of sorts missing what used to be our normal and our routine. If you have found yourself trying to numb some of your feelings with food, booze, staying busy, or binge watching TV until your eyes fall out, you're not alone.

In this episode we'll deep dive into a discussion about leaning into the uncomfortable places in our feelings and finding the courage to be curious about we feel them. Learn why you can be courageous or comfortable, but not both.

In Episode 21, Brandi and Tina continue their conversation about the current state of the natural bodybuilding community during the pandemic quarantine in an interview with the American Natural Bodybuilding Federation (ANBF) president, Kent Bierly. Kent shares what the ANBF is doing for show cancellations, reschedules, and what's to come later in the season. 

Stay safe and stay healthy and as always don't get weird, use your head and it'll all be OK.

In Episode 20, Brandi and Tina kick things off with a special guest interview with Marjorie Thrash, Marketing Director of the OCB natural bodybuilding federation. Marjorie answers questions regarding the current state of OCB shows and cancellations, due to the pandemic, and shares some inside information on their decision making process and when they hope the show will be able to go on. 

Everything is uncertain and we're all in this together; we've all been served the same shit sandwich. Brandi and Tina share some coaching insights on what to do if your show is canceled or postponed, how to stay on track during all the uncertainty and how to know when to gamble and when to hold'em or when to fold'em (RIP Kenny Rogers).

Stay safe and stay healthy and as always don't get weird, use your head and it'll all be OK.

These are strange times indeed, so our podcast this week is no different. In Episode 19, Brandi and Tina host an "open mic" discussion with several of our Center Stage Athletics & Team CSFP athletes. Nothing was off limits, so there was most definitely a hodgepodge of interesting discussion going on. Topics range from what we're binge watching to how we're staying active during the pandemic quarantine. We even talked a little about the swans and orange headed ducks in Tina's neighborhood; although it's not exactly what you think. Join in the fun, and sometimes madness. Remember, we're all in this together. And stay the F%^K at home!
