Will you let irrational fears cripple you or will you use it as a motivator to achieve something great?

I just watched a television interview with Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green. In the interview he was questioned on why he considers himself the greatest defensive player in basketball. Why is it that we don’t all consider us the best at our craft? We should all strive to be the best. We can’t become the best is we don’t first believe we are the best. As you enter the week, strive to be the best at your craft.

Are you truly chasing your passions? Are they your goals or are they someone else’s? If you have a passion you have to be ready to weather the storms of life. Life will test you every day and you have to be ready to be disappointed again and again in hopes to one day achieve great things!. Have a greater Memorial Day weekend and make sure to do great things for your country!

In the interview with Des we crack open a bottle of wine and have some interesting talks about career goals, fitness goals, as well as what’s going on in each of our lives. The tables get turned on me as Des also brought some questions with her. Hope you enjoy this episode.

All to often we let mediocrity sink into our lives. We should strive to be first place in everything we do. Once we allow ourselves to be second place in one area, we allow ourselves to be second place in all areas.

In this episode me and Kyle banter on about our training philosophy’s, work life balance, and how he is just not good at basketball. Hope you enjoy and Do Great Things for Your Country!

Everyday taxes are due. Taxes to yourself, your family, and your mentors. Every single day we have an opprtotunity to give back. How will you give back this week?

In this episode we interview Kate. Kate is one of our competitive CrossFit athletes. We discuss how her recent deployment impacted her training, her future goals in the sport and in the army, as well as her current training. Hope you enjoy this episode and do great things for your country!

“I don’t have time” is probably the worst phrase ever. We all have time for things that matter. What we are really saying is “this isn’t my priority”. Whenever you get tempted to say “I don’t have time” really take a step back and think if this is something that’s important to you. If it isn’t than say that. But if it is something that is important to you (your health, fitness, family, friends, etc) than make time for it and stop letting things get in the way of what is truest important. Have a great week and do great things for your country!

In this new series we will be interviewing a member of the gym and hear how DCL impacts their lives and how they impact DCL. Today’s episode is with Danielle, a DCL OG. She was one of my original athletes, a wife, mother of two, and now a Doctor of Physical Therapy. Hope you enjoy this new series.
