We're back and bringing some Connection during Quarantine! Today's episode with Coach Frankie was pulled out of the vault, and we're super excited to share it with you! Frankie is one of NCFIT's most senior coaches and is the brains behind the NCX (previously NC45) programming. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the show!

Today I got the opportunity to sit down with NCFIT Mountain View coach Ryan Blackwell and chat about life. For those of you athletes that know Ryan, you've got to agree with me that he's a super interesting dude. We talk about how Ryan got his start at NCFIT and how he was able to transition into a full time coaching position. More importantly we talk about the impact Ryan has made on the NCFIT community through rapport building and community involvement.

Spoiler alert: we also talk about this year's Super Bowl and halftime show. You don't want to miss it!

Today we are sitting down with Adam Saucedo to talk, you guessed it, mindset. Adam first got his start with NCFIT while helping Jason Khalipa prepare for the CrossFit Games. Since then, Adam has transitioned and grown with the NCFIT Family, and now supports our entire coaching staff.

Adam approaches the New Year with a different take, and I couldn't be more into it. Instead of focusing on ALL of the things we could change in 2020 and all of the resolutions we could make, Adam chooses to focus on what we did well in 2019 and use 2020 as a time to capitalize on this strength.

This subtle reframe paired with other exercises outlined in this episode can help you tackle 2020 like the champion you are! Enjoy the show!

We’ve made it to 2020! And, with resolutions at the forefront of our minds, we figured what better topic to tackle than nutrition? Wish crash diets, fads, and preconceived notions of what ‘healthy’ eating is, it’s easy to get lost in a sea of nutritional confusion. Today I’m sitting down with NCFIT coach, Arielle Bloom, to chat all things nutrition. Arielle brings a fresh perspective to nutrition and provides actionable steps to take control of your meals and make lasting lifestyle changes. We talk about mindset, mindfulness practices, and reframing as a way to make more conscious decisions when it comes to nutrition, and give listeners tangible guidelines to work with.

Outside of NCFIT, Arielle offers nutrition coaching and community resources via West Coast Nutrition Coaching. To get involved with this like-minded community, be sure to check out the private Facebook page! Enjoy the show!

Today’s episode is AWESOME, and I’m so excited to share it with you! NCFIT athlete, Sam Russo, is on the show and she absolutely brings it!

Additionally, Sam provides a very practical take on nutrition and shares how she has been able to achieve balance in this area of her life.
