You’ve seen someone nail a cartwheel and thought, no way I can do that without crashing. But you can. It doesn’t matter if you’re “gymnastic” or young, learning how to do a cartwheel is not related to either. It’s mostly about timing, balance, and knowing how to shift your weight. I’ve taught kids, teens, and…
If you run long enough, your body talks back. Sometimes loud. For me, it was inside ankle pain that wouldn’t shut up. Not the sharp, sudden kind, more of a nagging pull that shows up halfway through a run and makes you rethink every step. You ice it, stretch a little, maybe switch shoes. It…
I hear this question all the time: “Why are my hamstrings so tight?” And yes, I get it. You stretch, you foam roll, maybe even do yoga, but those strings at the back of your thighs still feel like guitar wires. Back when I was a physical therapist beginner, I would have said that tight…
I’ve spent years helping people chase fitness goals,lose fat, build strength, get in shape. But the phrase that comes up a lot, and often gets misunderstood, is defined fitness. Most people think it’s about how you look in the mirror, visible abs, tight arms and toned legs. Sure, that’s part of it. But true defined…
People ask me this all the time, how many laps around a basketball court is a mile? I get why. Some folks want to squeeze in a run indoors. Some are hoopers trying to stay conditioned. Others just hate treadmills and figure, “Hey, I’ve got a gym and a floor, why not use it?” The…
Some days, you’re running late for gym or work. Maybe for both. Cooking? Forget it. That’s when high protein fast food options come in. I don’t know how many times I’ve driven by that situation. I promise you that not all fast food is dangerous for you. If you know which ones to pick, some…
I’ve been working with seafood and meal plans for years, and scallops still surprise people. Whenever people ask me, “Are scallops good for you?” I tell them this is one of the cleanest proteins you can eat. When we are discussing Scallops Nutrition, we are not just promoting a “superfood.” We are discussing about actual,…
So what is Krav Maga? You’ve probably heard the name tossed around in gyms or in movies where some character fights off bad guys with brutal efficiency. It’s not a traditional martial art. It’s not about showing off forms or earning belts through pretty kicks. Krav Maga is practical. Direct. Made for survival, not sport….
Start here: why listen to me? I’ve coached and played lacrosse for over a decade. College club. High school varsity. Summer leagues where the score is “who brought the cooler.” If you want to know how to play lacrosse and not look lost, I’ve got you. We’ll keep it simple—stick, ball, cradling, passing, shooting, ground…
Quick hit: I’ve spent over 10 years coaching, scouting, and arguing on the sidelines about basketball positions. If you’re trying to understand how point guards, shooting guards, small forwards, power forwards, and centers actually work together, you’re in the right place. Yes, I’ve got opinions. And a few scars from pick-and-rolls gone wrong. What each…
