Gain The Competitive Edge

What’s Needed for a Real Transformation?

People tell me all the time:
“I’m cutting carbs.”
“I’m hitting the gym six days a week.”
“I’m done with pizza.”

Okay… but here’s the truth: those things alone won’t move the needle. And most people can’t sustain them anyway.

Your body is always keeping score — every habit, every skipped workout, every late-night snack, every good choice, every bad one. That score shows up everywhere: your weight, your bloodwork, your mood, your energy, your relationships.

So before you start chasing a “summer body,” let’s talk about the real first step:

Clarity.

You need to know exactly where you’re starting and exactly where you want to go.
Bloodwork.
Body composition.
Movement assessment.
Baseline fitness.

Without that, you’re basically trying to drive to a destination with a blindfold on. Not recommended.

If you want a true transformation this year, start with clarity. Everything else builds from there.

For years, I’ve been looking for a way to help young athletes enter their preseason already conditioned, confident, and ready to compete. That’s why I created a six‑week preseason conditioning program built entirely around three structured running workouts each week.

Athletes will complete:

Three different types of runs each week

A total of 18 sessions over six weeks

Progressive increases in volume and intensity

Personal tracking of their accomplishments and improvements

I’ll personally oversee the entire program through my app, offering encouragement, accountability, and support every step of the way.

The full program is normally $50, but I’m offering a $10 discount with the code SixWeekCond10 (expires 6/28).

Starting now will take you right into your fall preseason in peak condition.

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out — I’m here to help athletes get better, stronger, and more prepared than ever.

Get ready for the upcoming sports season! 🏃‍♂️💪 Join our program to prepare your body and prevent injuries during preseason. Don't miss out on this opportunity to save $10 before 6/24/26. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me directly. Let's gear up and make this season a successful one!

Subject: How Long Is This Going To Take?
When a new client starts with us, they often ask how long it’s going to take to get their desired result.
Of course, it depends on the result they want … and where they’re starting.
Significant body changes and strength gains can be achieved in as little as 4 weeks.
And actually, there’s an adaptive response in the body that’s triggered after just ONE strength training workout!
That’s right, after just one workout, your body produces more mitochondria. That’s a fancy way of saying the cells in your body that produce energy. The more of those you have, the faster and farther you can go and the more energy and fat you’ll burn.
So what should you do? Go for the immediate result or play the long game?
The best answer is: Both.
That’s why I recommend that my clients set short-term and long-term goals.
Seeing progress and changes in how your body looks, how your clothes fit, and how much energy you have can give you all the fuel and momentum you need to keep moving toward those long-term goals … and make it more likely that you’ll achieve them.
So, in answer to my original question: “How long is this going to take?”
Depends on the goal and the starting point.
But there’s one way you may not have looked at this question before.
In order to continue getting stronger and better with age, we’re going to need to exercise, eat supportively, and practice self care … for the rest of our lives.
That’s a worthwhile long-term goal, if you ask me.
Just keep going :-)

Subject: Walking and Weights?

Did you know there’s something you can add to your strength training routine that can be a game changer?

No, it’s not some new exercise or elaborate new rep scheme.

It isn’t a new exercise machine … and it certainly isn’t a Peloton.

It’s simply putting one foot in front of the other.

That’s right … walking.

Now that the weather is getting nicer, walking is the secret ingredient you can add to your weightlifting program that will help you improve in more ways than one.

Don’t get me wrong … strength training is still the main ingredient in any effective exercise program, no matter what time of year it is.

But we can take advantage of warmer weather, more sunlight, and fresh air … and burn some extra calories while we’re at it.

And not only will you burn more calories and fat so you can see the muscle definition you’re working so hard to achieve, you’ll get some Vitamin D and be able to clear your head and think for a while.

Now, if you’re already walking for exercise, that’s great … keep doing it!

But if you’re not including a well-designed, intentional strength training program in your fitness routine and would like to, shoot me a reply so we can brainstorm some ideas for getting started.
