Grateful to have my parents with me this year at Perform Better 2026 in Providence.

It’s rare that I get to bring them into my world, and seeing them connect with so many people I love, in an environment that has meant so much to me over the years, made this weekend extra special.

A huge thank you to Chris, Erin, and the entire Perform Better team for another incredible event.

If you’re a coach, this is where you need to be!

Every year I leave reminded of what makes this industry so special. Reconnecting with people I wish I saw more often, meeting new people, sharing ideas, and being surrounded by coaches who genuinely want to get better.

I had the privilege of speaking to around 300 people and teaching a hands-on session. Seeing coaches at every level show up willing to learn and improve is something I’ll never take for granted.

I’m always grateful to be a part of this event, but having my parents there to experience it with me made this year one I’ll remember.

Thank you, Providence. Thank you, Perform Better. 🙏 Perform Better

I am grateful every day that training is such a big part of my life.

Not a chore.
Not a punishment.

A privilege I do not take for granted.

Good news… if you are training with me, there are ZERO burpees in your future. You are welcome. 💪🏼😂 Don

Happy 19th birthday, Amelia. ❤️

From the moment we first saw you 19 years ago, you exceeded anything we could have ever imagined.

The way you treat people.
Your work ethic.
Your smile.
Your kindness.
Your heart.
The way you show up for the people you love.

Your mother and I are constantly saying how incredible you are and how proud we are of the woman you’ve become.

Keep it going. We couldn’t be more proud.

Go after every dream. Take chances. And when life knocks you down, get back up and keep moving forward.

You’re a gamer. That’s what you do.

We love you more than you’ll ever know.

Happy 19th birthday. ❤️
