I almost said no…


Hello Reader,

I WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU.

News of the Week

I was scared AF, and almost backed out of an opportunity I have been working towards for the past few years...

I was in my head first, finding every plausible reason to back out of this.

After our pre-season game on the weekend, there were a few tired legs and one of our coaches sent me a text.

They wanted me to train the soccer team with a strength and conditioning class.

Believe it or not…

...Every single person you see,

...every single busy parent you see at the park,

...every personality you see on tv,

...Every single one of us… has fear!

If you're afraid...

Which you absolutely should be if you're in pursuit of anything worthwhile...

You need to understand this

1. Fear is not unique to you.

We're all scared. (I literally almost said no!)

That includes all the people who claim not to be.

2. Fear is a powerful source of fuel if you can train yourself to utilize it correctly.

Most parents allow fear to lock them into a state of paralysis (which was the state I was in before replying to that text)

which is the exact reason why they never go out to build that body they desire.

Learn to use this fear!

As soon as your fears begin to surface...

Use them as a trigger to take immediate action.

What would your life look like if every single time you felt afraid or uncertain...

…You made the decision to take massive fuckin action and double down on your efforts?

I have fears too, A lot of them…

❗️I fear rejection

❗️I fear not being present with my boys

❗️I fear getting injured

❗️I fear not being able to provide for my family

❗️I fear getting back to my heaviest weight

But my biggest fear is not reaching my goals because of the thoughts in my head…

Your fears will either be an asset or a liability.

You choose which one they will be.

And during that transition… I focused on my family, my fitness, and settling into work and school life. But I’ll be honest… At times, I felt like I was letting my community down.

They let fear hold them back.They let convenience...
