Client practice this week. Dude told me he hoped he could make x, y, and z happen. Stopped him immediately. With that mindset it's never gonna happen, I told him. Asked him if he knew who Kit Carson was. He did not. Told him Kit's story. Thought and action were one and the same to … Continue reading Hope so…

Yesterday, Littlest, Slo, and Jmo joined Peej, Blondie, and me for some core work in the early morning. It was solid work. 9:09 Peej, Blondie, and I departed for a 27 mile ride in 35 degree sunshine. Was epic. First ride of the year. Peej is 49 and a stud cyclist. He pulled Blondie and … Continue reading Make it a great ride…

Only enough for one day, however. The point? Trust the provider; the provision, not so much. What/who/why is at the top of … Continue reading Trust the provider…

The firing created enough margin to take both on as long as they could practice in former clients time … Continue reading Another door…

My favorite team practice, by far, is playing with nine golfers, two coaches, and one birdie. These twelve make one helluva team. Why are they my favorite? Simple. They are doing the work. Not just a few. ALL of them. Their ranking is not reflective of their greatness. Results are always a lagging indicator. Preparation. … Continue reading Outcomes will come…
