What’s your goal for today? 

Client spotlight: progression + progressions

Movement of the day: 
-Single leg stabilization holds + activation

This is a simple stabilization/activation movement that helped prep for my clients power movements. It’s a burner - try it out!

My pops was the first strength & conditioning coach at Virginia Military Institute (VMI)—a role he held for 45 years.

He got into lifting thanks to Bill Starr (record-holding powerlifter, author of The Strongest Shall Survive), whom he met in the basement gym of a 7‑Eleven in Bel Air, MD in the early ’70s.

Both preached the same thing:
Good technique. Functional movement. Bodyweight. Single-leg work.
For years, the only weight I used was a broom handle.

Here’s the leadership lesson:
Don’t underestimate what a strong body does for a strong mind.
Challenge yourself—with real, functional effort.
The payoff is massive—for you and your team.

Coach Starr passed away in 2015. I keep a signed copy of his book in my office.
A reminder: It’s a great day to be coachable 💪🏻💪🏻
