Site vs Vision

Site vs Vision

At the N.E.T. Seminar on saturday I did a speech on goal setting. Part of my speech was talking about site vs vision. I got so much feedback from that part of the speech that I decided to write about it for those that could not attend. 
   One of the quotes I used to talk about this topic is from Myles Monroe. He said, "Your eyes show you what is, your vision shows you what could be".  The reason I always use this quote is because to often we let our present circumstances determine our future outcomes. The example I used in the speech was that I drive a Honda Fit right now, however in my mind it is a Bently. My eyes see the Honda everyday but my vision shows me more. 
Some people call vision their "Minds Eye", I think this is a great name for our vision. It is what keeps us going when we have nothing. I remember not that long ago I walked into an empty store front that use to be an eye glass store. When I walked in my eyes saw and pink rug and some ugly paint. My vision saw a place where  young athletes and wanna be athletes can come and have Fun while getting in great shape for their sports. Fast forward 3 years later and FLO Fitness is on the way to that vision. At the time if I would have let my sight take over, I would have walked out. 
Another quote I used on Saturday was," If what you see is not what you saw then what you see is only temporary.". To me this means no matter what is going on now, it will pass if you have a solid vision.  Bad times don't last always. Our current situation is only a temporary thing. We must keep our focus on where we want to be and eventually we will get there.  It helps every once in awhile to close your eyes and picture yourself where you want to be. If its going to a D1 school for sports, picture yourself on the field playing, picture yourself scoring the game winning point. See all of this happening before it actually happens. Everything is created twice, first in the mind and then the physical form.  We must allow our vision to become reality. 
Once again this blog, just like the others, was random and just some ideas floating in my mind.  What i want people to take away from this is, there are ideas in our mind for a reason. We must learn to embrace them and let them out. No matter where you are NOW, it is only temporary.  We have infinite potential to do anything and we must stop letting our current situation dictate our futures.

Rotational Athletes and why you MUST know about the Serape Effect

The Rotational Athlete  In today’s blog we will be discussing a pattern in the overhead/rotational athlete, called the “Serape Effect”. Gene A. Logan and Wayne C. McKinney introduced the Serape Effect to us in their book, “Kinesiology” a couple centuries ago.  The Serape Effect gets its name from a Mexican garment that is draped loosely over the shoulders and is crossed in front of the body.  The muscles involved in the serape effects are the rhomboids, serratus anterior, external obliques and internal obliques. “The Serape Effect incorporates several major concepts which are vital to the understanding of movement. In ballistic actions such as throwing and kicking, the serape muscles add to the summation of internal forces. They also transfer internal force from a large body segment, the trunk, to relatively smaller body parts, the limbs. For example, the serape effect functions in throwing by summating, adding to, and transferring the internal forces generated ...

Are you brave enough for a COLD SHOWER?

Why I Take Cold Showers And You Should Too For the past three years I’ve taken a cold shower almost every single day. You might think I’m crazy and at first; trust me, at first I thought I was too. But hold your judgment, hear me out, give it a try and then you can thank me. What are the benefits of cold showers? 1.     Improve Mood A 2007 study looked at how cold showers affected people with depression. Here is what the authors of the study hypothesized: “Exposure to cold is known to activate the sympathetic nervous system and increase the blood level of beta-endorphin and noradrenaline and to increase synaptic release of noradrenaline in the brain as well. Additionally, due to the high density of cold receptors in the skin, a cold shower is expected to send an overwhelming amount of electrical impulses from peripheral nerve endings to the brain, which could result in an anti-depressive effect.” The study ended up finding that cold showers of 2-3...

A Few Tips on Public Speaking

A Few Tips on Public Speaking    Recently I took a course on public speaking by a group called "own the room".  I felt it was a very helpful course and I wanted to share some of my major takeaways with you all.     As many people may guess, public speaking is one of the greatest fears of most people. It is also the best way to get your message across to large groups of people at the same time. In the fitness business, it is necessary to constantly get your face exposed in the community you work in.  This will help you gain exposure and more exposure equals more business. The following tips may help you get more comfortable with public speaking.  Start off with a BANG! Don't stand there and talk bout yourself for 20minutes. If people are coming to see you talk they already assume you are qualified to speak. Start off with a story, quote, poem, riddle,joke,  etc. Something that will grab their attention. The audience  decides ...
