You must keep chasing dreams.

Love never fails; Character never quits; & with patience & persistence; Dreams do come true. -Pete Maravich

I had posted this quote over the summer and felt I needed to explain why it's one of my favorites. First off is the part about love never failing. I am a firm believer in people doing what they love. Learn to lead with your heart. I feel it will never lead you wrong. It may not please others but you must always be true to yourself first. Everything else will fall into place.

Character never quits! It amazes me how many people try to break the character of others. When you are an individual, people try and break your character and make you fall in line with the rest. You must be true to your character and never quit. It's only a matter of time before others recognize what your made of.

The last part of this quote is so important to me. One thing about dreams is that they take time to come true. Every dream must be tested for authenticity. If you don't really want something, you will quit before you make it happen. You must put the work in to make it come true. Then one day when you have grinded and put all your heart and soul in it, it will come true. So keep chasing it and know that it's only a matter of time before you have everything you ever dreamed of.

Taking the NEXT STEP

Taking the NEXT STEP!! Im sure we have all reached a point in our lives where we know its time to take that next step, next level, begin the next chapter in our life. It is by far one of the scariest times for all of us. The point where we realize everything we have ever done has led us to THIS! This is our moment to shine and like Eminem says, " You only get one shot, do not miss your chance blow. Opportunity comes once in a life.". The one scary thing is, you know after THIS moment, nothing will ever be the same. Once you cross THIS line, you can not go back. THIS is it and the pressure is on. They say, "Pressure bust pipes, but It can also make diamonds.", only you can decide what it does to you. We all get to THIS moment, but few rise to the occasion. Few feel the fear and keep walking forward. You can either step into greatness or step back into comfort. Many will choose to step down and let THIS moment pass them by. Once they do that, the rest of t...

Quad & Hip Flexor Mobility & Flexibility

Why is it important to include mobility work for the quads and hip flexors? Tight muscles in the anterior compartment of the leg can cause a number of problems, two of which I will discuss in this blog. 1. Tight quadriceps and hip flexors can put you at an increased risk for a hamstring injury. When people say that a muscle is “tight,” they are essentially saying that the muscle is chronically shortened. Without getting too much into the anatomical specifics, when the hip flexors are “tight,” or shortened, they pull on the lumbar spine. This pull on the lumbar spine increases the curve of the lumbar spine (excessive lordosis) and in turn causes an anterior pelvic tilt. When the pelvis tilts anteriorly, the hamstrings (attached to the ischial tuberosity) can become excessively stretched/lengthened, which can lead to a strain. Therefore, by keeping the hip flexors and quadriceps at proper length, we can keep our ...
