Essential #4
Leading with Attention

This to me is the hardest part of business. This is ALL the details of the business. This is the numbers, profit, income statement, etc. This is where most business owners FAIL. I personally have hired a business coach to get me on track with this part of my business. Many people open a business because they have a passion for something. They do it out of love, but this does not always conquer all. If you want to lead people they must have a path to follow. If the path is just filled with love and passion they may not be able to follow. You need to give them some kind of detailed direction on where to go and which steps to take to get there. I personally have done a poor job in leading my people with details. I have guided with passion and love but have missed the detail boat. Because of this my business has not grown to where it can go. I recognize this and understand that if we are to grow we must map out our path. Once the process is mapped out we can then help others to follow our path to success. That is the ultimate goal. Map out a plan for others so that they to can enjoy success as well.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
