Essential #2
Leading with Vision

- This is key for getting where you want to go. If its business or life you must have a clear vision of where you want to go. Imagine getting into a car and just driving in any directions, then being mad because you ended up a place you didn't want to be. It would be all your fault for not having a clear vision of where you wanted to be. You can not lead others if you have no idea where you are headed yourself. A true leader is a leader because they have a clear vision and others know their vision. By sharing in the vision they embody it and become one with it. They call you a leader because you created the vision however once they share the vision, they become leaders themselves. As they say, a great leader creates other leaders.

- Map out where you want to be. Decided the vision for your life or business. Once you have the destination you can sit back and enjoy the journey.

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 ...
