“People not giving you your props? Worry NOT!......Mediocrity will never congratulate excellence.”

“People not giving you your props? Worry NOT!......Mediocrity will never congratulate excellence.”

-Dr. Murdock



I got this quote from Rev Run on twitter and it inspired me to write this blog.

                It appears to be a common trend when anyone begins to achieve a certain level of success that people are going to hate on you. One of the prime examples now is Tim Tebow. Love him or hate him the man knows how to inspire a team to win. However, now that he has achieved success everyone wants to bash him and talk smack. First everyone said he would never make it in the NFL, and then they said he would never win. Now that he has proved everyone wrong, they still want to bash him.  Why not except his excellence. Give him his props.  

                Why is everyone so quick to pick out our faults? They are so quick to tell you when you are wrong but say nothing when you are right. Is it because they are jealous that they don’t have the courage to do what you do? Is it something they see in you that they wish they had in themselves? Do you represent a part of them that they can’t tap into?  I don’t know the answers to these questions, but I can speak from personal experience.  The people I have been jealous of all had or have something that I wish I had. I have recognized this and have learned to except the feeling of jealousy and dismiss it. I find what it is that I don’t like in a person and most times it is a part of me that I see in them, that I either don’t want anymore or wish I had.  Drake said it best when he said, “Jealous is just love and hate at the same time.”.

                There is always going to be critics or those who say you can’t do something. They see limitations where you may see opportunity.  They may never give you the props you deserve.  All of this is none of you spiritual business. You must continue on your path and ignore the comments.  If it feels right,        DO  “IT”, whatever “IT” may be. They may never congratulate your excellence and that’s ok. You shouldn’t be doing,  “IT” for the recognition anyway. Do “IT” because “IT” is what you do.  Don’t ask for permission asks for forgiveness.

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 ...
