Happy Monday after another beautiful weekend here in the northeast, where the weather finally seems to be turning into summer after an extremely rainy spring.

That being said, here are a few thoughts bouncing around in my head after a week of reading, podcasts, cruising social media and any other continuing ed. Enjoy!

1. Alan Bishop on Twitter this past week; “99% of training results come from working hard, eating clean, sleeping, hydrating and consistency. It isn’t sexy, but it works.” YUP!
2. All the recovery stuff in the world won’t make a bit of difference if sleep and nutrition aren’t in order. Take care of that low hanging fruit before you worry about all the fancy stuff.
3. The biggest risk is not taking any risk… In a world that changing really quickly, the only strategy that is guaranteed to fail is not taking risks. – Mark Zuckerberg. Don’t be afraid to take a risk every now and again, even if you fail – you don’t want to make failure a regular thing, but on the other hand there is nothing wrong with taking risks and failing every once in a while.
4. If you don’t look back at your program from a couple years ago and roll your eyes at something that you were doing, then you probably need to reassess your continuing education. I look back at programs from 2-3 years ago and wonder what I was thinking all the time – not necessarily on the big rock things or the overall philosophy, but certainly on some of the smaller accessory type stuff.
