"Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire. It has the power to unite people in a way that little else does. It speaks to youth in a language they understand. Sport can create hope where once there was only despair." – Nelson Mandela
As Gandhi once famously said, “Your beliefs become your thoughts, your thoughts become your words, your words become your actions, your actions become your habits, your habits become your values, your values become your destiny.” The man could not have only been a great civil rights leader, but also an amazing coach.
You know what part of the gym is the most utilized—and the most underappreciated? The floor!
Most gymgoers never think twice about the gym floor. They simply walk around comfortably, glad that the floor offers them a stable surface with good traction for their resistance training, HIIT training, and other workouts.
I have worked with many different athletes over the years. For each one that presents with persistent back pain or injury it usually comes down to missing one element of core training. Everyone knows the exercises. I’m not here to teach you a new type of amazing fix-all core exercise; it’s the implementation of holistic core training that is the key. Ask someone when the last time was that they checked on their obliques. You’re usually met by a blank stare.

You are a human—the most cunning, adaptable animal the world has ever seen. Unfortunately, our collective power has grown to such an extreme that you hardly need to contribute in ensuring your own survival. We’ve contracted out our protection and created social acceptance around absolute dependency.
The longest day of the year has come and gone. Summer has started, sure, but you're in the second half of the year and it's all kind of downhill to Christmas now. That doesn't stop the endless stream of feel good, beach body fitness dreams from swamping your social media feeds, and advertising banners.
That got your attention, didn’t it?
Look, I’m not suggesting that whey isn’t a great protein, or that casein or other animal-derived proteins aren’t great, because, let’s face it, they are. Bu there might be some good reasons to use a plant-based protein instead of whey or other proteins, sometimes or even all of the time.

Rationally, we all would prefer to be healthy. We’d love to be capable, physical specimens full of energy and confidence in our longevity. In theory, it would be awesome to arrive at work each day having already worked out and to have no qualms about subsisting on only whole foods. All of us desire health, to some degree, anyway. We can all have it, too. It all depends on one question. How badly do you want it?
