Have you ever watched kids On a merry-go-round? Or listened to the rain Slapping on the ground? Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight? Or gazed at the sun into the fading night? You better slow down. Don't dance so fast. Time is short. The music won't last. Do you run through each day On the …
#43 The Uphill Battle
We are in an uphill battle. We are in a fight that perhaps is impossible to win. I'm talking about the climate of the health (& fitness) industry. With all the advancements in medicine and technology, the overall health doesn't seem to have improved much. The life expectancy may have increased but people seem to …
#41 Back to the Basics (What I’ve learned being a trainer Pt. 8)
In my years as a trainer & coach, the greatest lesson of them all may be the importance of the fundamentals/basics. Kobe Bryant, one of the greatest basketball players of all time, said “Why do you think I’m the best player in the world? Because I never ever get bored with the basics.” He was known as …

#40 Quote of the Week (10)
"Measurement is the first step that leads to control and eventually to improvement. If you can't measure something, you can't understand it. If you can't understand it, you can't control it.

#39 Ball is Life
In the past year or two, I rarely touched a basketball so I just figured "ball was not life"...so I thought. The last tournament I played was in the 2016 Korean national tournament in Dallas. We, Team DC, lost in the semi-finals to the team from New York, and until 3-4 weeks ago, I thought that …

The things that really matter never seem to be easy. I often find myself choosing the easier path because, well, that means less struggle, less work, and less stress. However, the thing I realize over and over again is that the more I live in such manner my life feels as if I'm living in …

#36 Quote of the Week (9)
"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who …
#34 Impossible (What I’ve learned being a trainer Pt. 6)
We are so obsessed with this idea of perfection. The perfect house. The perfect job/career. The perfect diet. The perfect life. It all sounds amazing. However, what does that even mean? We all have these goals, some small, some grand, some short-term, some long-term. As a coach, I've seen goals from clients, colleagues, and even myself …

#33 Love yourself
We've all heard this quote, "it's all about perspective." Unfortunately, the perspective we are ingrained to take isn't of our own but rather of others. We end up comparing everything we say & do to others' views & standards. We often live for people's approval and acceptance, and such perspective is so common in the …
#32 Training Principles Pt.1
So, after writing out the Fundamental Nutrition Principles series, I thought I needed to write the fundamental principles of training as well. The interesting thing is there seem to be many different ways to approach this topic while the nutrition principle was much more straightforward. The first principle I wanted to start off with isn't …
