If I could write a letter to myself, what would I say?  Would I make sure that all your paths were straight and give you all the answers you could ever want?  Would I help you to avoid all the pain and challenges that you faced in your life?  Or do I encourage you to take more risk and to fear less?  Should I encourage you to take more challenges and to tackle more?  If I could write this letter, I would write this...

Another busy week, but how about this weather!  It feels like I am back in sunny San Diego and it has me fired up and ready to change some lives!  I have had lots of great moments this week, and I hope you have too!  Keep finding way to make an impact each and every day!  As I like to do, I have gathered a couple things together for you that I found beneficial this past week!  

Over the past couple weeks; I have been receiving many questions of various topics, but many pertaining to my thoughts on in-season training.  Many of our athletes are baseball players and will train in the offseason for 3 or 4 months.  After the offseason, traditionally they will then go off and play high school athletics, followed by summer ball, followed by fall ball, and 8 months later they are back.  These athletes work maniacally for those 3 to 4 months in hopes that those gains will carry them through the next 8 months.  In reality, the season wears us down and does more damage to us than good.  The solution to the breakdown is in-season training.

It has been a busy week at Crucible Performance as we are constantly trying to push to bring you the best, not just some of the time, but all the time!  Below are some great reads for you that I found interesting from the week!  Enjoy!

"Don't" is used to describe a regulation that forbids something. In the human vocabulary we often use the word "do" to dictate a positive behavior. The word "Don't" is virtually extinct when referring to a positive behavior.  However, I have put together a twelve "Don't" series to live by in your every day life. As hard as it is to believe, these "Don'ts" are going to shy out the negative behaviors we can find ourselves guilty of. Every one wants to be successful but not every one wants to sacrifice the negative behaviors that bring nothing to their lives. Here are the first three "Don'ts" in the series:

“New Year, New Me”, one of the most popular quotes at the start of every New Year. Everyone seems to start the New Year off with determination, but then the train begins to slow down and get off track. All those resolutions remain to be unscathed and untouched and put on the back burner until the following year. Why do you think that is? What throws you off the tracks? Maybe the level of effort you are putting forth isn’t actually your absolute best effort. See, everyone is built to do “just enough”, but what is hard is to actually exert 100% of your effort. What people think is 100%, is really only 80%. That final 20% is left on the table and when times get tough, you give up. Here are 3 ways to stay the course, and stay focused on achieving your goals throughout the entire year.

I know it is hard to find the positives in many situations.  Especially when it is so cold out and we are back to the grind of daily work after an outstanding holiday season.  Coach Joey has outlined some ways to help you be more positive this upcoming year!  Time to snap your band and get your mind right!  Making 2017 the best year yet!
