all right, a new week and that means a new blog post!

so i was supposed to start up a monthly boxing and pad demo at the bay front park this weekend as part of a monthly out reach program with my good buddy rich menna but my partner in crime just had a new baby and the baby ain't taken care of her herself so...next week. we got to be early cause like my dad always says, "you can't expect to soar with the eagles in the mornin if your flirtin with the chickies at night"

this was not to say that the weekend wasn't busy, i attended my first team Canada training camp with my fighter adam hensen. this was all part of a weekend seminar called raising the bar 2. this was a cask offered coarse that focuses on team building, coaching lectures, strength conditioning for your athletes and motivational lectures. i didn't attend the seminars as i had prior commitments in simcoe teaching.

on Sunday adam hensen and my self attended the seminars lunch-in and annual awards banquet. this was especially great as my fighter won the award for "thai boxer of the year" this is an increadible accomplishment as he has only been fighting for 1.5 years and already he went the entire year undefeated and captured both the Ontario and national titles on his first attempts.

the best thing about teaching people about fitness and well being is seeing how much they improve in everything. the simplest thing for you or me is a mountain of accomplishment for them. for me the ultimate as a trainer is being able to transfer my knowledge as a championship fighter into a young fighter that takes it all the way to a championship! like they say a great athlete doesn't always make a great coach, I'm glad I'm not in that group!

until next time

hands up, shut up and fight.
