I believe that nothing is happening to us but 79 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:49,520 Speaker 1: for us, and I do not believe that there is 80 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:53,600 Speaker 1: one challenge or one obstacle that we will face that 81 00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:58,200 Speaker 1: we cannot overcome. And I truly believe that we were 82 00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:01,400 Speaker 1: chosen and created to be in this time. I mean, 83 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:05,920 Speaker 1: these are extraordinary times, these are unprecedented times.

But I believe 86 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:16,000 Speaker 1: that we were created to be here, and if we 87 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:19,040 Speaker 1: were created to be here, therefore we have everything we 88 00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:22,480 Speaker 1: need on the inside of us to get through these times. 89 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:26,080 Speaker 1: And I really really believe that, So I hold on 90 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:29,720 Speaker 1: to my piece I hold on to my hope. I 91 00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,600 Speaker 1: stay in the ring, and I keep fighting and keep pushing, 92 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:35,880 Speaker 1: and I search for the lessons that are in this 93 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,679 Speaker 1: season because I do believe that this is a huge 94 00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:42,160 Speaker 1: learning opportunity for us. You know, we can either look 95 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:45,280 Speaker 1: at things as obstacles or we can look at them 96 00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:48,479 Speaker 1: as opportunities to learn.

And in my professional career, you know, 178 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:47,240 Speaker 1: managed to marry sport and spirituality and my coaching style. 179 00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:52,920 Speaker 1: And you know, I really give that up to my 180 00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:56,280 Speaker 1: parents and to my father, who you know, at one 181 00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:59,160 Speaker 1: point he was manager of the year of the Chicago 182 00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:01,560 Speaker 1: White Sox. You know, he has a World Series ring 183 00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:06,400 Speaker 1: with the Florida Marlins, but was just a tremendous coach 184 00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:11,080 Speaker 1: and he taught me. You know, I learned so much 185 00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:14,560 Speaker 1: from him as a coach, and he taught me when 186 00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:19,360 Speaker 1: he was, you know, managing these professional baseball players. He said, 187 00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:25,120 Speaker 1: for me, it's just as important for the man to 188 00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:28,680 Speaker 1: be just as great as the athlete. So what that 189 00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:33,640 Speaker 1: meant was, it's just important for the father, the husband, 190 00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:38,000 Speaker 1: the brother, the son, the human being that I am 191 00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:42,040 Speaker 1: coaching to be just as great and just as extraordinary 192 00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:45,719 Speaker 1: as the athlete. You know, he's managing you know, Hall 193 00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:50,840 Speaker 1: of Fame athletes, and so that was eye opening for me. 194 00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:54,320 Speaker 1: That was a deeper understanding for me of what coaching 195 00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:58,479 Speaker 1: could be. That it's not just about training or coaching 196 00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:03,040 Speaker 1: the athlete, but it is actually an opportunity to train 197 00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:07,240 Speaker 1: and coach the person, the human, the man, the woman. 198 00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:13,720 Speaker 1: And you know, that deepened for me, you know, the 199 00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:16,160 Speaker 1: revelation of what coaching should and could be. 200 00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:20,640 Speaker 2: I also think with that, I'm sure you've you've experienced 201 00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:25,760 Speaker 2: injury before. Yes, of course, so when someone gets injured 202 00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:28,360 Speaker 2: and they can no longer do that thing that they 203 00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:30,560 Speaker 2: associate with, whether it was back in the day for 204 00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:33,400 Speaker 2: you being a runner, or for now these days, you know, 205 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:35,320 Speaker 2: doing with what you do at Army. When you go 206 00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:38,440 Speaker 2: through those experiences, you feel unsure of like what to 207 00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:41,200 Speaker 2: do or who to be because that person that you 208 00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:44,320 Speaker 2: identify with, that thing that you identify as being such 209 00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:46,640 Speaker 2: a big part of your existence, like it gets put 210 00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:50,640 Speaker 2: on the back burner. So by coaching individuals and talking 211 00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:52,440 Speaker 2: to them in such a way where you're coaching them 212 00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:57,080 Speaker 2: to be a better person holistically and not just necessarily 213 00:12:57,160 --> 00:13:00,000 Speaker 2: a better athlete, it's such a you know, more beautif 214 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,400 Speaker 2: full and beneficial approach. 215 00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:07,960 Speaker 1: Absolutely, And I always you know, I get asked that 216 00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:11,880 Speaker 1: a lot, and I always coach the remix, like what 217 00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:14,920 Speaker 1: is the remix to the gift? You know what I mean? Like, 218 00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:18,920 Speaker 1: what is first of all? I believe that every single 219 00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:22,000 Speaker 1: one of us was created in purpose, on purpose for 220 00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:26,800 Speaker 1: a purpose. That we weren't created to find purpose, that 221 00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:29,880 Speaker 1: we already have purpose within us, and it's just about 222 00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:33,800 Speaker 1: unlocking that and discovering that and really living your life 223 00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:37,360 Speaker 1: where you operate in that and move in that. There's 224 00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:40,160 Speaker 1: different seasons, you know, there was a season in my 225 00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:43,840 Speaker 1: life where I was completely in purpose when I was 226 00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:48,439 Speaker 1: running track professionally and that season came to an end. 227 00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:52,440 Speaker 1: That season isn't forever, But what is the remix to that? 228 00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:56,080 Speaker 1: And for me, it was coaching and encouraging people to 229 00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:59,960 Speaker 1: live their best life and using the vehicle of physical 230 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:05,920 Speaker 1: reality to do that. But yeah, it's never the end. 231 00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:09,960 Speaker 1: Just because it's the end of a season or just 232 00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:13,000 Speaker 1: because it's the end of a chapter, that doesn't mean 233 00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:16,120 Speaker 1: that all of a sudden there's no longer a purpose 234 00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:18,600 Speaker 1: in you. You know, as long as we have breath 235 00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:21,880 Speaker 1: in our body and in our lungs, we have purpose. 236 00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:24,280 Speaker 1: You know, every day that we are on this earth, 237 00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:27,320 Speaker 1: there is something that we can do to push humanity forward. 238 00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:30,920 Speaker 1: So it's you know, constantly putting ourselves in that position 239 00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:35,120 Speaker 1: to search for that and to understand that and to 240 00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:39,840 Speaker 1: own that. I was in a horrible car accident years 241 00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:42,640 Speaker 1: ago where I was hit by a drunk driver. I 242 00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:46,160 Speaker 1: was t boned, and I was at the time, I 243 00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:53,080 Speaker 1: was teaching cycle and yoga and I could no longer 244 00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:59,000 Speaker 1: physically do it, and so I started coaching my cycle 245 00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:02,760 Speaker 1: classes from the floor. So I got off the bike 246 00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:05,720 Speaker 1: and I was coaching from the floor, and still to 247 00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:09,000 Speaker 1: this day, I coach all of my classes from the floor. 248 00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:13,480 Speaker 1: I don't do the practices with my athletes. You know, 249 00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:15,640 Speaker 1: that was a remix for me. I had to figure 250 00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:18,040 Speaker 1: out how to stay in purpose and still do the 251 00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:20,920 Speaker 1: work because I knew that season wasn't over, but the 252 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:24,680 Speaker 1: season of the physicality was over and that was okay. 253 00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:25,480 Speaker 3: Wow. 254 00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:31,560 Speaker 2: So talk to me about then, that first class, that 255 00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:36,000 Speaker 2: first practice, that first opportunity back. I mean, how did 256 00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:39,760 Speaker 2: you remove the judgment from that situation, because I think 257 00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:43,040 Speaker 2: that that can seriously be a huge hurdle for so 258 00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:46,960 Speaker 2: many when you have to go about that remix, as 259 00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:47,440 Speaker 2: you call it. 260 00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:51,080 Speaker 1: Well, I mean, first of all, it's not as common 261 00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:55,400 Speaker 1: to you know, go to a cycle class and have 262 00:15:55,720 --> 00:16:00,680 Speaker 1: the instructor on the floor versus on the bike, so 263 00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:04,560 Speaker 1: there is judgment on you know, well, what are people 264 00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:06,560 Speaker 1: going to think? And I'm not going to stand here 265 00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:10,840 Speaker 1: in front of every single class and explain I was 266 00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:14,080 Speaker 1: in a horrible car accident and you know, this is 267 00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:16,320 Speaker 1: now how I coach my classes. I'm not going to 268 00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:19,120 Speaker 1: do that. I'm going to come in here and I'm 269 00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:22,920 Speaker 1: going to crush it. I'm going to be even more inspiring. 270 00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:25,840 Speaker 1: I'm going to be even more motivating. You know, I'm 271 00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:29,040 Speaker 1: going to bring stories to the table. I'm going to 272 00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:31,400 Speaker 1: bring different lessons to the table. I'm going to bring 273 00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:33,720 Speaker 1: different principles to the table. I'm going to use this 274 00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:38,240 Speaker 1: coaching opportunity as a teaching opportunity. I'm going to, you know, 275 00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:41,600 Speaker 1: take this opportunity to go deeper than I could normally 276 00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:44,280 Speaker 1: go if I was riding the bike and trying to 277 00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:46,600 Speaker 1: do all of the moves at the same time as 278 00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,160 Speaker 1: you know, coach the class. I'm going to turn this 279 00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:56,320 Speaker 1: into a completely different immersive experience and you know, change 280 00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:59,440 Speaker 1: the game. And that's what I did. You know, instead 281 00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:01,560 Speaker 1: of worrying about, well, what are people going to think 282 00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:03,200 Speaker 1: and what are people going to say? And are people 283 00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:05,280 Speaker 1: going to judge me because I'm not on the bike. 284 00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:09,040 Speaker 1: It's like I know that there is something on the 285 00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:11,040 Speaker 1: inside of me and I know that I am not 286 00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:14,639 Speaker 1: done yet, and I'm going to go out here and 287 00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:18,159 Speaker 1: remix this thing and I'm going to crush it. And 288 00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:21,800 Speaker 1: you know, that was my attitude. You know, I didn't 289 00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:26,880 Speaker 1: come from a victim mentality. I came from a victory mentality. 290 00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:29,520 Speaker 1: I'm not going to step into the situation and just 291 00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:33,880 Speaker 1: immediately be a victim, immediately, be woe as me. Immediately 292 00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:36,159 Speaker 1: be like I was in this horrible car accident and 293 00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:38,000 Speaker 1: I can't do it the way I used to do it. 294 00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:41,240 Speaker 1: But like, let me show you something new, you know, 295 00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:44,080 Speaker 1: let me put you on, you know, and just it's 296 00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:47,600 Speaker 1: your posture. It's your posture. You are who you say 297 00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:50,040 Speaker 1: you are, you are who you think you are. You 298 00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:53,520 Speaker 1: know you're how do you how do you speak to 299 00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:55,480 Speaker 1: a room when you walk into a room before you 300 00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:58,720 Speaker 1: say anything. It's it's in your posture, and it's in 301 00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:03,160 Speaker 1: your confidence. And I just chose to be confident in 302 00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:06,720 Speaker 1: the gifts and talents that still resided on the inside 303 00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:09,120 Speaker 1: of me, regardless of what my body could do. 304 00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:14,680 Speaker 2: On the physicality front. How was rehabbing from that accident. 305 00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:19,000 Speaker 1: It was intense, you know, it was a really really 306 00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:24,760 Speaker 1: long process. You know, there's still things that I have 307 00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:27,000 Speaker 1: to do. And this accident was years and years and 308 00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:30,359 Speaker 1: years ago, but it was a really really bad car accident. Again, 309 00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:35,040 Speaker 1: nothing that I felt like I was so overwhelmed by 310 00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:37,840 Speaker 1: that I refused to do the work, you know, even 311 00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:40,560 Speaker 1: when I didn't feel like it, I just you know, 312 00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:42,919 Speaker 1: put my head down and did the work and not 313 00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:46,680 Speaker 1: to say that I showed up every single day to rehab, 314 00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:48,760 Speaker 1: because there was definitely days where I felt like I 315 00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:52,439 Speaker 1: was over it and needed a break from it. But 316 00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:55,200 Speaker 1: all in all, I knew that I needed to honor 317 00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:59,560 Speaker 1: the process in order to get better. And at that time, 318 00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:02,960 Speaker 1: I already had my two kids, and so for me, 319 00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:10,040 Speaker 1: getting back to a healthy state was more than just 320 00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:14,080 Speaker 1: coaching my athletes. It was also you know, being able 321 00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:20,159 Speaker 1: to be an active mother to two young athletes. You know. 322 00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:26,199 Speaker 1: So I had a lot on the line. So I 323 00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:28,879 Speaker 1: stayed in the work, you know, long enough to get better. 324 00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:36,520 Speaker 2: Worse injuries than you had experienced ever in your athletic career, yeah. 325 00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:40,120 Speaker 1: I mean it. You know, a horrible car accident could 326 00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:44,320 Speaker 1: be very debilitating. I mean I definitely had, you know, 327 00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:51,920 Speaker 1: athletes or excuse me, injuries as an athlete where you know, I, 328 00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:58,040 Speaker 1: you know, ruptured my planner fashion and I you know, 329 00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:02,480 Speaker 1: tore my hamstring or you know, my knees were jacked up, 330 00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:07,920 Speaker 1: and I'm going in between you know, cortisone shots and 331 00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:12,439 Speaker 1: you know, trying to be able to get out of 332 00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:15,720 Speaker 1: the bed and walk. So yeah, there's injuries for sure 333 00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:19,760 Speaker 1: that are significant as an athlete. But I think the 334 00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:24,399 Speaker 1: car accident for sure was you know, quite debilitating for 335 00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:24,760 Speaker 1: a bit. 336 00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:29,639 Speaker 2: I also can imagine just like the mental trauma that 337 00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:31,440 Speaker 2: goes hand in hand with something like that. 338 00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:35,600 Speaker 1: You know, you have to choose to look at things, 339 00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:38,480 Speaker 1: you know, look for the good and things and look 340 00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:40,960 Speaker 1: for the victory and things. It's a choice, you know. 341 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:42,960 Speaker 1: I always say, we make choices every day. By the 342 00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:44,919 Speaker 1: end of the day we are the total some of 343 00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:49,480 Speaker 1: those choices. A lot of our posture in life is 344 00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:53,800 Speaker 1: based on the choices that we've made. And so mentally, 345 00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:56,560 Speaker 1: you know, they say the battle is in the mind. 346 00:20:56,840 --> 00:21:00,760 Speaker 1: A lot of it. You're just mentally remind being yourself 347 00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:05,480 Speaker 1: who you are and choosing to search for the good 348 00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:08,960 Speaker 1: and choosing to search for the victory, and choosing your 349 00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:14,280 Speaker 1: posture and choosing your outlook. And sometimes that mental work 350 00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:18,199 Speaker 1: in itself is tiring. You know, that in itself is exhausting. 351 00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:24,399 Speaker 1: But you know, once you once you make your mind up, 352 00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:28,200 Speaker 1: that's being determined. Is when you make your mind up. 353 00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:31,880 Speaker 1: Once you make your mind up, uh, you know, you're 354 00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:35,040 Speaker 1: just willing to do the work, whether it's the mental work, 355 00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:37,800 Speaker 1: you know, whether it's the spiritual work, the emotional work, 356 00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:41,800 Speaker 1: whether it's the physical work. When you make your mind up, 357 00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:45,520 Speaker 1: you go for it. It's it's the little decisions. It's 358 00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:49,640 Speaker 1: like we make little decisions, little decisions to get out 359 00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:52,000 Speaker 1: of bed, little decisions to put one foot in front 360 00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:56,000 Speaker 1: of the other, little decisions to be kind, to forgive, 361 00:21:56,480 --> 00:22:01,600 Speaker 1: little decisions to stay in the pocket and hard cycle practice. 362 00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:04,960 Speaker 1: You know. It's like the little decisions that we make 363 00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:08,720 Speaker 1: that feel like they're invisible to the rest of the world, 364 00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:14,119 Speaker 1: but eventually will show up in an external way, you know, 365 00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:17,359 Speaker 1: for everyone to be inspired by the work you've been doing. 366 00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:22,679 Speaker 1: So it's just continuing to make those little decisions to 367 00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:23,880 Speaker 1: move forward. 368 00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:35,119 Speaker 2: Taking a break from today's episode to talk up my sponsor, 369 00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:40,240 Speaker 2: Athletic Greens.

You know I was. 397 00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:27,520 Speaker 1: I was an athlete. I've been an athlete all my life. 398 00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:29,800 Speaker 1: You know it wasn't until I was in middle school 399 00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:32,159 Speaker 1: that a boy can beat me. I was always the fastest, 400 00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:36,719 Speaker 1: and you know, my dad being a professional baseball player, 401 00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:40,400 Speaker 1: and you know my you know, my family just being 402 00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:47,560 Speaker 1: a very athletic family. It felt natural. You know. I 403 00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:51,240 Speaker 1: think for me, the missing piece and the piece that 404 00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:55,439 Speaker 1: I was looking for was the service piece. You know, 405 00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:59,160 Speaker 1: I really believe that we are to take what we've 406 00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:01,200 Speaker 1: been given and given back to the world, and that 407 00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:05,479 Speaker 1: that's an act of service. And so for me, if 408 00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:10,879 Speaker 1: I am you know, gifted athletically, if I'm gifted as 409 00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:13,800 Speaker 1: an encourager, as a motivator, as an inspirer, how can 410 00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:17,719 Speaker 1: I give that back? And for me, you know, a 411 00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:22,200 Speaker 1: platform that put it all together was coaching, and so 412 00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:26,960 Speaker 1: it felt natural and it felt you know, it just 413 00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:31,040 Speaker 1: felt like a vehicle to do the work, and it 414 00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:34,040 Speaker 1: felt applicable. You know, there were things in my life 415 00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:37,480 Speaker 1: and things as an athlete that I was able to 416 00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:41,520 Speaker 1: bring to the table, you know, in a cycle class, 417 00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:45,280 Speaker 1: in a boot camp situation, even in a yoga or 418 00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:51,840 Speaker 1: stretched situation, and so it all felt applicable to me. 419 00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:55,159 Speaker 1: It felt like there wasn't anything that was going to 420 00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:59,400 Speaker 1: waste that I could still use everything that I had 421 00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:02,800 Speaker 1: been through and all the different experiences in my life, 422 00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:06,040 Speaker 1: and I could bring them to the table into to 423 00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:07,480 Speaker 1: this platform. 424 00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:11,560 Speaker 2: And so it felt natural for sure from the get 425 00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:15,119 Speaker 2: go coaching. As you're saying here, it felt natural. But 426 00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:19,199 Speaker 2: my question then for follow up would be, do you 427 00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:24,000 Speaker 2: remember those early early days of coaching spin and kind 428 00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:27,320 Speaker 2: of getting used to what I mean, I can relate 429 00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:30,560 Speaker 2: as well as someone who coached spin myself, like just 430 00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:33,200 Speaker 2: kind of an out of body experience to be able 431 00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:37,760 Speaker 2: to speak and motivate individuals inside that room, inside of 432 00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:39,119 Speaker 2: a dark room. 433 00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:43,879 Speaker 1: It's definitely a different experience. I think the one thing 434 00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:47,880 Speaker 1: that kind of connected it for me once I got 435 00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:50,399 Speaker 1: on the floor and I was no longer on the bike, 436 00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:53,199 Speaker 1: is that it brought me back to my track and 437 00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:56,960 Speaker 1: field days of having my track coach on the inside 438 00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:59,240 Speaker 1: of the track, like yelling at me what to do, 439 00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:02,399 Speaker 1: and you know, being on that bullhorn and you know, 440 00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:05,720 Speaker 1: giving me my times as I you know, was doing 441 00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:09,840 Speaker 1: my interval training. It brought me back to that, you know, 442 00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:13,160 Speaker 1: it actually felt more natural for me to be on 443 00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:16,439 Speaker 1: the floor and get in the trenches in a different 444 00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:19,399 Speaker 1: way and to move through the aisles and really like 445 00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:23,760 Speaker 1: coach in that way. And for me, I think what 446 00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:29,520 Speaker 1: was so powerful about the experience, unlike you know, being 447 00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:33,479 Speaker 1: on the track, was that here you are in this 448 00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:38,800 Speaker 1: forty five minute you know, session, feeling like you were 449 00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:44,119 Speaker 1: going on this journey where you you know, the athletes 450 00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:47,320 Speaker 1: get on a bike that literally goes nowhere, but yet 451 00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:53,639 Speaker 1: you go so far emotionally, mentally, spiritually, physically, and experiencing 452 00:27:53,720 --> 00:28:00,280 Speaker 1: that journey and having a sense of completion in a 453 00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:05,879 Speaker 1: journey was like that was really extraordinary. Like whereas you know, 454 00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:13,919 Speaker 1: in track and field practice, you have practice, and you 455 00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:16,320 Speaker 1: know the next day is building up for the next day, 456 00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:18,160 Speaker 1: for the next day, for the next day, for this 457 00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:21,880 Speaker 1: race that you're training for, you know, whether it be 458 00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:26,679 Speaker 1: nationals or you know, qualifying or Olympic trials or whatever 459 00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:30,240 Speaker 1: it is. And yet and still in cycle practice we 460 00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:33,959 Speaker 1: do have bigger goals and bigger intentions and you know, 461 00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:39,000 Speaker 1: you know, bigger things that we're accomplishing that then can 462 00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:44,920 Speaker 1: just be accomplished in one practice. However, you can have 463 00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:48,960 Speaker 1: these isolated practices where you feel like you've gone on 464 00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:52,560 Speaker 1: a complete journey, And to me that was extraordinary, Like 465 00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:55,200 Speaker 1: you could literally walk in one way and walk out 466 00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:59,160 Speaker 1: another way. That to me was fascinating. And I don't 467 00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:01,800 Speaker 1: think that that ever gets old. That there feels like 468 00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:08,520 Speaker 1: there's this complete reworking or rewiring that can happen on 469 00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:12,280 Speaker 1: the inside of you in just one cycle practice. Like 470 00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:14,560 Speaker 1: it's that never grows old. 471 00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:18,880 Speaker 2: It never grows old, because it's like what a beautiful 472 00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:19,480 Speaker 2: thing it is. 473 00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:20,680 Speaker 3: To get out of your own way. 474 00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:24,480 Speaker 1: Sometimes, Oh my gosh, it's incredible, it's incredible. 475 00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:25,720 Speaker 3: It is incredible. 476 00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:30,719 Speaker 2: So you, in coaching, in working with so many individuals, 477 00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:33,840 Speaker 2: you have surely by now had the opportunity to motivate 478 00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:38,920 Speaker 2: and inspire so many in this extremely huge developmental period 479 00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:42,200 Speaker 2: for you. When you're on the bike regularly, when you're 480 00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:44,480 Speaker 2: constantly coaching, who are you looking to? 481 00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:47,440 Speaker 3: Who are you looking toward for inspiration for yourself? 482 00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:52,120 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I wake up every morning and 483 00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:54,240 Speaker 1: the first thing I do before I get on my phone, 484 00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:59,240 Speaker 1: before I check messages or emails or even check on 485 00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:03,240 Speaker 1: the kids, just say thank you. Like I have space 486 00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:05,320 Speaker 1: in the morning where I could just wake up in 487 00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:09,400 Speaker 1: gratitude and wake up and you know, just be grateful 488 00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:11,720 Speaker 1: for the fact that I was on the wake up list. 489 00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:13,920 Speaker 1: This morning that I woke up to see another day 490 00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:16,880 Speaker 1: that you know, my eyes are open and you know, 491 00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:20,440 Speaker 1: I get to go through the day not I have to. 492 00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:22,160 Speaker 1: You know, I don't wake up with oh, I have 493 00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:23,560 Speaker 1: to do this, I have to do that, I have 494 00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:25,080 Speaker 1: to do this, I have to do that.

And so 496 00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:32,560 Speaker 1: for me, you know, my spirituality is just a big 497 00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:37,840 Speaker 1: piece for me where I you know, have to stay 498 00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:44,360 Speaker 1: in that state of gratitude and connectivity to something bigger 499 00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:49,040 Speaker 1: than myself. And I'm just I'm grateful for that because 500 00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:55,480 Speaker 1: I don't know how I had managed twenty twenty without that. 501 00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:58,520 Speaker 1: But you know, for me, my spirituality is huge.

So I have 514 00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:47,440 Speaker 1: to have courage in me if I'm encouraging people for 515 00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:53,000 Speaker 1: a living, and so more of the like mental spiritual 516 00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:58,080 Speaker 1: mentors or like where I lean. 517 00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:02,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, And I mean that I get to mindset for 518 00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:06,000 Speaker 2: those individuals that hear that, and that kind of you know, 519 00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:09,360 Speaker 2: brings them that light bulb moment. Maybe they in the 520 00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:14,600 Speaker 2: past have struggled with adopting that positive attitude. For someone 521 00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:18,000 Speaker 2: that has been going through twenty twenty constantly with this 522 00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:21,600 Speaker 2: woe is me mindset, how do they get over that helmp? 523 00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:23,760 Speaker 2: How do they adopt the I get. 524 00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:27,800 Speaker 1: To It's a shift in perspective. It's it's you know, 525 00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:30,840 Speaker 1: you're going to find what you look for. So if 526 00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:33,880 Speaker 1: you search for the good, you'll find it. If you 527 00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:36,320 Speaker 1: search for the bad, you'll find it. You know, if 528 00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:41,520 Speaker 1: you search for the shortcomings in your relationships, that's what 529 00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:45,200 Speaker 1: you'll find. The downfalls, the mistakes that people make, that's 530 00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:47,680 Speaker 1: what you'll find. But if you search for the good, 531 00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:51,239 Speaker 1: you'll find the good. And I think it's just you know, 532 00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:59,520 Speaker 1: choosing to search out the good and really reevaluating and 533 00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:03,640 Speaker 1: looking at your circumstances in a different way. You know. 534 00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:08,040 Speaker 1: So for someone that chooses to be a victim, it's 535 00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:12,239 Speaker 1: really choosing to be victorious and looking and searching for 536 00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:14,520 Speaker 1: all the things that partner with that. 537 00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:18,360 Speaker 2: Someone once told me something that has stuck with me forever, 538 00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:21,840 Speaker 2: and it was this idea of separating fact from feeling. 539 00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:25,240 Speaker 2: And sometimes, for example, i mean we're talking about anxiety 540 00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:29,120 Speaker 2: in twenty twenty, someone's to say I'm an anxious person. 541 00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:33,120 Speaker 2: That sentence is so much different than I feel as 542 00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:35,520 Speaker 2: though I'm an anxious person, right. 543 00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:39,800 Speaker 1: It's what you choose to partner with. For me, the 544 00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:43,840 Speaker 1: other day, I was like, I'm so tired. I told 545 00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:45,920 Speaker 1: one of my coaches at Army. I was like, I'm 546 00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:48,320 Speaker 1: going to stop saying that, Like I have to stop 547 00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:53,800 Speaker 1: like just partnering with that every single day, Like you know, 548 00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:57,920 Speaker 1: like I that's on me, Like, of course, this is crazy. 549 00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:01,480 Speaker 1: We have two kids, I'm you know, homeschooling my kids, 550 00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:05,760 Speaker 1: a brand new business owner or like you know, filming 551 00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:07,840 Speaker 1: you know, for the digital app and this and that. 552 00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:13,240 Speaker 1: I'm I'm going to stop saying I'm tired. Of course, 553 00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:16,840 Speaker 1: this is a challenging season, and everybody's tired, Like this 554 00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:20,279 Speaker 1: is crazy. But I'm going to stop partnering with it 555 00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:23,400 Speaker 1: and letting it, you know, own me and control me 556 00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:26,440 Speaker 1: in the way that I'm I'm giving it power. And 557 00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:33,160 Speaker 1: so I think, you know, there's a lot of choices 558 00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:36,359 Speaker 1: that we could make that are different. I think there's 559 00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:38,640 Speaker 1: a lot of things that we could say about our 560 00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:42,439 Speaker 1: life that could be different. You know, there's so much 561 00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:45,560 Speaker 1: power in our words. There's a scripture that I love 562 00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:47,040 Speaker 1: this as life and death is in the power of 563 00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:49,480 Speaker 1: the tongue. Like we have so much power in our words. 564 00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:54,280 Speaker 1: And so it's really being mindful, being being mindful. People 565 00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:58,840 Speaker 1: think mindfulness is a luxury. Mindfulness is a necessity, Like, 566 00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:01,680 Speaker 1: let's just be mindful.

Like period, you know, I 677 00:42:16,080 --> 00:42:22,680 Speaker 1: was you know, employed prior to leaving Army with a 678 00:42:22,719 --> 00:42:29,440 Speaker 1: company that I began to understand, Wait a minute, we 679 00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:36,480 Speaker 1: don't share the same values and that's not okay. And 680 00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:42,799 Speaker 1: when you understand that, and when that presents itself to you, 681 00:42:42,800 --> 00:42:48,600 Speaker 1: you have a choice to make. And so you know 682 00:42:48,760 --> 00:42:52,960 Speaker 1: your your values or your that's your moral compass, you know, 683 00:42:53,080 --> 00:42:56,200 Speaker 1: that's the thing that you know kind of gives you 684 00:42:56,280 --> 00:42:58,960 Speaker 1: that function on the inside of you where you're like, 685 00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:01,720 Speaker 1: whoa hold up? Like that doesn't feel good, that doesn't 686 00:43:01,719 --> 00:43:04,880 Speaker 1: feel right. And instead of pushing that down and pushing 687 00:43:04,920 --> 00:43:08,520 Speaker 1: that to the side, you know, because you're kind of 688 00:43:08,560 --> 00:43:11,760 Speaker 1: in this place where you'd rather please others or please people, 689 00:43:11,880 --> 00:43:16,640 Speaker 1: and you you know, you put what feels right to 690 00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:22,719 Speaker 1: you as far as morally, you know, that's you wrestling 691 00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:27,719 Speaker 1: with your values. But when you honor those uh regardless 692 00:43:27,719 --> 00:43:30,400 Speaker 1: of what people think, regardless of people's opinion of you, 693 00:43:30,560 --> 00:43:33,719 Speaker 1: regardless you know, if you're going to offend someone, regardless 694 00:43:33,719 --> 00:43:37,720 Speaker 1: if you know, relationships may change or friendships may change, 695 00:43:39,239 --> 00:43:45,120 Speaker 1: you know, continuing to honor those values and those morals 696 00:43:45,520 --> 00:43:49,399 Speaker 1: that will begin to really reveal your team, will really 697 00:43:49,480 --> 00:43:54,000 Speaker 1: begin to reveal your people. And you know, that's how 698 00:43:54,080 --> 00:43:58,080 Speaker 1: Trey and Agen and myself connected was that we shared 699 00:43:58,600 --> 00:44:04,480 Speaker 1: the same values as far as what this fitness industry 700 00:44:04,520 --> 00:44:07,359 Speaker 1: could look like and should be like and what this 701 00:44:07,640 --> 00:44:14,080 Speaker 1: really was. You know, for me, fitness has has little 702 00:44:14,120 --> 00:44:18,040 Speaker 1: to do with you know, aesthetics and how someone looks 703 00:44:18,080 --> 00:44:21,239 Speaker 1: as much as that, you know, is getting strong enough 704 00:44:21,280 --> 00:44:23,240 Speaker 1: in your body to live the life you were created 705 00:44:23,280 --> 00:44:25,560 Speaker 1: to live. If your body is what houses the gifts, 706 00:44:25,840 --> 00:44:28,640 Speaker 1: Let's be strong enough in our body, regardless of the aesthetics. 707 00:44:28,719 --> 00:44:30,759 Speaker 1: Let's be strong enough in our body so that on 708 00:44:30,800 --> 00:44:32,520 Speaker 1: a day to day basis, we can do what we 709 00:44:32,520 --> 00:44:35,480 Speaker 1: were created to do. And that's just that's just a 710 00:44:35,520 --> 00:44:38,600 Speaker 1: different perspective, that's just a different intention. You know, that's 711 00:44:38,640 --> 00:44:43,040 Speaker 1: a different direction that you're going a different focus, and 712 00:44:43,120 --> 00:44:46,760 Speaker 1: so you know, partnering with people that understand a greater 713 00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:49,880 Speaker 1: intention behind fitness was important for me. 714 00:44:50,760 --> 00:44:53,480 Speaker 2: What a beautiful takeaway and what a beautiful direction. If 715 00:44:53,520 --> 00:44:57,480 Speaker 2: tomorrow you had one last opportunity to put one last 716 00:44:57,600 --> 00:45:00,680 Speaker 2: message into the world on your social media, what would 717 00:45:00,719 --> 00:45:01,920 Speaker 2: that message say. 718 00:45:02,719 --> 00:45:05,040 Speaker 1: I think the message that I've been shouting from the 719 00:45:05,120 --> 00:45:09,680 Speaker 1: rooftop for years now is that every single one of 720 00:45:09,719 --> 00:45:13,600 Speaker 1: us was created in purpose, on the purpose, for a purpose, 721 00:45:13,840 --> 00:45:17,680 Speaker 1: and know that there are gifts and talents on the 722 00:45:17,719 --> 00:45:21,240 Speaker 1: inside of you. And one of the most beautiful cycles 723 00:45:21,239 --> 00:45:24,040 Speaker 1: of life is for us to take what we've been 724 00:45:24,080 --> 00:45:27,399 Speaker 1: given and give it back, and to serve each other 725 00:45:27,480 --> 00:45:29,879 Speaker 1: and to serve humanity with what we've been given. That's 726 00:45:29,880 --> 00:45:32,279 Speaker 1: how we push humanity forward, and that's how we can 727 00:45:32,320 --> 00:45:34,480 Speaker 1: make this world a better place. And I know it 728 00:45:34,560 --> 00:45:38,920 Speaker 1: sounds cliche and hallmarky, but I really believe it in 729 00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:41,399 Speaker 1: my heart. Can you imagine if everyone did the thing 730 00:45:41,440 --> 00:45:44,160 Speaker 1: that they were created to do? Can you imagine, you know, 731 00:45:44,239 --> 00:45:46,600 Speaker 1: the peace and the love and the joy and the 732 00:45:46,640 --> 00:45:50,000 Speaker 1: world if we all were doing the thing you know, 733 00:45:50,360 --> 00:45:52,400 Speaker 1: I mean we'd live in a completely different world if 734 00:45:52,400 --> 00:45:54,879 Speaker 1: we were all doing the thing, you know, like it'd 735 00:45:54,880 --> 00:45:58,080 Speaker 1: be so different and be so dope and so happy 736 00:45:58,200 --> 00:46:01,359 Speaker 1: and like, yo, what's up? And you know, people would 737 00:46:01,400 --> 00:46:04,359 Speaker 1: be happy for each other and oh, snap, look at you, 738 00:46:04,360 --> 00:46:07,879 Speaker 1: you're crushing being you. Oh my gosh. You know, we'd 739 00:46:08,320 --> 00:46:11,600 Speaker 1: we'd be able to applaud each other and celebrate each other, 740 00:46:11,680 --> 00:46:15,800 Speaker 1: and we'd come from more of an abundance mentality because 741 00:46:16,160 --> 00:46:19,560 Speaker 1: we know that there's enough for everyone, and everyone has 742 00:46:19,600 --> 00:46:21,719 Speaker 1: their own individual gifts. So I'm not going to hate 743 00:46:21,719 --> 00:46:24,680 Speaker 1: on you and be jealous on you and spew lies 744 00:46:24,719 --> 00:46:27,000 Speaker 1: and crazy stuff about you because I'm in my lane 745 00:46:27,040 --> 00:46:29,640 Speaker 1: doing my thing. I'm doing my thing, you know what 746 00:46:29,640 --> 00:46:33,040 Speaker 1: I mean. So if everyone just did their thing, you know, 747 00:46:33,160 --> 00:46:36,680 Speaker 1: and knew that you see someone doing something great, it 748 00:46:36,719 --> 00:46:39,719 Speaker 1: doesn't mean that you're any less great. Like, discover the 749 00:46:39,760 --> 00:46:43,279 Speaker 1: thing that you're to do and begin to take that 750 00:46:43,360 --> 00:46:45,560 Speaker 1: gift and give it back, and that's what makes you great, 751 00:46:45,800 --> 00:46:48,800 Speaker 1: you know. And I don't know, I just think it changes. 752 00:46:49,760 --> 00:46:52,520 Speaker 2: I'm sitting here smiling. I mean, obviously this makes you 753 00:46:52,560 --> 00:46:54,040 Speaker 2: amped up. What else excites you? 754 00:46:54,120 --> 00:46:54,560 Speaker 3: Right now? 755 00:46:55,160 --> 00:47:00,839 Speaker 1: My kids, we got a puppy this year. That's it's 756 00:47:00,880 --> 00:47:05,600 Speaker 1: my very first dog as an adult. And it's so 757 00:47:05,680 --> 00:47:09,239 Speaker 1: funny when when you have children, you're like, I never 758 00:47:09,320 --> 00:47:11,479 Speaker 1: knew this love, and then when you have a dog, 759 00:47:11,520 --> 00:47:15,000 Speaker 1: it's the same thing. You're like, oh my god. You know, 760 00:47:15,080 --> 00:47:21,280 Speaker 1: this is such a crazy year. And the fact that, 761 00:47:22,160 --> 00:47:25,799 Speaker 1: you know, the silver lining for our family was that 762 00:47:25,840 --> 00:47:29,080 Speaker 1: we got to be in this crazy year together. You know, 763 00:47:29,120 --> 00:47:31,520 Speaker 1: we got to be in this adventure together, that we 764 00:47:32,400 --> 00:47:37,040 Speaker 1: that we we grew closer as a family where we're 765 00:47:37,120 --> 00:47:42,440 Speaker 1: so normally so busy with soccer practice and baseball practice 766 00:47:42,760 --> 00:47:46,000 Speaker 1: and after school activities and being at school all day, 767 00:47:46,200 --> 00:47:50,319 Speaker 1: and then you know that we literally just got to 768 00:47:51,120 --> 00:47:56,239 Speaker 1: wake up and be in each other's faces. Good bad, 769 00:47:56,239 --> 00:48:00,000 Speaker 1: are indifferent.
