Since I finished playing football
everything’s gone into building something
I opened a gym,
Closed it
Moved across the other side of the world, & worked hard along with my wife to get to a settled spot
The golf clubs in the photo are the first thing I’ve bought in a decade that has nothing to do with work
I’ve been thinking about one word lately
balance
What it actually means, not the Instagram version
I asked myself this week where I’m disciplined and where I’m not
Work, yeah
Training, yeah
Switching off, being at home properly, doing something just because I enjoy it
Not so much
So that’s the bit I’m working on
Right now it looks like this
Early to bed
Up early to train
sauna, meditation and journalling most mornings
Eating well without tracking a thing
A biscuit with a cup of tea at night
Being as present as I can with my boy and my wife
And still chipping away at the things I want to get better at
That’s what it’s all about for me
And the job is helping each person I work with find what theirs is
You don’t have to start coaching to get shredded
Most of my clients have physique goals,
but there’s also a lot more to it than that
And if you think otherwise, you’re missing a trick
