I hope every one has enjoyed their winter! Daylight is starting sooner, lasting longer, and I can feel my body desperate for sunshine and warmer days spent outside!
It’s March, which means naturally March Madness is at the front of my brain.
While there are few things in life that I love more than watching college softball in the Spring, I can get behind watching any sport where raw passion fuels the competition.
What I feel is often forgotten, while tuning in, are the hours and hours of hard work and dedication that elite athletes INVEST into their craft. It is not by chance, luck, or a lack of effort --I can assure you that.
They put in time because they LOVE the grind, and desire to be the best. They bought into the idea early on that effort = success.
While I would LOVE to spend my entire day giving lessons, hosting workouts, and talking to the youth about nutrition and body positivity, there is just simply not enough hours to spare. Working 45+ hours as an insurance agent, practicing yoga, and squeezing in as much time as I can in the kitchen and with my loved ones doesn't allow for me to spend multiple nights a week at the facility.
All that being said, my goal has always been to support, encourage, and motivate your daughters to WANT TO be the best they can be. Thankfully I have a tribe of inspiring friends who equally want to impact the next generation as badly as I do.
Starting next week, while I am already fully scheduled with hitting lessons from 5:30-9:00pm, Nicole Nickoson who helped in years prior with speed and agility, played with me at Purdue North Central, and is a Mystique alum, is offering 30 minute intense workouts.
2 players per 30 min slot, $15 per girl. The small numbers will allow for intimate instruction, and The opportunity to modify where necessary.

SPEED AND AGILITY IS OVER.
Every year I find myself anticipating the beginning of group workouts, and questioning whether or not the new group coming in will stack up to the kids from prior years.
Will they work hard?
Will they WANT to come or will their parents MAKE them?
Will they learn to love the grind?
Yearn for the feeling of accomplishment when they leave?
Every year, I am impressed.
We celebrated our last session with a 12 days of FITmas workout, an obstacle course competition, dodgeball, Christmas attire, and holiday jazzy rice cakes.
So thankful for the opportunity to work with these girls.
Wishing all my players and their families a very happy holidays.

Savory or sweet that is the question!

This stud cleared this bad boy on her FIRST jump. THEN started a chain reaction of older players giving it a shot & slaying it.
Beyond impressed with what our girls are capable of every week.

A question I often ask my young players:
"Who are you when no one is looking?".
The moments that define who we truly are, are created when no one is watching. When our heart pushes us to do something simply because it calls to be done. When we choose to go the extra mile because it betters our body. Doing all that has been asked of us even though that person has their back turned.
Do you do all your reps or do you cheat yourself?
Do you follow that meal plan or are you stopping at a drive-thru on your way home and eating it before you get around others?
Success happens when we are consistent in our mission to achieve our goals even when no one is there to praise us.

Ahem, is this thing on?
So many reasons to be plant based:
Health driven
Equality driven
Eco-driven…
Whatever the motive- it’s a lifestyle I couldn’t encourage more.
While I chose to begin eating a plant-based diet for the benefit of my own physical body. The focus has predominantly shifted towards my morals, ethics and MY heart. It has become difficult to un-see and ignore the information I’ve come across while immersing myself into the world of veganism. Foods that were once so appealing have become appalling.
I am not here to judge or shame.
Simply to encourage + be a light to shine out the way I live.
If I can provide any feedback to you on my experiences thus far.. know you can always reach out. Nothing but love for ya; let’s make the world a better place and start making conscious decisions.
