The Everyday Responder
The Everyday Responder:
- Sustainability
- Competitive Integrity
- Human, not hardware
These core values will help become the tactical athlete you know you need to be. Over the last several years, I've helped hundreds of tactical athletes (perhaps like yourself) unlock 24/7/365 staying power, unlock their competitive edge, and respond to life's challenges.
This podcast will be a combination of thoughts, perspectives, strategies, and tactics on all things strength and conditioning, nutrition, lifestyle, and mindset. In addition, we will have insights from professionals that share our mission. In each episode, we will offer both strategic and tactical level takeaways so you will never let momentum get to 0.
One last question: If you needed to be saved, would you want you saving you?
