I don’t think that’s the case for anyone, there are plenty of high-level performers where they are over achievers in one area of their life but then lacking in one or many others.
This week I talk about why this statement is not true for almost anyone, also why if you’ve achieved in one area of your life it might be hard to make a change in others.

2023-03-1018 minThe Unstoppable Dad Project3 concepts that determine the success of your training program.Over the last 15 years of coaching, I’ve seen that there are 3 concepts that should be adhered to for a training program to be successful.
These concepts apply to any type of training not just lifting weights, concepts are universal methods change based on goals and circumstances.
There is more than one way to reach a goal however if these 3 are not adhered to the probability of success is extremely low in my experience.

2023-02-1721 minThe Unstoppable Dad ProjectCreating time - 2 Years of the Unstoppable Dad Project Podcast.Wow it’s been 2 years since I did the first episode of the Unstoppable Dad Project podcast, a new episode (almost) every week for the last 2 years.
This week is a bit retrospective looking back at some common themes over the last two years.
The biggest one is creating more time; how do you do it?
Short answer is you can’t, but you can be smarter about how you spend it, for me and a lot of dads it’s a constant battle to find the time to do what’s needed.

2023-02-1021 minThe Unstoppable Dad Project3 things you need to look at before getting back into sport.Getting back into sports in your 30's, 40's and even 50's can be tough. Especially after a long time off or never doing it.
I believe getting back into a community to do some activity can be super important as we get older for our physical and mental health.
But there is nothing worse than getting caught on the injury hamster wheel and not being able to take part.
In this episode I go through 3 things that you need to ask yourself/address before getting back into or starting a new sport.
2023-01-2720 minThe Unstoppable Dad ProjectSoreness and fatigue do not indicate success!Stop chasing soreness and fatigue!
In this episode I discuss why chasing soreness and fatigue is the path to ruin for a lot of people. The old belief that you need to be sore or tired to be successful is false and is moving you further away from your goal rather than closer to it.
I look at the reasons why you don’t want to chase soreness and some tips on how you can minimize it.
