February 09, 2022 13:00 - 54 minutes - 49.6 MBIt is that simple, but we know it is not always that easy to implement.

513. You are not reacting to the problem...you are reacting to the pain caused by the problem
February 07, 2022 13:00 - 31 minutes - 28.5 MBWe have been guilty of every struggle we talk about with regards to affiliate ownership, 10x over. Which is why we so passionately speak on box ownership and why we want to help you. So often, affiliate owners point to one thing that is causing them the most trouble as a business owner and that is what they need help with. But is that the actual problem? Or is what you are experiencing pain caused by the real problem at hand? What is the root cause? You might think ...

511. If you do not know the points of performance, you are a circus clown
February 02, 2022 13:00 - 32 minutes - 29.8 MBAt the very least, it is difficult to consider yourself a coach without knowing the points of performance. There are not that many anyway..so just know them. If you just know them, you won't have to waste any mental space trying to recall them while you are coaching. They will always be there at your disposal. If you want to play this game call coaching, you have to know the rules. And the points of performance are the rules. Two weeks from today we want you to have memorized the POP's. ...
510. You need intensity to get where you want to go
January 24, 2022 13:53 - 39 minutes - 36.3 MBIntensity, when combined with variance, will naturally modulate. However we should still intentionally turn the knob of intensity.

509. It is better to know what you will NOT tolerate than what you will
January 19, 2022 13:54 - 39 minutes - 35.9 MBIf you would pay money to actually get rid of a member that you do not like...why are you letting them stay? That bad apple is not just bothering you. Your members are also bothered. But you are the one in a position to do something about it. So, remove them from your community. But do so in a respectful way. Do not burn bridges. Do not fly off the handle. Do not take things personally. Do not make assumptions. Most importantly, do not tolerate the things y...
508. Movement is movement, absent of face or name
January 17, 2022 13:00 - 1 hour - 71.7 MBFaults are black and white. Are their elbows in the right place - yes or no? There is no "kind of" or "sort of". It is a yes or no question. Whether you've known your athlete for a long time or you are watching someone move for the very first time...a fault is a fault. Be relentless. Movement is movement, absent of face or name.

507. Small changes, when done consistently over time, yield massive results.
January 14, 2022 13:00 - 38 minutes - 35 MBBox Owners seem to want to try and do everything at once, and that will not produce what you hope and might even be detrimental to the long term results you desire. Start small and create a snowball effect. It is like Chuck Carswell says at the end of the L1 Seminar weekend: "You just drank from a fire hose, do not go back to your affiliate and try and change everything at once." It just takes small consistent changes. Are you willing to put in the work for the long haul to make things h...

January 12, 2022 13:11 - 30 minutes - 27.8 MBIf you have a gut reaction to something, do not immediately put your thoughts out there for the world to see. Take a minute and actually think about what you are doing. Why are you having this reaction? Are you making assumptions? Are you taking things personally? The short of it is: think before you act. Remember that you are a leader in YOUR community and act like it. ________ So you never miss an episode, subscribe on YouTube and on all major podcasting platforms at Best Hour of Their...

November 10, 2021 13:47 - 50 minutes - 42.3 MBA time cap is a useful tool only in the event things have gone wrong through the course of your class.

471. Do you want to get more fit or do you just want to work out more? They are not the same thing.
October 20, 2021 12:46 - 37 minutes - 34.1 MBHigh intensity is often misunderstood and is oversimplified in the definition of CrossFit. Intensity is not just how hard you go in workouts, it is the frequency with which you workout. If you think about it with respect to the Sickness-Wellness-Fitness Continuum, fitness is a hedge against sickness. Therefore, too much intensity will actually prevent you from pushing to the side of fitness. The same "constantly varied" you do in the gym should apply to outside of the gym. So get out of yo...

October 11, 2021 12:00 - 48 minutes - 44.7 MBThere is a reason nutrition is at the bottom of the pyramid for the theoretical hierarchy of an athlete - the only way to build a house with a strong foundation is from the ground up. Start from inside your body and work your way out.
