Have I mentioned recently that you are AWESOME! Well you are. Just in case I don’t say it enough. I really appreciate our community of killer peeps. Ski season is running full blast here. Winter sports are in championship mode. But soon enough, we’ll have a transitional time before spring truly arrives. Of course this depends on where you are,…
Anterior Truncal Obesity. Abdominal Fat. Now here’s a popular topic and it’s worth examining. In an ideal world these terms never apply to Lifetime Athletes. But the world isn’t always ideal, even for us health and performance oriented folks. First, let’s set the tone for this brief discussion and make sure it is super clear that this is not a…
Here I stand at TLA, the crossroads of performance and longevity. Trying out some new words. I kinda like the way “perfevity” sounds a little more than “longormance.” What do you think? You can always contact me and let me know your opinion on these terms or even suggest a different, possibly better, one. I don’t own this intersection. It’s…
It can be said that only YOU know your body best. And in most cases that’s true. But self-knowledge is an ongoing process and when we can enhance our understanding of our uniqueness…good things happen. This is both the central tenet of how I work with my coaching clients as well as the theme of a series I’m doing right…

It’s that time of year. While we are not quite at the last minute for our gift-buying endeavors, the season is upon us. Let’s say there is that special someone for whom you’re not sure what to get. He or she is a Lifetime Athlete. You know you want to give them something special that says “I care about you…
I wasn’t exactly sure what I was going to call this post, so it is indeed a report from TLA HQ! Technically, every post I write comes out of the headquarters of The Lifetime Athlete so I guess that’s pertinent. I’ve worked with a couple clients in Europe and South America so I can literally say I’m writing from the…
It’s Thanksgiving time. This is a fabulous time of year when we officially celebrate the end of Autumn, the bountiful harvest, and our good fortune. Beyond the gatherings and turkey dinners, we have many traditions to appreciate the season and opportunities to officially reflect on our gratitude. Today’s missive is entitled “Thanksgiving Thoughts” and it’s a combination of things I’m…
Autumn is an amazing season. It’s my favorite. But I recognize it’s also important to know that every season has its attributes…and we should appreciate them all. But fall, to me, feels even more special. I love the way the light takes on that golden hue, and how the nights are crisp. Ancestrally, fall represented the peak of our hunting…
I thought the title sounded interesting. Honestly, I’m not sure there is anything I’ve got to say about training that is actually revolutionary…but maybe. Today’s commentary is going to focus on the word evolution as it pertains to training. Evolution in the field of biomechanics. Evolution in my own thinking and programming.
