The Monday Report
May 29th, 2023| Happy Memorial Day. Remember, you define what is important in your life. It's mid year, are you still on track with the mission you set for yourself? Check in and execute.
“Success is peace of mind that is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you made the effort to become the best that you are capable of becoming.”
– Coach John Wooden
Personal Update
Morning came early today, I ended up waking up at 2am and just couldn’t go back to sleep. It’s just going to be one of those days, good thing these are few and far between now that I have worked on my sleep consistency.
Last week I had breakfast with my friend and we got to talking a lot about the future because he will be moving to a new state and starting a new career soon. Things haven’t nessesarily gone as smoothly as he hoped or was promised, but his outlook and ability to focus on the open doors instead of the ones that closed was the highlight of the breakfast.(and the pancakes, they were awesome too). He wasn’t thrilled about the fact that his start date for the new job was pushed back, but when he really looked at the situation he said “this means I have opportunities to learn and prepare for my new life that wouldn’t have been there before”, and then started talking about his plan of attack. That stuck with me; his tenacity to focus on the mission he set for himself and to remain flexible in accomodating the things outside of his control.
Fantastic Podcast I listened to last week
The Future Of Fitness Podcast: May 9th - The state of coaching in 2023 with Tony Gentilcore.
Show Notes: Tony is also one of the co-founders of Cressey Performance, located in Hudson, MA, where he works with a wide variety of clientele ranging from Major League baseball players to high school athletes (and everything in between). Tony is a regular contributor to Testosterone Magazine (T-nation.com), Livestrong.com, as well as Men’s Health Magazine. For more information, you can check out his website at TonyGentilcore.com
My Notes: Tony speaks from the perspective of a vet in the industry. I hesitated to call him a vet because he isn’t “old” per say, but he has a long career that spans many different “innovation” periods in the industry. He speaks candidly about the current state of the industry, and how future technologies can and will play an impact on the client experience we want to deliver to our clients. I enjoyed his optimistic look toward the future of the industry because his focus is all on how we can use new technology to aid us in delivering a better, more personalized experience for our clients. It doesn’t have to replace us, and we have the opportunity to optimize more systems within our business.

I will be closing this Trello Projects update board: Completed.
June 1st, 2023 is coming up literally this week. Be on the lookout for some cool ways to support FITLETE and look really cool at the same time. I need to market FITLETE more and it’s going to begin with a cool bag, a shirt and of course a hat( I love hats). Wow, I can’t keep a surprise lol.
June 1st has been the date I set for myself to start rolling out the new FITLETE. A lot of challenges have been battled in sticking with this timeline, but it will start in June…slowly.
