Recently at Cressey Performance, we started a “Quote of the Day” board. They range from anything inspirational: “The only time success comes before work is the dictionary,” (from legendary football coach Vince Lombardi) to motivating: “There’s two things female athletes need; balls and hamstrings. And since girls don’t have balls, they need more hamstrings,” (Eric Cressey) to factual: “Tony, you’re the best trainer ever. Wanna make out?” (from Jennifer Garner to me……….last week……….in my dreams).
However, last week we had a quote from a client of ours that truly speaks volumes for the type of attitude that we try to instill here at the facility:
“If it ain’t deadlifing, it ain’t worth it.”
This coming from a client who before he started training with me a few months ago, had never touched a weight in his life and was an avid runner (still is to a degree). Needless to say, it brought a tear to my eye. My boy is all growns up.
