Stuff To Read While You’re Pretending To Work: 2/5/16

Going to keep this quick today because I am the master of procrastination and have a boatload of catching up to do on programs, writing, probably watching Netflix (who am I kidding?). But as my good friend, Ben Bruno, always states: “If you wait till the last minute, it only takes a minute.” I swear,… Read more

I’m sitting here at home in the throes of the dreaded “window” you’re given when you’re expecting delivery on something. In this case it’s furniture my wife and I ordered a few weeks ago. 8-2 is what I was told. And all I can think about is that I’m going to end up looking like… Read more

My wife left for Florida last weekend for a Jedi mind-trick psychology conference, and I’ve taken full advantage of her absence living the bachelor lifestyle as a result. Note to Lisa (if you’re reading this): these will be taken care of before you come back. Promise. I love my wife, and I love spending time with… Read more

A few things before I defer you to this week’s list of stuff to read. 1) Fargo. Not the city, the show.  It’s amazing. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve been to Fargo and it (and the people) is lovely….but the show is rocking my world right now. If it weren’t weird (and impossible) I’d totally… Read more

Stuff To Read While You’re Pretending To Work: Kicking Off 2016

It feels so weird to be typing the numbers “2016” doesn’t it? Time truly does fly. This year will mark a full decade living in Boston for me. In that time I’ve survived living with Eric Cressey, helped co-found Cressey Sports Performance, never used the phrase “wicked pissah” once in a sentence, and have had… Read more

Oh, wait….what was that? There’s a Star Wars movie opening today? Huh, never heard of it. Okay, I’m kidding. This was more or less how excited I was when I woke up this morning:   Sadly, and I know this going to sound odd and result in me losing some nerd points, but I am… Read more

I’m taking the day off from training clients tomorrow to head to Ranfone Training Systems (CT) to listen to Dan John speak. My wife had to re-schedule a glass blowing class she had signed us up for months ago, because I was like “babe, it’s Dan John. Come on.” And I totally got out of… Read more

A few housekeeping things to hit on before we dive into this week’s list. 1) A quick reminder that I will be in Frisco, TX on Sunday, December 27th doing a 1-day workshop on “The Athletic Shoulder” at Full Throttle Athletics. I’ll discuss things like upper extremity assessment (static and dynamic), why the term “shoulder… Read more
