Behind the scenes with The Crew…

All week, I’ve been talking about our awesome field trip to 1stPhorm’s HQ here in St. Louis.  Rather than talk about it again, take a look for yourself:  WATCH IT HERE  There was no fluff.   No shortcuts.   Just doing the work.  We don’t care about being fancy — we care about being...

How you do ANYTHING is how you do EVERYTHING

Yesterday, I told you about our recent visit to 1stPhorm HQ, but I couldn’t stop thinking about it last night lying in bed.  Apparently, the experience has left a lasting impression on me.  Specifically, something you hear a lot from them: "How you do anything is how you do everything."​ And how this principle resonates deeply...

Saturday field trip at 1st Phorm: a different culture

This past Saturday morning, 10 of our 18STRONG crew took a field trip to 1stPhorm HQ here in St. Louis. Ryan and I have been there, so we were really excited for some of our local golfers to check it out.Of course, it’s a top notch facility, but what truly left a...

Fat guys with crazy mobility?

One of the biggest mistakes we all make (I still do it all of the time) when it comes to fitness is judging the book by its cover.  When you see a lean guy with low body fat %, I guarantee you assume that he is mobile and stretchy as...

Resting does NOT mean cheating

If you’re following along, yesterday was Easter, which means a lot of food and a few cold beer trappings.  But, it was a Sunday, so why not, right?  Of course, every now and again, it’s fine to over-indulge a bit – we’re here to enjoy ourselves.   However, here’s a problem...

8 mins per day to a creaky-free swing

“Our chairs are killing us!”  I’m sure you’ve heard some version of that the past few years.   My chair has yet to attack me, but I understand the point is that most need to get up and moving to combat a sedentary lifestyle.   More on that in a second… So,...

Where is your “Zone of Success

So, the PGA is taking a page from MLB and testing out a “pitch clock” to speed up the pace of play starting today at the RBC Heritage.  Instead of a pitch clock, they’re going to measure the impact when golfers are allowed to use rangefinders – certainly helps me...

37X better in 12 months

Man, I’m still having a little post-Masters depression today. Hard to believe we’re going to have to wait a full year for the awesomeness again. But, that’s part of what makes it so special. Since we’ve still got Rory on the brain, a top 1% of best golfers all-time, let’s talk about…The 1...

Calories burned walking Augusta

So, the total length of Augusta is around 7,400 yards, which is about 4.25 miles.  Obviously, the golfers don’t walk in a straight line from tee to green, so the typical walk is 6-7 miles per round.  For me, you can safely double it as I’m sure I’d spend most...

The same 4 steps to results…for anything!

Yesterday, yours truly was down at Augusta for Monday’s practice round. And if you’ve been following along, we got rained out. Sure, that’s a long way to go to rained out, but my first experience at the Masters was still awesome. They do soooo many things great. Got me thinking…we...
