Still better than nothing...

Sometimes like gets a little hectic, and thats why you need a system that supports your goals

After a 12 hour day I really wasn’t feeling it... This time of year the sun is rising later and setting earlier, meaning sometimes I arrive and leave the gym in the dark

By completing the core 3-4 movements, you can still have a win at the end of the day

If your life is already stressful enough, trying to cram in 60+ minutes of resistance training can sometimes be the catlyst that pushes you over the edge

Most softballers are training like the game is long and slow… but every clutch moment is a 4–10 second EXPLOSIVE effort — swing, sprint, cut, throw — then you’re back to rest.

That’s an ATP-PC dominant sport — high CNS output, high intent, minimal fatigue tolerance needed in the moment.

So if your training is all slow tempo lifts, long circuits, and “feel the burn”… you’re missing the actual demand of the game.

We build your base first — absolute strength through compound lifts gives you the FORCE ceiling (more force = more potential bat speed, more powerful first step).

Then we layer in rotational power — teaching the hips to separate, the trunk to transfer, and the hands to finish like a whip through the zone.

Think: medicine ball slams, rotational throws, banded swings — low load, high velocity, maximal intent every rep.

This is where bat speed jumps, exit velocity climbs, and you start finding gaps instead of hitting straight to fielders.

Same goes for the field — quicker first step, sharper change of direction, stronger throws across the diamond.

My juniors and seniors both train this way — we just scale the load, complexity, and volume to match their training age and capacity.

Train like the game is played — fast, powerful, and intentional… not just tired and sweaty.

DM “Softball” and I’ll send you the exact weekly structure I use with my athletes 🥎

You can out-train your diet… right up until recovery drops, energy tanks, and progress stalls. Your body keeps score—fuel it properly or it’ll kick you in the teeth later

Consistency beats intensity every single time—boring habits build elite results. Perfection burns you out, but balance keeps you in the game long enough to actually win.

Soreness is just a signal, not a scoreboard—adaptation happens when you recover, not when you’re crippled. If you chase pain instead of progress, you’ll miss the results that actually matter. Training certain energy systems requires different amounts of rest and recovery between sets and even concurrent days

It’s not a time problem—it’s a priority problem dressed up as an excuse. Audit your day honestly… the gap between where you are and where you want to be is hiding in plain sight. Your first step to accountability is acknowledgement & awareness. Pull the plug. Start to move

If some of this is too much, consider hiring a coach or mentor to help you build structure and autonomy around your health and fitness

1300 of you legends… so I figured I’d suffer a little for it ❤️

Not quite 1300 reps—but about 85% of a full HYROX because that’s what showing up actually looks like.

Truth is, I wasn’t even “training” for this… just stacking consistent work like I preach every day.

And watching my client go all in for 12 weeks and dominate her HYROX lit a fire I couldn’t ignore.

This is what happens when inspiration meets action—no perfect plan, just ex*****on.

Most people wait until they’re ready… high performers just start and figure it out under fatigue.

If you’ve been sitting on the fence, this is your sign—get uncomfortable and earn it.

Road to 1500… let’s make it hurt 🔥

This is what high performance actually looks like.

Early mornings, long shifts, and still finding a way to train when most would tap out.

isn’t a junior with unlimited time — she’s working full-time as a nurse and still chasing the high performance environment.

Nearly 150 sessions deep under my guidance, and that consistency is starting to show in everything she does.

That means managing fatigue, stress, sleep and still stepping into sessions with intent.

No perfect conditions, no waiting until life “calms down”… just getting it done.

Because performance isn’t built when it’s convenient — it’s built when it’s hard.

We’re not just chasing strength and power, we’re building resilience, discipline and repeatability under pressure.

Every session is a decision to show up as an athlete, not just someone who “used to play.”

And that mindset? That’s what separates those who stay involved… from those who still compete.

Strength isn’t just for sweaty gym bros throwing plates around 🏋️‍♂️

Just ask and who have been getting stronger snd more confident with every session !

It’s for anyone willing to learn, show up, and own their reps.
These two came in unsure, now they’re pressing with intent and confidence.

We dialled in scapular control, bar path efficiency, and full-body tension.

From shaky reps to clean, controlled concentric power.
Building strength isn’t just physical—it rewires how you carry yourself.

Progressive overload, consistency, and buying into the process.

Now the bar moves fast, and so does their belief.

Strong looks different on everyone—but this is what it feels like.

ACL Phase 3 Rehab

Once restored ROM, Quad/Hammy symmetry & almost all that swelling is gone, it’s time to start challenging the system 💪

has been commited AF to his knee rehab journey, completing 3-4 sessions a week

Along with his essentials for the lower limb, Reg is also smashing 2-3 upper body exercises per session to extend rest periods on his legs and get back into previous strength areas for his back & chest

Your coach literally has one job…

While you’re dying of oxygen deprivation, glycogen depletion and old mates banging weights around so loud you can’t even think…

The age old classic “do 2 more” 😂😂

National Athlete Signing 🔥

I’m a couple weeks late on this one, but Softball superstar .therese has joined the Strive To Be program 💪

Em is already striving to be great, having been selected for Queensland and Australia after a couple of fantastic years representing Rockhampton and Capricornia 🥎

We’ve been working immediately on Em’s first 2 steps and improving her acceleration, as well as rotational power and core strength, key components needed to stay in peak form and injury free

My little legend impressed me each and every week with her effort and ex*****on 🔥

Show Em some love in the comments 💪🔥
