This might come across as a completely random blog post, but in light of the time of year and the fact that I have five accountants in my family, I’m going to write it anyway.
If you are a trainer who does your own taxes, you are an idiot.
Yes, you’re dumber than the guy doing [...]

I had a great weekend at a Postural Restoration Institute Myokinematic Dysfunction course, so it seems fitting that my first reading recommendation of the week would direct you to their website: Postural Restoration Institute.  There are a lot of free articles that give you a good introduction to the PRI philosophy.  I’d highly recommend checking [...]

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!  I was actually going to take today off - not just in honor of my Irish heritage, but because I was hoping to work from home and catch up on work.  As it turns out, I went in to the facility for our staff in-service (given by Brian St. Pierre, who [...]

1.I spent about 2.5 days in Las Vegas earlier this week to present at the NSCA Personal Trainers Conference.  I really enjoyed the event, as it was a chance to interact with a lot of new people (I don’t speak out west very often) and hopefully help some enthusiastic, up-and-coming trainers add to their skill [...]

In my last blog post, I talked about the professionalism side of things with respect to narrowing down our applicant pool for Cressey Performance internships.  Today, I want to talk about a few more things an applicant can do to separate himself/herself from the remaining pack at final cuts.
