In my business (elite level athletic development), there’s a very fine line between selling out and making a living. I’m sure this can be said for many industries but I can’t think of one that this is more true than mine. There are lots of charlatans, bamboozlers, and con-men in my field claiming to be things they are not. They cover up their inadequacies (that they likely aren’t even aware of) with fancy facilities,...

So the update... 

Sorry for the delay. I had a lot going on. The good news is that gives me a lot to update on. Too much, in fact. So I’m gonna try to summarize the past couple weeks as best I can.
