Gaining Some Credentials
It’s been quite a long time since I wrote any new articles. And that isn’t for no good reason. I spent the past half year preparing to take the CSCS exam. I set this goal to keep busy amidst the insanity of 2020. And I made a commitment to refrain from other pursuits until this was completed. I know that if I try to do too many different things at the same time I’ll lose focus. I’d rather set some things aside and give one pursuit all of my attention. By keeping my eye on the prize I passed the test a couple of days ago. I am now a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist.

I’d been thinking about getting some credentials in this area for quite some time. If I’m going to create content that will help people in their efforts to sharpen up in all ways, I now feel a bit more qualified. I’ve been in this game for a long time. And have developed my own views on strength, fitness, wellness, nutrition, and mindset. I’ve tried a lot of things personally and feel I’ve got a solid grasp on what works. But I definitely gained a lot of new insight that will inform my writing going forward.
I also plan to start working with some clients 1-on-1 (if you’re in the Tampa Bay or Denver areas of the USA feel free to reach out in the comments if interested in strength coaching). But I’m also very excited to get back to writing and content creation again. This virtual medium is so remarkable in it’s ability to reach far and wide. And even during my recent hiatus people continued to read my articles and sign up to my email list. It was a testament to the power of the written word and it’s ability to endure. Once it’s created it takes on a life of its own. I’m extremely grateful for every person that found value in my thoughts and experiences from training and living!
So just a quick post to say hello again, and share what is for me an exciting update on what I’ve been doing and learning. Looking forward to bigger and better things in 2021.
