Skin in the Game
I believe in having "skin" in the game and practicing what you preach and teach. There are so many in today's Fitness, Personal Training and Combat Sports that have never actually walked the walk yet they're somehow an "Expert" in said field.
I say if you've never actually done what you're teaching then you are nothing more than a FAKE.
Be weary of who you choose to work with and take instruction from. I believe in practicing what I preach. There are far too many "pretenders" out there that have no skin in the game training people. They look like crap, have a dad bod, frumpy, disheveled and fat. Or they are on "SPECIAL" medicine and when off said "SPECIAL" medicine they look like a bag of milk or Grimace from Mcdonald's.
Yet these people have all sorts of degrees with a bunch of letters after their names.
I'm here to tell you that RESULTS determine how smart you are not a DEGREE.
But, what do I know...I'm just some disgruntled, ugly bald guy that looks like "TIGGER" on social media.
Tread carefully.
