Description: It's time for a Listener Q&A. These are some of my favorite episodes. I asked you guys to give me questions on IG on literally any topic - life, travel, fitness. I'll be answering them rapid fire, but since I'm long winded it won't be THAT quick. I have no prepared answers and have not looked through them, so I have no idea how long this will take. I hope to answer as swiftly and clearly as possible, and the questions will be anonymous. Below are an abbreviated version of my answers, for the full response, tune in to the podcast.So, without further ado, let's dive in. If you could be a strength and conditioning coach for any team who would it be? I would be a coach for MMA or wrestling because I've always been drawn to those sports - even since high school. My husband was a training partner for Rick Story and I have never taken part in martial arts but have been a huge fan of martial arts for a very long time. Not necessarily a team but type of athlete would be men or women in mixed martial arts. Where to start with setting time, emotional boundaries and energy management? I can schedule and time block block but keeping energy and focus is tough. Hard to answer because I don't know what you've tried specifically. If you have written a schedule and time blocked and you're having trouble keeping energy and focusing doing those things, then I would look at a few things. How long are you giving yourself and what is the expectation during that time block? For example, it can be really overwhelming if I say "finish BBA home plus." That involves me creating 12 different phases of programming. Instead of writing a task that involves 12 other tasks, break it down into smaller, more digestible pieces because that makes you feel like you have to focus on smaller bits at a time. That has worked for me. I learned that I really only like to focus for 1-2 hours at a time, then I have to take a break (walk, eat, scroll IG). I enjoy doing those things and am more productive if I do those things every 1-2 hours. And then get back to work of course - don't go on a downward spiral of not being productive, but I do think it is a learning process with you and yourself. If you find yourself not continuing to focus, ask yourself, is the time block that you have too large? Or the task in the time block too overwhelming? I'd love to hear more about your competitive cheer experience...how did you get started? I was the little sister that wanted to do everything my big sister did. She played soccer, I played soccer (even though she only played 3 years, I played through high school). She did competitive cheerleading and my mom would have to work so she would drop me off at my sister's practices - so I sat and watched. This is where I met Paige Major - who I cheered under, then cheered for and worked with. And who is now my branding photographer and strategist. Basically I did it because my sister did it. I loved the work ethic, loved the team aspect of it. Everyone on the competitive cheer squad has a purpose. It is not like soccer; you are not as replaceable. There is a dependability in competitive cheerleading, it's another level of camaraderie and teamwork that I found really appealing. Started middle school, did it through high school. I decided not to do it in college but then started coaching right off the bat. I wasn't really keen on leaving my hometown, I didn't want to go away to college. Probably could've cheered most places, and some coaches were disappointed....but you know me and you know I do what I want haha. Coached for 10 years before we started traveling the world. Whats your advice if you have two groups of ideal clients? Your two groups of ideal clients are strength and conditioning for gymnastics and general population. I would say focus on one of those first, especially if this is online. Focus on your offer and relationship with one of those groups first,
