Humbled

So I am about 2.5 weeks into my Internship at Athletes' Performance. I lean something every couple of minutes. The caliber of people that work here are amazing. Seriously the coaches are some of the best in the world. I'm really honored and fortunate enough to have this 4 month opportunity to work along side the industry leading team in sports performance.

It has definitely been an adjustment moving working here. I'm in a house with 7 other people and this is my first time having roommates. It definitely presents some challenges but also gives me a chance to learn and become friends with some cool people from across the world. I like the opportunity it gives me to exercise patience and practice being considerate of others .We all get along pretty well and stay out of each others way. If this were the "real world" tv show, it would be pretty fucking boring.

I've gained 10-12 pounds since I have been here. Week one I weighted in at 178 about a week later I tipped the scales at 188 and now i'm around 189-190. I've been eating a little more now, over the summer I was at around a 10-15% calorie deficit . One of my goals is to try and put on 10 pounds of muscle in 4 months. They have an in house nutrition team that I am looking to get some guidance from to help reach that goal. I also started taking some creatine pre workout to see how it would effect me and If i would gain much from it. Still to early to tell. All I can say are pull ups feel harder, but I feel stronger and faster with all the movement training I started incorporating.

So far this situation has definitely solidified something I've thought about for a long time. That is you mimic the people you surround yourself with. I feel like working at such a premier place has made me up my own game in coaching, seeking knowledge and my own training.

I want to keep the updates coming, new phone should be happening in the next couple weeks. This means more videos with much higher quality.
