Teach4Endurance

In this episode of Teach4Endurance, let's take a unique approach by drawing lessons from a chapter in my book, Teach4Endurance: Surviving the Swim, Bike, and Run In Today's Classroom. Inspired by the chapter "Peripheral," we delve into the importance of being aware of what's around us, not just what's directly in front of us. Using the past global situation with COVID-19 as an "ultimate classroom setting," we can reflect on how society's focus on immediate gains has led us to miss crucial warnings from Mother Nature. With engaging anecdotes from racing, life, and world events, the podcast challenges listeners to prioritize health, empathy, and environmental responsibility. Tune in for a thought-provoking conversation that encourages proactive action and a reevaluation of what truly matters in life.Note: The intro/outro/backing track is a composition of mine titled Victorious.

This is the second in a series of "chill sessions". These are usually shorter than most episodes, maybe sometimes more poignant, but still encompassing the endurance lifestyle.What is perspective?

This is the first in a series of "chill sessions". These are usually shorter than most episodes, maybe sometimes more poignant, but still encompassing the endurance lifestyle.Quite honestly, human beings can be quite the selfish and self-righteous bunch. Often, we believe the world (or life) owes us something; or if something goes wrong, we look for anything or anyone to blame, before looking at ourselves.Note: Song intro/backing/outro is a song I've written titled, "Learn the Way".

I want you to get these three letters in your head: QTR. What does this seemingly random acronym even mean?Note: Song intro/backing/outro is a song I've written titled, "Summer's End".

As a species, we feed off of our surroundings. The uglier, more hateful, negative, etc. they are, whether internally or externally (or both); it affects all of us. Think of it this way. If a child grows up in a home where there is only loud arguing and violent outbursts, etc.; he/she will carry this with them throughout their days (and at some point, will more than likely, act out in a similar manner). Our nurturing/surroundings create our physical, mental and spiritual being. Note: Song intro/backing/outro is a song I've written titled, "Imagine a Day".
