Gold Standard Performance

Very proud of another GSPI athlete, Emeri Sager, on her first healthy appearance at state due to her ankle injury she had her freshman year.

Sager came to GSPI a little over 2 months ago running a 2:33 800m dash and in that time we got her time down to a 2:24! She definitely has a lot more in the tank for her Junior and Senior season!

I can’t wait to see how far she goes!

At GSPI this is what we do!

A thought occurred to me while I was out taking passes today and that is that nobody is running your race for you so why do we try to fit ourselves within a standard of someone else’s expectations?

Why is the bar always set so low for those no longer competing?

We need to give ourselves consistent hard working habits that request a health demand load to our bodies daily so we can allow our natural physiological processes (hormones, digestion, circadian rhythms, cortisol, androgens, etc) to cycle properly.

This in turn naturally supports solid mental and physical health.

The body REQUIRES THE PHYSICAL DEMAND TO MAINTAIN GOOD HEALTH.

Why is it that most don’t want more than just to be out of pain or lose a couple of pounds and settle after settle after settle?

Truth is that it doesn’t have to be like what others tell you your life has to be. One of the most selfless acts for your loved ones is to take care of yourself. So why set the bar at Temu value when they and you deserve much much much more?

Just because I’m 30 doesn’t mean I can’t train like this and that doesn’t mean you can’t either. Life is all about choices and we become those choices over time; whether that’s positive or negative.

So do you want to be a product of your environment or do you want to and take back control of your circumstances?

Yes, this is a callout to all adults that want to take their life back- I do not only just train young athletes.

We don’t start here either. We meet you where you are and scale you up to feats such as sprints, jumping, lifting etc.

You owe your good health to the ones that come after you. Enrich your family with the wealth that is your health and be there for your family when it matters most.


Note: This was not a complete warmup and workout. This is only a shortened version of my sprints today.

Here at GSPI we love to set the standard; set the tone.

Our athletes are met at there limitations and situations on day 1 and are taken to new heights and begin to realize how capable they truly are. It changes their trajectory for the rest of their life. The exposure to proper demands are what we strive for to mold your athlete or yourself as an adult to your own new standard. Do yourself a favor and contact us for private lessons and elevate your expectations for yourself or your athlete. You owe it to yourself.
