Practicing what we teach is a value all of us share on the Reload team. Trust that we have integrity and are passionate about learning by doing.

We all choose to be coaches. So it's important to us that we act like it.

Dr. Joe Lipsky, PT not only finished a half Ironman this summer but completed the triathlon without injury, beat his time AND had fun doing it.

Learn the why and how Joe trained in this episode.

"When you understand what to prioritize and what really matters, you can be efficient with your training" - Dr. Joe

Joe discusses how to tame the voice in your head, the power of being consistent how small things accumulated overtime lead to big accomplishments.

"Your body is truly incredible at adapting as long as you...
1- Understand the science
2- Do a baseline assessment of what your current skills and weaknesses are
3- Understand the goal and bridge the gap" -Dr. Joe
