Phenomenal experience @hyroxworld in Boston. While I’ve enjoyed hybrid training for a while, finally getting to race has taken everything to a new level. I’m beyond grateful to have my strong, amazing wife @deborahjhorton and my courageous little warrior Callia there cheering and supporting. And massive gratitude and appreciation to @mcurcio44 for bringing his World Champ experience and support in my corner for the whole damn race 😤#ironsharpensiron

First race done. The foundation has been laid. The climb continues ⚔️

It’s truly an honor to lead by example, to walk the talk, for my daughter that we can feel discomfort and continue to push and fight and find that next gear. Even when nerves or pre-race jitters show up (as we discussed on the day), we still find the confidence, the courage and meet the moment head on. I’m grateful and blessed to continue putting in the work in all ways to continue evolving - physically and emotionally - for myself and for my family.

Amazing Father’s Day Eve watching @nycharging play @wllcharm in the @wll inaugural season. Catching t-shirts, getting autographs and photos with the team, and getting on the dance cam?! Doesn’t get much better 😎 🥍 We have a future pro here.

Big thanks to @bkcrescentslacrosse for organizing!

Do you want to break the cycle?

It’s okay for them to have big feelings.
To make mistakes.
To get mad .. even if it’s at you.
To be sad about something that doesn’t seem important to you.

Just like all of that was okay for you as a child.

Except you might not have heard that when you needed it most.
And if you never received that compassion,
that reassurance …

This is your chance to break the cycle and teach them how to handle their emotions.

Instead of how to repress them.
And to feel not good enough.
Unworthy.

This is big work.
Healing work.

I’m here for you when you realize you can no longer do it alone.

Just know that’s a choice you’re making.

Let’s deal with whatever IT is when it’s lighter and fresh,
not after it has set in for too long and gotten heavier.

We’ll do something when there’s a deadline.
When there’s an ultimatum.
When we’ve hit rock bottom.

And it doesn’t have to be that way.
You can get ahead of the shit before it feels all encompassing.

Whatever is pushed to the side of the plate,
maybe even off the plate (temporarily or not actually) …
Is never really gone.

It will come back.
It will manifest in physical and emotional issues.
And it will be heavier, likely more complicated, and definitely more uncomfortable to deal with.

If you’re having trouble figuring out how/where to start,
how to make progress when feeling stuck …
You’re trying to figure out the actions,
the next steps …

This is what we help you with at
The Above Average Foundation.

Wherever you are in the journey,
let’s take it together.

The free guide in the bio is your gateway.
Tap in.

You might have received the messaging when you were younger that:
You’re only worthy of love, of acceptance, when you’re performing well or proving yourself to earn your place.

You aren’t enough just as you are - you have to excel.
You have to be the best if you want to be seen as enough.

And you no longer have to live this way.
You are enough.
You are worthy.
Just as you are.

Your family doesn’t need another trophy.
Another award.
Another bonus that came from you not being around.
A tighter six-pack because you spend all your time working out.

They just need you there - present, grounded, stable.

We are in a performance-driven society.
One that quietly says “Prove how successful you are”
“Prove how great you are”

The messaging exists that “you have to be better than you are” -
While subtly implying ‘Because you’re not good enough.’

I am all for self-improvement.
But it’s always from a place of self love, self led energy.

Not from a place of
-Performance
-Proving
-Self sacrificing
-Ego driven

From a place of wanting to be a more compassionate, authentic, patient, connected human.

A man with a self-regulated nervous system.

When you’re ready to do the real work,
go to the link in bio.
That’s where your journey begins.

Physical fitness
Emotional health
Physical & Emotional Intimacy
Professional achievement
Presence at home

You’re probably killing it in one or two of these areas
And the others feel like a challenge

Even though you’ve done the things
the “people of authority” said would bring you comfort

You seek external fulfillment
And while the picture might look nice
The inner world feels chaotic
Feels empty
Alone
Disconnected

And the spiral continues

Until you say: Enough is enough

Because it’s what you heard when you were younger and you made a mistake.

And those external voices from authority figures became internal voices.

The Inner Critic
The Critical Inner Parent

Shame will absolutely destroy your relationship with yourself, and by nature with others.

It’s powerful and insidious.

There is a difference between taking accountability for your actions - righting a wrong, when necessary - then being kind to yourself and moving forward.

Vs. taking accountability then allowing the inner critic to tear apart your inner world.

Learning to navigate and get some new tools in the belt are just one of many things we do at The Above Average Foundation.

Asking for help can be really difficult. Reach out when you’re ready.

Some times you have to tune everything out and go all in.

Singular focus.

Work. Grind. Full speed.

There is a time and a place.

It can’t be this all day, everyday.

You’re asking for breakdown.
For disconnection.

Short term, you’ll get that win.
Stay in it for too long and there will be plenty of loss.

And now the work is revealed:
Consistently showing up
with intentional action
and appropriate intensity
for what the moment demands.

Stop backing down from the uncomfortable moments.

You will not be judged by anyone who matters for getting outside your comfort zone and doing deep, authentic physical and emotional work.

Somewhere along the way you might have subconsciously learned to avoid discomfort.

Maybe you were never given the tools to navigate those moments.

These moments are gifts for continued growth.

In them, we might feel exposed.

Potentially vulnerable.

By choosing to go outside our comfort zone, stay present and feel all of it … and apply the lessons learned …

Not only do we grow, but we start teaching ourselves that we are still safe even if it feels uncomfortable.

It isn’t easy.

And it’s necessary to continue revealing the greatness inside you and all around you.
