the 4 UpLift Tenets

FIND AND EMBRACE YOUR STRENGTH

Strength is a function of consistently showing up and making the effort: Just Work!

SILENCE FEAR OF FAILURE

Failure is just the beginning. It isn't the end. Take on something new and outside of your comfort zone to prove to yourself that you can. It's the ultimate confidence builder. It will allow you to go further than you could have imagined. Trust in your abilities and trust in your ability to improve.

make your [best] self a priority

Do not accept that making the time to improve yourself is a luxury. Do not accept that destroying your health with poor habits and poor diet are the most accessible forms of therapy and stress relief. Make excelling, on every level, a priority. Do not accept that it is okay to continuously be less than your best self. Set your standards and stand by them.

Train in cycles focusing on developing skill sets and capabilities as well as aesthetics. Build on developments from one training cycle to the next (Stay tuned for the UpLift Training Method). Find something to train for - a race, a team, a competition. Competing motivates by adding layers of incentive and accountability - a deadline, the ambition of winning, which is a major confidence booster, and camaraderie with other competitors and coaches. Staying motivated ensures that you don't give up. Train for life.
