“When a client believes they cannot complete a task and says ‘I can’t’ or ‘It’s too hard’ before trying, they set themselves up for failure before they even begin. You will overcome your fears but you have to try first.”

“I hate texting, talking on the phone, or emailing while training. You lose focus, and it is a complete and utter waste of time. It’s annoying to not only the trainer but to others around you.”
