Mr. Healthy Mondays: The perfectly packed travel bag

Due to weather issues in New Orleans and some AVP announcements, we took a week off from posting. I wrote this article before the New Orleans tournament.

Mr. Healthy Mondays: Turn Diets into long-term Eating Habits

Depending on how long you’ve been reading my stuff, you may have noticed a shift in rhetoric from me the last couple years. My story started when I was about 25. I had just started breaking onto the AVP scene, but had nothing on my resume to speak of beside a qualification or two. I…

Mr Healthy Mondays: Conservation

I was racking my brain thinking what I should write about this week.  I kept telling myself, “I don’t feel like recycling an old topic, I’d like to write about something new.”  That’s when it hit me, I should write something about recycling and reducing our impact on the planet and consuming a little smarter. …

Mr Healthy Mondays: Try a little harder to be a little better

It’s a question I get frequently from players and fans both wanting the same thing: better results. We all want to take care of our bodies, but I feel like I have gotten very consistent objections throughout the years as to why someone can’t.  They include, “I don’t have time, I don’t have the money,…

Time.  The one thing we never have enough of, the one thing we can never get back.  There would be a real irony with that if I wrote an article that took too much time to read. So here goes trying to pack a significant concept into a small amount of words. There are only…

Mr Healthy Mondays: Nutrition Advice for Athletes

I mentioned from the outset of writing these articles for #MrHealthyMondays that frequently, topics come from readers who inquire about certain things.  Thank you Evan for bringing something up that is both the source of frustration and opportunity for me.

Mr Healthy Mondays: Building Muscle

Just because that guy at the gym who looks like a tank is drinking down 3 scoops of protein powder before he gets to his car, doesn’t mean that’s how you build muscle. Like everything else that happens in your body, building muscle is a science as well.  Everyone is different, sure, but there are…
