COACH JACK

I am a running coach in San Antonio, Texas certified by the United Endurance Sports Coaching Academy (UESCA). I am retired Army and have over twenty years of leadership experiencing guiding, mentoring, and training Soldiers. Leading and mentoring Soldiers at times involved guiding them through personal struggles like addiction, suicidal ideation, marital/family issues, self-esteem issues, etc. I have led thousands of Soldiers, including injured Soldiers and wounded warriors through rigorous and challenging physical training (PT). I can provide this level of training to you. In addition to providing a comprehensive and highly structured running program I will also provide you with the tools of a highly disciplined adult. I meet athletes where they are at physically, emotionally, and spiritually. I will teach you the importance of consistency despite emotions, to liberate yourself from performance hindering habits, to personally hold yourself accountable, and to be patient while you build; all of which will be implemented by a progressive running program. You will surprise yourself and others regarding what you will become in twenty-four months. Yes, I said it, two years! There is no magic pill or quick fix, shortcuts are lies perpetrated by those who prey on the desperate and lazy to make a quick buck. Be willing to work hard every day, because there will be setbacks, some pain, and moments of unhappiness; but you're not here to get happy, you are here to get better. You will shock yourself and those around you in the proper time.

3 BEHAVIORS | TO LIBERATE, TO BELIEVE,  TO LEAD

Emotion should never dictate behavior; behavior should be conducted in a highly discipline robotic state of mind in the morning entirely distinct of emotion. Emotions are fine, everyone has them, but feelings have nothing to do with what you require of yourself when the alarm goes off at 0500 hours. First fix your behavior, then experience the improvement of your overall wellbeing which includes emotions. Become better to feel better, not the other way around.
