What’s the biggest insight or lesson you have taken away from working together?

their words, not mine:

The gym was the problem.

Not because L hadn’t been there before. He had, but it never felt natural. The concern about form, about his body, about whether he was doing it right — it was always there, quietly in the background.

And consistency? A lifelong pattern of not finding it.

Team sports had given him structure as a kid.

As an adult, without a team, without a season, without someone calling practice — nothing stuck.

He wanted to build something sustainable. Something that could actually become part of who he was.

He just hadn’t found the right environment to do it in. Yet.

Two things worked together to move the needle.

First — the pragmatic. Form, programming, how to arrange the weights, how to warm up. The fundamentals that make the gym feel less foreign and more navigable. He built quiet confidence over time.

Second — and the major difference — the mental and emotional support.

Erwin’s philosophy carried into every session: he was feeling like someone is on your team. Not just coaching the body, but the mental progress too.

And when injuries happen, that’s where it mattered most. Working through them without losing the momentum. Without losing the confidence. Without letting a setback become a reason to stop.

That’s the combination. Pragmatic and human. Both, every time.

Here’s what consistent actually looks like now:
L has a fitness regimen — a real one. He is showing up.
The gym doesn’t feel foreign anymore. It feels like somewhere he belongs.

And the shift in what he’s measuring? That might be the biggest result of all. Less focused on how he looks from the outside. More focused on the reality of his strength and the consistency he’s been building.

For someone who spent his whole adult life not finding this — that’s not a small thing.

That’s everything.

But what the routine doesn’t capture?

L came in carrying a story he’d been telling himself for years.

That story is gone.
For the first time, he’s committed to making fitness part of who he is. On his terms. At his pace. In a way that actually holds.
That’s the shift. Not just a new routine. A new identity.

This one’s for the athletes who’ve had their time wasted in injury, with practitioners that didn’t ask the right questions or in practices that didn’t allow their PTs to make the time.

That’s not what happens when we work together.

DM me LFG if this is what you’re looking for.

One of the first things I teach every athlete I work with.

Red. Yellow. Green.

Red — stop. Something’s wrong. We back off.

Yellow — proceed with curiosity. Test it. Move slowly before you move fast.

Green — go. Build. Push.

Most athletes only know two settings: full send or completely shut down.

Martha was no different when she came in after her achilles tear. The instinct after a serious injury is to either protect everything — or ignore the signals entirely and try to get back to where you were as fast as possible.

Neither works.
What works is learning to read your own body. Building the skill of knowing which light you’re at — and trusting that read.
That’s what we spent five years doing together.
By the end, she didn’t need me to tell her when to push and when to pull back. She knew.

That’s the goal. Always.
Minimizing dependency. Self-efficacy.

The athlete who knows their own body and can stay available is the athlete who stays in the game.

That athlete gets more opportunities. More chances.

And when you’re always in the red — you won’t get those chances because sitting on the bench, hurt.

She’d spent over a year away from competitive play.

Pandemic. No season. No field. Just waiting. Training on her own, in virtual sessions with the team.

When things finally opened back up, she felt ready, gearing up for the 2021 NY Gridlock season. Building her strength. Getting her body right.

The world was re-opening, slowly.

Then — at the first practice of the season — she tore her achilles.
I remember how gutting that moment was. For her. For the team. For us both.

She was no stranger to long-haul recovery. Ultimate players rarely are. But this one was different. The timing. The buildup. The year of waiting that came before it.

The season was over before it started.

But that wasn’t the end of her story.

it’s not motivation.

it’s not discipline.

it’s not working hard every session until failure.

it’s not hitting PRs every day.

it is showing up regularly.

it is doing the thing *while* allowing your body to recover.

it is pushing yourself within and around your capacity, not over what you’ve got every time.
