2009 has been an incredible year for me. I completed my graduate program at UMass Amherst, started a new job as the Director of Athletic Development at Endeavor Fitness, and moved to Baltimore with Emily.
To keep the good times rolling through 2010, I’m making a list of goals for the year:
1) To remove the word “pump” from the lexicon of gym goers everywhere
2) Expose all alleged NO supplements for the imposters they are
3) Smash the cell phones of anyone that texts in the middle of their training session
4) Solve the New Jersey Sleeveless Shirt Epidemic (This is a serious problem and appears to be spreading at an unprecedented rate)
If I accomplish even HALF of these goals in 2010, I’ll enter 2011 a happy man.
Keep training hard through the new year!

P.S. Over the next couple weeks I’m going to be posting some incredible information that I picked up from Nick Tumminello, so keep checking back frequently.
P.P.S. If you haven’t yet, check out my new hockey training site, which has videos of hundreds of hockey training exercises on it and my Off-Ice Performance Training Course at a drastically discounted $47.
