I train a number of my private clients at the Cincinnati Functional Fitness facility, owned and operated by Scott Goodpaster CSCS. Scott trains a high school wrestler, Dustin Carter, who compiled a 40-4 record this past season, and qualified for the ohio state wrestling tournament...DESPITE HAVING HIS ARMS AND LEGS AMPUTATED AT A YOUNG AGE!
Below, you'll find a video of Scott training Dustin for competition. Watch the video, and then ask yourself the following questions:
1. How hard am I training?
2. How many excuses am I making for not training/exercising on a consistent basis?
3. How fortunate am I?
4. How many times have I come up with excuses for not meeting my goals (business, personal, family, etc.)?
5. How optimistic have I been about life in general?
Dustin is certainly an inspiration, and his story (which has been featured on Inside Edition, the NY Times, and by Katie Couric) has certainly made me look at life differently. Congratulations to Dustin and Scott for a job well done, and for not letting barriers in life hold you back.
