“How to Bring Your Best Every Day”, Interview, Ben S. Fogel, RKC, Former World Cup Bobsledder

By Adrienne Harvey, SrPCC, RKC-II, CK-FMS

In bobsled, I learned really quickly that people noticed when I showed up every day on time (or early), brought my best, did what was asked of me at a high level, and practiced and trained every day. Back in 2005, I was kind of fighting for my life with bobsled—it was a cutthroat pre-Olympic year.

Intrinsic Excellence: A Leader’s Manifesto

by Rolando Garcia III, Author of Intrinsic Excellence

Things have changed. Everyone knows it. It has been this way for quite some time, and yet it’s hard to admit. I didn’t want to admit it at first, until I let myself get used to the idea and the feelings I buried whenever these thoughts came to mind.

“Believe in yourself”, “No fear”, and Other Impossible Instructions

by Rolando Garcia III, Author of Intrinsic Excellence

If I want to be awesome, what I am supposed to do? In what order should I do it? And how do I know I have achieved the end goal and fulfilled my purpose for that day? In other words, we cannot simply will ourselves into being awesome, inspiring, and full of self-belief. Instead, these qualities are the results of clear, dedicated, and committed action.

Gluteal Amnesia—And How to Fix It

by Dan John, Master RKC

I often joke to my audience that they’re “sitting on a goldmine.” The glutes might be the most important muscles in the body, but until recently, many have ignored this muscle family. The glutes are the foundation of power and the fountain of youth. Healthy glutes show the world you are young, vibrant and virile.

Movement First, Then Strength: Interview with PCCs Beth and Eric Bergmann

By Adrienne Harvey, SrPCC, RKC-II, CK-FMS

I’ve been a dancer my entire life. I started when I was two because my mom thought it was cute. As the youngest of five children—I was 13 years behind my last brother—my mom also probably wanted me out of the house! I was primarily a ballet dancer until I went to school at Julliard where I had more of a contemporary dance focus.

Welcome to the KETTLE PRT

By Rob Miller, Sr. RKC and Katie Petersen, RKC Team Leader

The PRT acronym derives from the Navy’s Physical Readiness Test administered biannually to all of its personnel. Each branch of the military has a program designed to keep all sailors, soldiers and airmen fit for duty. We organized the KETTLE PRT to provide this sort of meaningful challenge to the civilian world, not only for people like Steve but also for trainers like us. Our friends and family needed this push to rediscover their motivation.

4-Time German Overall Junior Powerlifting Champion’s Journey to the RKC and PCC—An Interview with Patrick Heckelmann, RKC, PCC

By Adrienne Harvey, SrPCC, RKC-II, CK-FMS

I’ve been interested in bodyweight exercise and calisthenics more lately and I have never really worked with it. While we had gymnastics classes in middle school and high school, I was kind of good, but I was never really good. And while I did gymnastics when I was small, I never really thrived in it.
