Intro

My name is Brock Leggins. I am owner and operator of Ultimate Athlete Development in West Des Moines, IA, a facility aimed at improving physical preparation for athletes of all ages and ability levels. I started this blog in an effort to improve my writing skills. As Dan John has said “If it’s important, do it every day” (I’ll expand more on this in the coming days). Writing is one of those skills that I feel is a “do every day” thing for me, as being a better and more effective writer will help me in many areas. I have also heard that, the more you do it, the better you become at it. So in that vein, I have started this blog, in an effort to hone my writing skills a bit. While a am a coach of physical preparation (or strength and conditioning, whichever you prefer – while they are not exactly the same thing, the difference is pretty inconsequential for most lay people, and I will use the titles interchangeably from time to time), not all of the posts will be in regards to training. I am an avid sports fan, so you can be sure I will write about that, as well as just observations on daily life. Again, this blog is nothing more than a forum for me to express my views and improve my writing ability and actually publish something every day. This is also something that Seth Godin preaches. So, to that end, it’s quite irrelevant to me if anyone reads this or not. If so, I would love to hear from and interact with people. And if not? No sweat off my balls, I’m still accomplishing my goal of writing every day.
