Hello! How’s it going? It’s Trevor here and I’ve gota great success story to share with you. This story is about Derek Retzloff, and he hasachieved some amazing results over the past 2 months with his training. Derek rocking his Seahawk Air Jordans. You know Derek, right? Or better known to you as Derek Scott, the radio guy from SunFM (now Virgin). He might not look familiar but if you heard his voice on the radio, I’m sure you’d recognize it.  Derek is usually in at 9:30 am Monday, Wednesday and Friday. He has done numerous works for SunFM and other radio businesses for over 20 years. For a person who has had to face numerous challenges throughout life, it makes what he’s achieved even more amazing. From a young age, Derek was at a physical disadvantage. His so called “condition”, which he’ll describe for you shortly, made certain tasks of daily living challenging. Tasks weren't necessarily impossible to complete, but hard to be efficient. It might be tough to relate but consider the things you’ve struggled with in your life and eventually overcame. Maybe you broke your leg, tore or pulled a muscle, hurt your back and had to sit out from a sporting event or even had to take time away from work. You were presented with new challenges in your daily life, but eventually you got better and were back to health. Remember how those challenges made you feel? Even better, how you felt when you accomplished them? Imagine if you had to live with them your whole life and each day there was something to accomplish. Sooner or later you work through those challenges more fluently and now you're looking for even more ways to challenge yourself. You won’t let anything stop you or get in your...

What does it take to succeed?For the sake of this conversation I'm referring to athletic performance but the same analogies would apply for success in weight loss, injury rehab or any other physical pursuit.What does it take to be at that top level?I like to refer to something we refer to as 4 Levels of Learning and here's what is looks like.Level 1 - Unconscious Incompetence[caption id="attachment_3772" align="alignleft" width="180"] Don't waste your efforts going the wrong wayBasically this means 'you don't know what you don't know'. Someone is making mistake and spinning their wheels but has no idea this is happening.For example, imagine if were in a running race and you made a wrong turn. So you are going in the exact opposite direction of the finish line. You run as hard as you can giving your best effort but are surprised when at the awards ceremony you aren't on the podium receiving a medal.You can't understand it? You ran hard. You pushed yourself as much as the winners, if not more, yet you are not rewarded for your efforts.Another way of thinking about this would be to watch someone in the weight-room with terrible technique performing some type of exercise.Let's use kettlebell swings as the example. The person doing the swings has heard all of the great benefits of swings yet continues to suffer injuries and doesn't see any improvements in their performance.Yet when any coach sees them swing they cringe and want to help them fix their technique.In both these situations we have individuals who are making mistakes but don't even know it. It's this type of situation where people who do nothing may see better results due to the fact the efforts of the ones trying are full of errors.Level 2 - Conscious IncompetenceFor this level let's continue...
