Ever had a job where, no matter how good you are at it, you can still get fired at any given moment?
Pretty stressful, right?
“I could come in and do a terrific job on a team, get them in wonderful physical shape, but if for some reason the performances don’t ensue, ‘cause it’s a win/loss outcome-based environment, you might still lose your job. So, there’s not always that job security with what I do because, at the elite level, you’ve gotta win. "
Russell Jarret has managed to sustain a career as an elite Physical Performance/Strength and Conditioning Coach for over 30 years.
That’s A LOT of early starts and burpees…
Now a proven key player behind the players, his interest in the elite fitness training profession was originally piqued by an inspiring Physical Education teacher. Russell has since worked with some of Australia’s most elite sporting organisations including the Australian Football League, Australian Institute of Sport, Cricket Australia, Women’s National Basketball League, Australian Basketball League and elite level Golf and Tennis as well as literally thousands of individual and group sessions.
Then, out of nowhere, the national personal training industry is scuttled overnight…
“Lockdown two really punched a hole in us because, when we got locked down a second time it was probably a bit longer, actually, and we’d done all of those things to remain relevant and to remain front of mind and we had no more tricks up our sleeve…"
We chat mindset and methods to navigate major change in our lives, the benefit in having a side hustle, how our physical exercise needs to adapt to complement our age AND there’s even some time to throw a couple of questions at Russell provided by Doing Epic Stuff listeners.
EPIC.
BTW: if you dig the episode, I’d greatly appreciate a review on your preferred podcast listening platform - the more awareness we create together the closer we get to a world where everyone has the opportunity to pursue their epic stuff.
