I’ve been pursuing intentional stillness in a fresh way lately…

Building a habit of seeking conviction that drives repentance.

I’ve begun to RECLAIM lost confidence in who God has called me to be.

I can hear him calling me back to my first identity, as his Son.

It’s time to step out of feeling stagnant, and step fully into the work He’s laid out before me.

My flagship program is coming, and I’m excited to share it with you.

It’s time to RECLAIM who you were called to be… physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.

A 10 minute snapshot of my study time today...

Also a 10 minute picture of my mobility practice...

One of the quickest and most effective ways to improve mobility? Get out from behind the desk, get off the couch, take to the floor...

This is often the FIRST thing I recommend to athletes that come to me with questions about stiffness in the lower body.

Anytime I find myself sitting for longer than a half hour, I make it a point to take what I’m doing away from the man made comfort of a chair or couch, and I ask my body to support itself in whatever way feels NATURAL.

The more you can expose yourself to different and natural positions, the better.

Next time you slump into the couch to binge Netflix, lay out a blanket and sit on the floor instead. Your hips and back will thank you!

Week 5 of foot/ankle rehab with 🤘🏼🤜🏼

Ken dislocated the 1st-5th metatarsals in his left foot (Lisfranc Injury), and opted to do his rehab with us over at

He’s made stellar progress since he was cleared to move again... the work has been difficult, and certainly isn’t fun, but Ken has been diligent in prioritizing what his body needs now, so that he can get to where he wants to be later.


BE LIKE KEN.

🎬: snapshot of Ken’s work rebuilding single leg hip strength and stability through the foot/ankle. Light years away from day 1 of just trying to actively stand on one leg.

During our valentines dinner, Emily and I took a moment to reflect on what we’ve learned about one another, and ourselves, in the time since we got married.

We shared vulnerably how we felt the other matured in showing affection and communicating love. We also asked each other honestly how the other felt we could improve in these same areas.

Throughout the conversation, there were many ‘confession’ moments, something Emily and I started a few months ago...

...if you have something on your mind or heart that your nervous to share, because you‘re worried about how it will be received, you raise your hand and say boldly, ‘confession’!

This is our way of telling the other person, ‘I need you to listen to how I feel and not judge, I need you to really stop and hear what I’m saying.’

We’ve found it to effectively insert a moment of love, truth, and grace into any conversation, no matter how heated or how big the misunderstanding.

In loving each other HONESTLY like this, we’ve found our communication improve a thousand times... and things that previously would have been bottled up, only to boil over into bigger issues down the road, get buried in an instant without a chance to become a problem.

I’m so in love with my wife... and during this conversation last night I realized I was having dinner with a picture of the love that God has for us in Christ.

May your unfailing love be my comfort, according to your promise to your servant.

⁣Coaching perspective.... Most days when you leave the gym, you should have some left in the tank. “Training” is not the same as “testing” or “competing”.⁣
⁣
⁣
⁣If every workout ends in a redline leaving you in a puddle on the floor, you’re more than likely missing out on peak performance and leaving gains on the table... ⁣
⁣
⁣
⁣We don’t get fitter by beating ourselves into the dirt every session. ⁣
⁣
⁣
⁣Train to create opportunities to recover... pick and choose the right times to put your foot on the gas. ⁣
⁣
⁣
⁣You can’t compete every day.⁣
⁣
⁣
⁣Here’s to training smarter 🤙🏼⁣

⁣Athlete: “HOW DO I INCREASE MY SQUAT MOBILITY COACH?!!!?”⁣
⁣
⁣
⁣Coach: “spend more time squatting.”⁣
⁣
⁣
⁣Athlete: “meeehhh...”⁣
⁣
⁣
⁣
⁣
⁣Shoutout to my sisters baby Josie for demonstrating some stellar squat mobility, it certainly helps that she’s still a bendy 1 year old... ⁣
⁣
⁣
⁣But seeing this kid, in all her innocence, demonstrate what so many older athletes are desperately wanting but unable to work for is such a good reminder! ⁣
⁣
⁣
⁣MAKE TIME TO PLAY! ⁣
⁣
⁣
⁣Been sitting for awhile? Set up your laptop on a chair and squat while you type.⁣
⁣
⁣
⁣Lounging on the couch binging Netflix? Take to the floor and squat. ⁣
⁣
⁣
⁣Stop scrolling through your phone, stop googling all the crazy mobility manuals... ⁣
⁣
⁣
⁣Start familiarizing yourself with the positions you want to be in... ⁣
⁣
⁣
⁣Your body will thank you. ⁣

⁣In everything, you have control over how you CHOOSE to respond. ⁣
⁣
⁣
⁣No circumstance, however hard, however frightening, however difficult, can decide the way in which you speak, work, serve, and love. ⁣
⁣
⁣
⁣Joy is a choice, patience is a choice, kindness is a choice, gratitude is a choice... all of these are more difficult to walk in, it’s easy to linger in your own self pity... ⁣
⁣
⁣
⁣Immensely grateful to serve athletes who remind me of this every day. You know who you are 🤙🏼🤜🏼⁣
⁣
⁣
⁣Make the choice to take the hard steps from where you are, to where you want to be. ⁣

⁣PERFORMANCE CARE at ⁣
⁣
⁣
⁣How many different workouts are happening in this video??? ⁣
⁣
⁣
⁣My favorite thing about coaching the noon class at is the insane demographic present in the hour.⁣
⁣
⁣
⁣We have elite athletes on the international stage, training next to new athletes early in their fitness journey, training next to athletes in their 70s who are fitter than most in their 50s! It’s a beautiful picture. ⁣
⁣
⁣
⁣Our Performance Care 1on1 coaching track takes this class, with its diverse range of athletes, and gives them a group fitness experience that caters to individual needs. ⁣
⁣
⁣
⁣Athletes of every age, experience, and fitness level, can train for sport, increase performance, get out of pain, and improve quality of movement, all while talking story, cheering on their neighbor, and holding one another accountable.⁣
⁣
⁣
⁣Kauai Crossfit is changing the landscape of health and fitness in this community. ⁣

⁣Change does NOT mean Transformation ❌⁣
⁣
⁣
⁣Transformation ALWAYS brings change ✅⁣
⁣
⁣
⁣
⁣
⁣Your New Years resolution won’t last if it hinges on your ability to be disciplined, and stay disciplined. ⁣
⁣
⁣
⁣Fresh workout routines, trendy diets, and the worlds best morning ritual won’t make a lick of difference (and WILL bring burnout) if your mindset never shifts. ⁣
⁣
⁣
⁣Change by itself is not enough. ⁣
⁣
⁣
⁣
⁣
⁣TRUE TRANSFORMATION happens when we TAKE the space to be still, humble ourselves, and evaluate the decisions we make, why we make them, who they effect, what they cost, and where they are taking us...⁣
⁣
⁣
⁣Perspective MUST shift, if the changes we make are to have any hope at being effective in the long term. ⁣
⁣
⁣
⁣TAKE space to be still today! The world won’t give it to you, you have to take it. ⁣
⁣
⁣
⁣Give your mind space to process the upcoming week, let go of mistakes or disappointments from days past, and then walk joyfully into the challenges set before you. ⁣

⁣📸: Athlete Larissa Nebre cruising through a set of 10s negative, 10s pause overhead squats.... ⁣
⁣
⁣
⁣It’s not often I get to brag on an athlete to the extent I do with Larisa... all the credit to her hard work and diligence. She’s got one proud coach! ⁣
⁣————————————⁣
⁣
⁣
⁣“Prior to working with Jared, I went months and months, probably even a year or so with shoulder pain when lifting overhead in certain positions.⁣
⁣
⁣
⁣I decided I was tired of making excuses for my shoulder and took the leap with a movement screen, I then committed to the Performance Care 1on1 Program. Backing off on weights is always a challenge when I know "I can totally lift that" so it truly took some perception altering on my part... As time went on, I realized how much better I felt in the overhead position(s) and my shoulder pain was dwindling, day by day. Ommitting and scaling back on certain movements in conjunction with a lot of tension work not only helped my pain go away, but I was also able to really focus on proper movements all around. ⁣
⁣
⁣
⁣Beyond gaining better positioning and diminished shoulder pain, the biggest benefit was having someone like Jared in my corner reminding me that it's necessary to take care of myself and sometimes that means going back to the basics; honoring where I was at and putting in work to get me to where I want to be. ⁣
⁣
⁣
⁣It is very difficult to be present in the gym setting when there are disruptions of any kind in our personal lives. We all know that and it'd been a long time since I was looked in the eye and asked with sincerity, "how ARE YOU doing today?"  I will forever be grateful to Jared for the humanity and level of care he brought into our sessions. ⁣
⁣
⁣
⁣I would highly recommend that ANY person, regardless of your fitness level, take the leap with The Orior Project. You will not be disappointed with your results when you put in the appropriate work enhanced by exceptional support and coaching.”⁣
