Re-Turn


Back after a two-year blogging hiatus on here! Things have not stopped over that time. Instead, everything was primarily accomplished on social media in the form of Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram posts. Yet, changes have been made:

  1. The old website no longer exists. Took it down. No worries. Hey, it's part of re-thinking. Plus, you have this blog, which can serve as a good site.
  2. YouTube videos will re-surface. Like the blog, the YouTube videos are making a return!
  3. The email list serve? Stopped it. It could come back.
  4. New logo. Yes, there is an additional new logo, which appears on the Facebook page profile picture.
  5. This blog site will keep the older blogs from 2016 and back in addition to new blogs.
What is the same or enhanced?

  1. The color scheme has stayed put: blue, orange, and white.
  2. More hashtags on Facebook posts and tweets. #SpreadTheHealth and #ShoutoutFriday received plenty of play in 2018.
  3. Teams that win championships at the college and professional level most often receive shoutouts. 
  4. Clientele. Right now clientele consists mainly of clients from gyms. Yes, I work at a few places but not as TEEM Performance Training...as myself, an employee of that gym. So, you could see photos of from those places but not including members or classes. TEEM focuses more on the in-home and outdoor bunch.
  5. You will see a change in the Twitter profile as @DCAreaHockey has been added to it. That Twitter handle is different from TEEM or @teemptraining. However, beliefs in strength & conditioning are shared on that page in addition to that page sharing a part of what I do with ice hockey, writing, and athletics promotion. @teemptraining will focus more on ice hockey coaching that I do, which is separate from ice hockey promotion seen @DCAreaHockey. The 2018-2019 season marked my 12th ice hockey season in coaching and 3rd season as a head coach.  As a varsity 2 head coach, the opportunity to do the 2018 off-season workouts at O'Connell surfaced; so program design that I would do under the TEEM name was given to the players. Strength & conditioning programs are not solely open to ice hockey players but to any type of athlete. We would work in an outdoor setting.
  6. Speaking of the great outdoors...weather plays a factor. With spring in the air and summer on the horizon, extreme heat...you know, the code orange and code red heat can deter solid outdoor activity. Rain is fine but lightning is not. Snow and ice threaten the outdoor season as well.
  7. With the video skills back on tap, you get videos. You get plenty of short blogs...19th year of dealing with athletes...16th year of practicing as a legit health & fitness professional. It feels great to have new ideas and methods. Come back often...Oh yea, old videos will stay on the YouTube page
Keep Inspiring,
Derek
