America’s Favorite Life & Business-Growth Coach

[A coaching client of mine just asked me this question in response to a breakthrough she had based on some questions I asked her: “Darryl. How do you know these secrets to life? You know more about my motivations than I do!” The answer I gave her: “I am a student of life. I study and absorb the lessons that life constantly teaches.” Here’s an example.]

Whenever the Winter Olympics roll around, I always have flashbacks to an amazing time in my life. Allow me to share…

Several years ago, I was training at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colorado. During my 6 am work-out I noticed this guy squat-walking around the track with a tire full of sand around his neck. It was obviously very heavy.

Can You Squat-Walk?

I did not know who the guy was or what he did as an athlete. Finally, one day at lunch I happened to be sitting across the table from him. I introduced myself. His name was Eric. I said, “I see you squat-walking every morning. That’s incredible. What sport do you do?” And he said, “I’m a skater, you know, a speed skater.” Eric seemed to be a very unassuming person.
