SummerStrong is a strength reunion unlike any other!
Quick little update for yall: I headed out last week to SummerStrong, which is a clinic/conference/reunion/revival. It’s hard to pin down. But, it’s a blast! A weekend filled with learning, lifting, and catching up with old friends.
What is SummerStrong?
As I alluded to above, SummerStrong is hard to categorize. It is academic: we get CEU’s as we learn from the lectures. We share ideas, swap stories, and coaching tips.
It is social: we see all our old strength coach buddies and friends. We catch up on what’s new in our lives, with our families, personal achievements and careers.
It is emotional: it really brings out the best people in my industry. I am so so lucky to have found this group of people. They love me and support me unconditionally.
This year was heavily in memory of Pops, Richard Sorinex, the business’s patriarch. Pops passed last year, and he is deeply missed.
SummerStrong in Pictures
I never do great at taking pictures at SummerStrong, because I’m too busy catching up with everyone to think about pulling out my phone. Here are a few though.
If you have questions about SummerStrong, let me know. Maybe I’ll see you there next year!
