Tweaked the back a few weeks back. Made appt. with Dr. Do (no joke, that’s the name). Apparently he is Dr. Don’t. The acupuncture and electrotrodes did nothing to help the lower back…was able to rehab by self in a week. One word synopsis: China.

The Hua Zheng School is partnering with CRGA for our “Developing Champions” Program. There are over 5,000 kids in this high standardized school. Sean looks forward to introducing fitness to these highly motivated children. A select few will be entering CRGA’s “Developing Champions” program in 2012.
Sean, the new Director of Fitness at the Cindy Reid Golf Academy presented an hour-long demonstration on golf specific exercises to the public and vendors at the Tangxia International Golf Fair this week. CRGA is the largest Golf Academy in the world, and their headquarters is at Mission Hills Resort, the largest golf resort in the world.
Thanks to Northwestern Mutual and their team for having Sean speak at their planning day event in Richmond. Thank you so much for motivating all of the Virginia Group’s representatives this past Friday! Everyone I have spoken to has had great things to say about your presentation: KC Long There’s a new book that was just released by Sean’s friend, Vince Papale, Be Invincible! You should remember him from the Mark Wahlberg movie, Invincible, which was Vince’s story on how he made the Philadelphia Eagles without ever playing college football. A truely inspirational story on perseverance and believing in yourself and your dreams. His concepts are right in-line with our Hyperfitness Living ideals!Sean contributed his own little story in the book as well. We are humbly honored to be in the company of such inspirational people.
Thanks to the editors at VA Living Magazine for their story on us. It’s a high glossy, large-format magazine with terrific stories about our great state of Virginia – both historical and contemporary.
Washington DC’s popular morning show, DC101′s EITM, interviewed Sean Wednesday morning. Elliot and his cohorts are hilarious, and all-around good folk. Take a listen, and you’ll hear what we mean. Thanks brother, we always enjoy shooting the s**t with you and the crew. Many thanks go out to the Editors at Men’s Fitness HQ in Australia. We just received the magazine and everyone in the office immediately started thumbing through the stories. Great information for readers. We’re big fans of you as well, and thanks for providing Sean the opportunity to contribute the BackStory in your latest edition of Men’s Fitness! We thank our Scandanavian brothers and sisters for your article and covering our GHT expedition. The more recognition for the Nepal Trust, the more we can help those who live in the Hidden Himalaya of Nepal.
Thanks to StellarOne Bank and their executives for inviting me to speak at their conference re: different ways to overcome obstacles, both professionally and personally, especially with today’s huge mountains to climb in the banking and mortgage industry. A terrific group of people who were dialed in with regard to the presentation. I hope my new friends will keep in mind the lessons to acing attitude, overcoming obstacles, and seeking out the unity. It works, trust me!
We were extremely fortunate to have Sean agree to speak at our annual Sales Rally, and the presentation was amazing. Within seconds, Sean had us on the edge of our seats, and the excitement and enthusiasm built from there. Between Sean’s accomplishments, attitude, and determination to honestly not accept failure, it’s simply impossible to sit through his presentation and not come out with a renewed sense that you can and must set and achieve higher goals. I can’t imagine a better speaker to help kick start our 2011 sales efforts and truly set the positive attitudes so important to our efforts. Me sincere thanks to Sean for a truly motivational morning. The Associated Press article was released this week regarding the Great Himalaya Trail expedition. It has been getting some great feedback from the media. Gracias from all of us here, at the Nepal Trust, and for the Nepalese living in the Hidden Himalaya. Thanks to Outside Magazine Brazil for interviewing me for their March Issue. It’s a huge magazine with over 210 pages. Too bad I don’t know Portuguese well, I could read only about a quarter of the story. I definitely need to spend more time mountaineering in South America to ramp up the foreign language skills.
Thanks to Outside Magazine for their “In the Field” coverage concerning the Great Himalaya Trail trek. Eric Hansen interviewed me while I was in Kathmandu…great guy. I wish I had his job. He was hanging in Nepal writing some stories for Outside and trekking up into some remote regions. We drank some Ka! and flew by some insane numbers for the 49-day trek. I had forgotten I consumed well over 30 Cipro tablets. Check out the issue. A big thanks to the U.S. Navy and their fitness presonnel for welcoming me to their annual fitness conference this week.
