If twenty hours of practice per week are required to be excellent… continue reading.

When it comes to nutrition we all get suckered. We all get confused and misled. I’ve been there. People try to make things more complicated than they should be. I’ve been guilty of that too.

It’s all very confusing and stressful. It shouldn’t and doesn’t have to be that way. In the latest episode of The Jay Ferruggia Show… continue reading.

Too many times we’re motivated to do things for the wrong reasons. Our focus is internal instead of external. Or maybe fear is holding us back in some way. I address this and much more on the latest Jay Ferruggia Show Podcast (formerly known as Renegade Radio). Some of it might make you a little uncomfortable. And that’s a good thing.
