How strong is strong enough?

I’m Dave Reddy.

I’m a high school coach and athletic director, university program director, personal trainer, a husband, and a dad. And most weeks, I feel good enough to play some pickup ball.

For almost twenty years I’ve trained adults, coached athletes, and taught exercise science students. Along the way, one question has shaped how I teach, coach, and mentor everyone I work with:

How strong is strong enough?

I have asked this question numerous times in my own training and when coaching my clients. But it has evolved. Now I don’t mean strong enough to hit a number or a time for your next 5K run. I mean strong enough for the life you actually live: to show up for your family daily, do focused, meaningful work, keep your commitments, and take care of the people who depend on you.

I call that Everyday Strength, and this site, and my social media outlets (mostly YouTube and Instagram) is where I think aloud, providing tips and practice ideas for my people. I categorize my thoughts and posts accordingly to the four pillars of everyday strength:

  • Physical
  • Relational
  • Vocational
  • Spiritual
