“A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic… or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God; or else a madman or something worse.” ~ C. S. Lewis, Mere Christianity

Happy Easter, everyone! Hallelujah! Jesus is Alive! ✝️

Animation I made with our kids at the Science Center today.

He knew the pain.
He knew the betrayal.
He knew the nails would tear through His flesh and the cross would crush His body.

And still… He chose it.

Jesus Christ walked straight into unimaginable suffering—beaten, mocked, pierced—not because He had to, but because He loved us that deeply. Every drop of blood, every breath of agony, was a decision: you were worth it.

This Good Friday, don’t look away from the brutality of the cross. Sit in it. Feel the weight of it. Because that’s how fierce His love truly is.

He endured the worst so we could receive the undeserved.
That’s not just sacrifice. That’s relentless, unshakable love.

Friends who train together stay together 💪🏼👊🏼

Big shoutout to Carly for jumping in with us this morning! Had a blast! She’s a sophomore softball player for our SEP Rams 🥎🐏 and after just one workout… yeah, she’s a STUD 😤🔥

Don’t forget — if you’ve got a friend or teammate you want to train with, you’ll get a discounted rate AND double the fun. No better way to get better.

Let’s work.

Upper back strength = something most people don’t train enough… but use every single day.

Two of my favorites:
• Barbell Bent Over Rows
• Pull-Ups

Your upper back (lats, rhomboids, traps) plays a huge role in posture—helping keep your shoulders pulled back and your spine supported. If you sit a lot or deal with tight shoulders/neck, getting stronger here can make a big difference.

It also carries over directly into sports. In baseball and softball, your upper back helps transfer force from your lower body through your torso and into your arm—aka more velocity and better control on your throws.

Simple, effective, and worth prioritizing.

Body control through explosive movement and change of direction is one of the most important skills to acquire when working to become an elite athlete. It will always be a primary focus for us here at Newman Performance & Wellness 💪🏼

We’re building it the right way:
• under control first — then speed
• explosive lateral movement
• deceleration & re-acceleration
• reactive footwork & coordination
• body control through transitions

These aren’t mindless jumping drills. This is intentional work—training the athlete to move efficiently, stay under control, and apply force in the right direction.

This is what training with purpose looks like. LET’S GOOOOO 😤🔥

Hope you all had a great Palm Sunday 🌿

The beginning of Holy Week — when we remember Christ’s sacrifice and anticipation of his Resurrection. The most important 8 days in human history!!

May our hearts be united with Christ in His Passion as we walk with Him towards the cross. While the world changes, the cross holds strong 🙏🏼✝️

“They took palm branches and went out crying, “Hosanna! Hosanna! in the highest. Blessed be the name of the Lord.” - John 12:13

No magic pill. No overnight transformation.

Just 1% better, every single day.
Small choices. Quiet discipline. Showing up when it’s not exciting.

It doesn’t feel like much in the moment — but give it time.
Those tiny improvements stack into real, lasting results.

Be patient. Stay consistent.
That’s how you build something that actually lasts.

Thankful for God’s word & it’s ability to examine us, challenge us, grow us, convict us, & help us to HOPEFULLY look more and more like Christ as time goes on 🙏🏼🙌🏼
