Ep 50- Flip The Script

Champ Up Chat

Welcome to Episode 50 of Champ Up Chat!

Being a champion isn't for the chosen few. Being a champion is for the few that choose.

In this episode, Sarah and I talked about how self-talk has created your reality and guides your subconscious. Then we turn self-talk into actions, whether it is anabolic or catabolic.

We all hold ourselves back because of our fear, anxiety and undesirable thoughts of; "what might go wrong?", you want you to rephrase your thoughts into; "what might be the best thing that could happen?"

Establish your self-talk by setting up boundaries and creating a daily routine of flippin' the script.

One way to start is by writing down your affirmations. This technique will help you improve the way you think about yourself and you will notice how it changes your energy to Champ Up!

On December 20th, 2021, John Esposito was working on a highway construction crew. While standing in front of a trailer, a car careened into the work area. It slammed into John and pinned him against the trailer, instantly and irrevocably changing his life. Lucky to survive it, John underwent multiple surgeries and had both legs amputated above the knees. Not one to be deterred, John returned to the gym six months later and has continued to be a source of inspiration to everyone he meets. At first, he used his wheelchair to throw hands with us all. Not content with rest or self-pity, his fighting spirit remains unbroken. John has recently been fitted for prosthetics with the goal of one day walking again. That day is September 24th, 2022. Nine months since the accident. John is training for our fundraising event on September 24th where he will join us at Echo Lake Park in Mountainside, NJ; 9:00 am. Our group will be hiking 3.5 miles, training together and then grilling up with great food & great people. 100% of proceeds will go directly to John, and if you do wish to make a tax deductible donation, a receipt from our 501c3 organization will be provided to you. Contributions will go towards his recovery costs in the coming months & years. If you or a business you know would like to become an individual or corporate sponsor, please contact me directly. John is the guy who people love talking to. His natural warm, and welcoming presence extends to every newcomer in the gym. His laid-back, pleasant nature was only put on hold during his ferocious ring performances. His goal is to pay it forward and contribute to the next generation, which has been our organization’s goal since day one. Fighting is the loneliest sport in the world, but we’re letting our brother know that he isn’t alone on his journey. We’re all in his corner.
