I just sent this out to my January online nutrition coaching group. We started getting into some mindset stuff last week and the need to always be “perfect”. Here’s a snipit of the original email. Boy did I blow it yesterday. Here’s how things went down. Yesterday we drove out to Rockford for my wife’s […]
Did You Know This About Your Supplements?
A little while back after a training session, a client asked me to take a look at a protein powder supplement that caught his attention. He grabbed his current copy of Men’s Health and proceeded to leaf through it until he found the the advertisement for this particular product. To be honest, I don’t even […]
Could Your Goals Be Getting in the Way of Your Life?
So it happened again. For the better part of two weeks, I found myself planted in front of the television from 7-9 pm watching the Winter Olympics. I had absolutely no intention on doing this. In fact, right before they began, I had basically zero interest and even remember thinking this would be the year […]
2017 PPT Client of the Year
Before I introduce you to our newest client of the year, I need to mention that it was hard (really hard) to choose one person to single out. Why, you ask? Because unlike previous years (and we’ve been in business for over 10 years now), we currently have more clients making big time changes in […]

The Redwings exceeded all expectations to have their most successful season ever at 31-4, and ending with a Class 4A State Basketball Runner-Up Finish in 2016. Benet Academy is not only one […]
Youth Performance Training: “A Broken System, Breaking Young Athletes” Part 1: How Do I Differentiate
In 2000, I took the steps to become nationally recognized as a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) through the National Strength and Conditioning Association. The foundation of what was taught started and ended with 2 main objectives: 1 – increase performance, and 2 – reduce incidence of injury. So why does the rate of […]

Do You Have Your Mind Right?
Scott Klasen, MS, CSCS, Co-Owner, Peak Performance Training Over the past year and a half or so there has been something troubling me more and more. That is, why do some of my clients get outstanding results, while others manage marginal results at best? Obviously this is a loaded question with literally hundreds of possible […]
I Fell Off the Wagon
Scott Klasen, MS, CSCS, Co-Owner, Peak Performance Training So I had this plan. My plan was to switch from a bi-monthly newsletter to a quarterly newsletter, and in its place start writing blog posts a few times per month. Seemed easy enough. I knew what I wanted to do. I knew how I was going […]
