todd baucom: How do you encourage spouse to work out with you?

I am a pretty active person. I have a home gym, in the bonus room, above the garage ,with the typical treadmill, weight bench, heavy bag, free weights, etc. I work out at least 4-5 days per week, combination of cardio and/or strength training. I have tried to get my wife to join me. But, she refuses. She suffers from ruptured disks in her lower back and is a smoker. I keep trying to tell her that if she does not get started soon it will be much tougher down the road. I have tried all sorts of methods in order … (14 comments)

- 02/10/08 11:33 AM
Todd Raleigh, current University of Tennessee coach and former Western Carolina University coach and player, has a theory about baseball that he shares with young baseball players and youth coaches. Todd is a friend and I have had the pleasure to attend a number of his camps with my boys and just hang out around the local fields and talk the game with him. I have heard the following from him on many occassions and not until now did I realize how true it also holds to the business of Real Estate. Todd Raleigh tells young players that if they cannot deal with failure … (6 comments)

todd baucom: 4 Baskets for $10K
- 01/21/08 01:20 PM
I was helping my two son's summer/fall tournament and wood bat baseball team in a fund raising effort this evening. We were working for Aramark running one of the concession stands at the Davidson/Western Carolina University Men's Basketball game. During our halftime rush we heard a roar from the crowd in the Ramsey Center. It was not until the start of the 2nd half that we learned there was a winner in the Sonic Drive In halftime contest. A student is selected from the stands to go onto the court and he/she has 25 seconds to hit 4 shots. Sounds easy right. The … (1 comments)
