Disclosure: There is an opportunity that I may receive product from Sport Chalet in the future through this relationship, but I have not been compensated monetarily. All opinions are my own.
I’m happy to introduce several new social communities in the brand world recently debuted by Sport Chalet. They relaunched their website last month and are shining a new spotlight on several active communities: FITNESS, CYCLING, SCUBA, OUTDOOR, and of course, RUNNING. The latter, I am pleased to announce that I have been asked to be considered an “Expert” — see some familiar faces here.
“The top experts in the world are ardent students. The day you stop learning, you’re definitely not an expert.”
Brendon Burchard
“An expert is a man who has made all the mistakes which can be made, in a narrow field.”
Niels Bohr
Don’t worry, they haven’t officially changed the definition of expert, but we might be well on our way. In all seriousness, I’m honored to be asked, but would never consider myself an “expert” in the running world. There are many other runners that are smarter, stronger, faster, healthier and with more experience. As you can see from the two quotes that I grabbed above, I still consider myself in the still-trying-to-figure-things-out phase.
If you take a look at the Sport Chalet website, you’ll see a social feed for each community, as well as a list of experts, events, videos and guides. We’ll all be contributing over time and sharing our individual journeys and experiences. We’ll be using several hashtags so that you can follow along:
#RunAddiction
#ObsessedWithFitness
#NotTreadingWater
#WildernessWanderer
#CyclingStateOfMind
Win an Adventure-of-a-Lifetime
They have also set up a major sweepstakes that includes opportunities to win an Ultimate Crossfit Experience, ASICS VIP package, a trip to New Zealand — hike, dive, cycle, or ski. It’s pretty major and what I love about it is that there is something for everyone that wants to lead an active lifestyle. Whether it’s indoors, outdoors, under water, or all three — there is something for everyone
Gift Card Giveaway
And of course, with relationships built, I’m always looking for ways to give back to the community. I’ve been fortunate enough to be given the opportunity to receive product from Sport Chalet in the future, but RIGHT NOW I have the opportunity to GIVE SOMETHING TO YOU! Two winners will be chosen to receive a Sport Chalet gift card on September 17. Enter below for your chance to win.

This is really specific – but I think I am an expert at communicating with people about pets. Whether they’re having trouble with their own, bereaved over a loss, looking to add a pet, or just have questions, I may not be the expert on the question at hand itself but I always know how to communicate on the very emotional and sometimes very tough topic of how we as Americans relate to pets in our society.
