I'm Cédric, a 47-year-old husband and father. Like many, I navigate the continuous demands of a full life, and I quickly realized that to be present and effective for others, I had to master the work on myself first. The Daily Grind Project is my commitment to this process. My mission is simple: Building physical and mental preparedness so I can show up as my absolute best, every single day.
My passion for movement spans decades: from the self-defense of judo, the teamwork of soccer, the speed of inline skating, and the precision of tennis and baseball. This journey culminated in the intensity of CrossFit, where I earned my Level 2 Trainer certification and spent five years coaching at myleo CrossFit in Berlin, Germany.
Today, living in Bulle (Switzerland), the grind continues with functional training, MTB, hiking, consistent walking, and yoga. Every sport taught me a crucial lesson: The discipline required to train your body is the same discipline required to run your life. This project is the synthesis of those lessons.
Health is the foundation of everything.
It is the daily decision to invest proactively in my physical and mental well-being. This investment ensures I can sustainably show up for my family, my work, and the challenges of life without burnout.
Discipline is about showing up.
It's the simple commitment to do the things I have to do to move forward. For me, this is about action, not motivation. It means setting the standard and leading by example for my family and community in every facet of the grind.
Curiosity is about continuous learning.
In training, this means being open-minded and constantly seeking better ways to enhance the mind-body connection. My focus is on integrating principles of mental conditioning and strategic thought into every training session.
