**CARPE DIEM**

Yo! I’m Todd Ristorcelli or Swerve Master-T if you prefer. Fitness and competition water skiing have been a lifelong journey for me, and I’m passionate about sharing my expertise and helping my clients and friends reach new levels of performance and well-being by optimizing their strength, flexibility, diet, sleep, recovery, and mindset.
**Embrace Change, Unlock Your Potential**
As the great Zig Ziglar once said, “You are what you are and where you are because of what is in your mind." Imagine tapping into the immense power of your mind, body, and spirit to achieve remarkable feats in water sports or any other activity you love. Drawing from over two decades as a professional athlete, coach, documentary filmmaker, and magazine editor, I've had the great privilege of learning from world-renowned coaches, psychologists, and trainers. My purpose in life: sharing that knowledge with as many people as possible. I enjoy inspiring people to get outside their comfort zone and onto a path of wellness that they never thought possible.
**Where Distance is No Barrier**
Experience the magic of virtual coaching that defies distance. If the Wi-Fi signal is strong enough from Mars, count me in! Take me with you to the gym, enjoy one-on-one private training sessions in the comfort of your own home, workout with me on vacation to stay accountable, and let me show you the exact same tools and fitness protocols that have helped me stay ripped year-around while also feeling and performing my best.
**Age is Just a Number**
Let's shatter the myth of age as a limitation. Don't let it become an excuse. Surgeries? Been there, conquered that. From having back and multiple knee surgeries to numerous broken ankles, legs, and ribs, I've rebounded with resilience and a deep respect for the incredible adaptability of the human body. I haven’t had a cortisone shot in 15 years, and I've left behind a history of at least a dozen injections between ages 25 and 35. Now at 50, I have yet to try TRT, steroids, or any performance-enhancing drugs. Instead, I focus on optimizing my hormones naturally and recovering from training like a true veteran athlete.
**Your Prescription for Excellence: Customized Fitness**
If exercise could be distilled into a pill, it'd be the world's most prescribed medicine. Now, imagine harnessing that power with my high-end, concierge-style fitness programs, carefully tailored to guide you safely toward your goals. Through personalized one-on-one virtual coaching sessions, exhilarating guided video workouts, accountability, and empowering mindset coaching, we'll sculpt a path to success. This isn't just about workouts; it's about cultivating a vibrant lifestyle that propels you forward.
**Let's Chat, No Strings Attached**
Are you ready to redefine your peak performance and transform your life? Reach out for a complimentary, no-pressure phone call. We'll discuss your needs, and aspirations, and determine if we're a perfect fit for this journey together. Fill out the info in the contact section of my website, and I will follow up within 48 hours guaranteed or you get a free water ski lesson on me. The only catch is that you have to travel to Orlando.

Be YOUR OWN HERO

Not operating at 100%? I feel you. I’ve been there myself. I know what it’s like to be 35 pounds overweight. I’ve drowned my sorrows in crappy food and alcohol. I’ve been divorced and depressed. I’ve struggled through injuries. I’ve wasted precious time binge-watching Netflix. I’ve failed numerous times trying to kick my nicotine habit. I know how dark I feel inside when hope is lost.

Thankfully, physical fitness has always lured me out of the dark dungeon of my mind. It speaks to me: You will get through this! Get moving. Lift, take a walk, ski, stretch, breathe, get more sleep, eat healthier, etc. Allow those groovy brain chemicals to do their thing.

Do it, do it, do it.

A better headspace is right around the corner. You just have to know how to tap into it. NEVER LOSE HOPE. There is a brighter tomorrow. But you have to create it for yourself. No one is going to do it for you. Captain your ship.

Start small. Write down weekly and monthly goals, and stick to your program. Write them on posted notes and put them on your mirror, refrigerator, or any place else that you see fit. Set voice reminders on your phone that you must follow through on your workouts. Ask a friend to hold you accountable.

If you say that you’re going to work out on a certain day, then follow through no matter what. No BS excuses. If you swear that you’re not going to drink alcohol during the workweek, then don’t F-ing do it. Drink some zero-calorie fizzy water with a twist of lime to help take the edge off. Breathe. You’ll be fine.

Honor the commitments that you make to yourself. If you had a friend that repeatedly bailed on your plans you probably wouldn’t like it, right? Well, be a good friend to yourself and do something active. Love yourself. Love others. And be well. That’s all I got for you today. Carpe Diem!
