Who Moved My Cheese? Why Adaptability is Part of The Standard

At Frey Performance Coaching, we don’t just train the body —
we train the mind.

And one of the simplest but most powerful books that captures a key mindset for success is "Who Moved My Cheese?"by Spencer Johnson.

If you want to thrive — not just survive — through life’s inevitable changes, this book is a must-read.

Here’s why it matters — and why adaptability is a non-negotiable part of The Standard at FPC.

Change is Coming — Ready or Not

"Who Moved My Cheese?" is a short, simple story about four characters who live in a maze and rely on finding cheese to survive.

When the cheese suddenly disappears, each character reacts differently:

• One panics.

• One denies it.

• One waits, hoping the old cheese will come back.

• One adapts quickly and starts looking for new cheese.

It’s a simple metaphor — but a powerful one:

You can’t control when change comes.
But you can control how you respond.

Winners Adjust — Excuses Don’t

At FPC, we talk about steady pressure all the time — but here’s the reality:

Pressure without adaptability is a dead end.

You can grind all day long, but if you’re grinding in the wrong direction — clinging to outdated habits, stubborn mindsets, or old excuses — you’re going to get left behind.

The standard is excellence.
And excellence requires evolution.

If the environment shifts, you adjust.
If the game changes, you change your strategy.
If life moves your cheese, you don't sit there complaining — you move with it.

Adaptability isn’t weakness.
It’s strategic strength.

Adaptability is a Skill You Train — Just Like Strength

The ability to pivot, adjust, and overcome isn't random.
It’s a skill — and like any skill, you build it through reps:

• Tackling new challenges without fear.

• Being honest about when something isn’t working anymore.

• Letting go of what "used to work" and leaning into what works now.

• Staying solutions-focused, not problem-focused.

Training your body and mind to adapt under pressure makes you unstoppable — in the gym, at work, in life.

That's why inside FPC, we build athletes and professionals who don’t just work hard — they work smart.

They anticipate.
They adjust.
They win.

Final Words: Move With The Cheese

Here’s the truth:

👉 Change is coming — whether you’re ready or not.
👉 Growth demands movement — not attachment.
👉 Progress belongs to those who aren’t afraid to leave the old cheese behind.

The question isn’t "if" the cheese will move.
The question is:
Will you move with it — or get left behind?

At FPC, we choose to move.
We choose to grow.
We choose to adapt — and apply steady pressure in the right direction.

Better every day. Built, not born.

Let’s get to work.
