Welcome to Setting the Bar
Hello and welcome! I’m Shane Trotter—father, husband, writer, educator, Strength & Conditioning Coordinator, and author of Setting the Bar: Preparing Our Kids to Thrive in an Era of Distraction, Dependency, and Entitlement. A review here.
For years as a teacher and Strength & Conditioning Coordinator, I saw the same thing play out: young people full of potential but lacking direction. Helping them build discipline, purpose, and character became the most meaningful part of my work.
That mission has evolved into Setting the Bar—a project devoted to restoring the education we all should have received.
Setting the Bar explores the timeless and timely lessons needed to thrive in the modern world. We aim to clarify a path towards becoming people of character, capacity, and commitment to a higher way of living.
