The Soul-Saving Art of Making Adjustments
In sport we have this phrase that we lean on a lot- and that phrase is: 'making adjustments'. Clearly it’s something important because we say it all the damn time. From one throw to the next, one at bat to the next, one shot to the next, rep to the next, etc… it’s this phrase that we use that says: you were a little off this time, so try again in a different way next time.
What’s Your Response?
Leader’s are often tasked with a big question. That question is “why do you do what you do?” And this question is often summed up in a single word: purpose. Purpose is the deeper meaning behind your days, your relationships, and your work…
Born To Lead
I love to talk about it because for those who are in the evolution game and pursuing it, we know that it doesn’t happen on accident. We know that it’s no fluke. That every choice we make, and all the effort we put forth, is on purpose.
Acknowledging a Decade
I hope you see yourself in it. I hope it gives you words to speak over your own story. To be used as a template to fill in your own blanks + truths. Cause I really hope you’re proud of you, too.
Ambition
There are two kinds of motivation with ambition.
proving Love
Maybe this is the whole point…
Create A New Game.
If you're an athlete who's used to learning new skills their entire life through sport- only to have that mental & physical stimulus stop abruptly when you turned in your jersey…
A Big God
You can't play small and know a big life.
Why You Have to Try
I don’t think ideas are on accident. I don’t think curiosity is by chance. I don’t think you have this invisible tug pulling on you to look over there and come over here… for no reason.
Build
We weren’t in the middle of a conversation- he didn’t even look up at me. He placed his arm on the table, rested his head on top of it, stared at the pieces he was moving around with his other hand… and expressed his I-just-can’t-hold-it-in love…
Your Mission
Life has a built-in mission for us. And it’s not the one you first think it is.
The Power Of Community
I do absolutely notice a theme. A constant that I can take with me as a key ingredient to cooking up more fulling days in the future. And that was no matter where I was, or what I was doing…
Is This Honestly What Life Expects From Us?
The certainty is gone. Justifications and reasonings are communicated through gut feelings, not road signs. And they’re not felt by everyone… just you.
And Then God Gave Us Off Season
For months, you are not on a team. Your schedule and how you choose to use your time, beneficial or not, for growth and gain or not- is up to you. And if for some reason my vote counted… I say it’s off season that gets all the glory.
The (real) Winning Moment
It’s actually a living, breathing, covered in sweat and dirt and purpose, filled with Joy and smiles too big for our faces- way of being…
Toward
Why is change so hard? What is it about the transition from one season to the next, that makes us resist... everything?
Exactly Where You’re Supposed To Be
When the majority of the world is going one way.... please, go the other.
Where It Takes You
The tangent. The side road. The unexpected.
Your Funeral Speech
Because you don’t come face to face with the reality of who you are and who the world sees you to be…. and come out on the other side the same person. You don’t come to acceptance with your humanness and your mortality, without realizing how much it matters.
ath.lete
I always say that being an athlete isn’t just something we do... it’s a lifestyle. A way of life. It impacts every detail of it.
