What’s a 3 letter word…

For “fired up”? YOU! I said it, and you know it. So don’t even think about going through the motions, that’s not like you. Show the world what you’re all about! Yours in “Fired Up” – Coach

Don’t be afraid to see…

Yourself through another’s eyes. We all have a perception of who we are and what we can become, and the studies show that other people think more highly of you than you do of yourself. I think and believe that everyone has the ability to achieve at their highest potential and what stands in the… Read more »

The ankle bone’s connected to the…

  Knee bone, and…the knee bone is connected to the thigh bone, and the thigh bone is connected to the hip bone…We’ve all heard this, and some of us grew up singing it. The fact is, we are all connected. So in having a challenge with one part of our body, we can focus on… Read more »

When was the last time…

You just totally relaxed or just “chilled out” and took in the things around you? Good question, and I bet someone of us can’t remember that far back. We don’t even have to do anything, and that’s the funny part – remember, relaxing and “chilling out” takes no effort…only letting go. We don’t have to… Read more »

We don’t need opportunities…

Served up to us on a silver platter…it would be nice, but those are gifts, not opportunities. One of the greatest running backs in the history of football was Walter Payton, who retired as the all-time rushing leader. He didn’t need the entire football field open to accomplish his finest runs, he just needed one… Read more »

We are what we…

Repeatedly do. Some like to not think so, and try to be what they’re not, but people see through it. So, what we do…is really who we are. And we are viewed and measured, like it or not, by what we do, or by our actions, if you will…it makes sense, because how can we… Read more »

Sometimes, we need to…

“Soak” it all in. Not to “zone out” but to “zone in”. We all need to “soak” on, the big picture of what has been going on in our lives, and to make a check list of what has worked and what hasn’t. And within the process, we need to “zone in” on what we… Read more »
