POSITIVE SELF-TALK “How bad do you want it? . . . Be great. Let’s be great.” (Aaron Donald)

As an athletic director, people often ask why I am so passionate about sports, and my answer is simple: sports made me who I am. They gave me so much that I feel a responsibility to give that same experience to others. Sports taught me how to compete, how to be accountable, how to be a good teammate, and how to pursue the Lord through the friendships I built on teams. They gave me the opportunity to be both a backup and a starter, and to understand the value of each role. They taught me how to get in shape, how to work for something I wanted, the values of winning, and the lessons that come from losing. They also taught me how to give my best effort toward a greater cause even in moments when I thought a coach did not like me. Over time, I learned that coaches do not dislike players, they challenge them to bring out their best. If the only value you see in sports is individual success, playing time, or a scholarship, you are not in it for the right reason. Of course those are great goals, but sports are much, much bigger than that. Ultimately, sports gave me far more than wins and losses. They shaped my character and helped make me the person I am today.

Players, If your coach moves you to a different position, don’t take it personally. He’s probably not moving you away from the field, he’s trying to find the spot that gives you the best chance to get on it. Trust the process. Compete.

A wise mentor once told me: "Before you play the game, study the winners. If you don't want their life, don't play their game."

I will be at @CSU_FB tomorrow for the big man camp! #WE @mann_football @TlLance @AirRaidNYC @CoachShea68 @train0187 @HighSchoolBlitz
