Well…it’s official ❗️❗️❗️

I wrote a book.

Wake Up and Be Great: Someone’s Gonna Do It, Why Not You? is out in the wild.

This book is short, intentional and built around something I deeply believe in: THAT GREATNESS ISN’T SOMETHING YOU FIND, IT’S SOMETHING YOU CHOOSE.

Through baseball, marriage, coaching, cancer, fatherhood, business, and plenty of moments where life did not go according to plan, I’ve learned that we don’t need the perfect circumstances to become who we are capable of and live a life of fulfillment.

Let’s wake up. Take inventory. Choose hard. Build resilience. Choose joy. And start showing up differently through Grind, Grit, Grace and Gratitude.

My hope is simple: that this book finds the person who needs the reminder and a nudge.

To those of you who have already purchased, I am humbled and Grateful.

To those of you who will purchase it, I am humbled and Grateful.

Go Be Great 🙏👊🦋

After my first cancer diagnosis I was the token victim…

I sat around and waited for doctors, science and medicine to do their job and nothing was working.

It was months and months before I realized that I also wasn’t doing anything of my part to help the situation.

I was solely focused on getting results, that I had totally neglected the skill of understanding and falling in love with the process.

This process was healing. Proactive healing. Taking out all the variables that I actually had control of. That way I could lay my head to rest every night confident that I did everything I could do to compete and win.

Victim to victor.

Now it’s time to start dunking again…

Everybody wants to be ready when their moment comes. Readiness is built in the early mornings, the extra reps, and the days you keep a promise to yourself when nobody would know if you broke it.

Every quiet rep is a deposit in your confidence. Keep stacking them.

All my executive performance coaching clients learn quickly how to take the excuses away.

Self-care, movement and self-love do not need to be fancy.

Amazing what a jump rope and a kettlebell can do for your mind, body and spirit.

And fun fact, they can travel anywhere you do.

We give you the tools to make the right choice easy.

It’s a simple question for a Tuesday….

Question: ⁉️⁉️⁉️
...
What do you want your tombstone to say?

Not how much you made. Not how busy you were. Not how many followers you had or titles you collected.

How did you make people feel? Did you show up when it mattered?
Did you love your people well? Did you use the gifts you were given?
Did you make an impact?

We spend so much time chasing the next thing that sometimes we forget to ask whether the life we’re building is actually the life we want to be remembered for.

So as you start this week, take a fearless inventory.
Live today in a way that makes the answer to that question easy.

Wake Up and Be Great. TM

Consistency over Perfection.

Stop waiting for the perfect time and moment.

Movement is the key. Get rid of your damn excuses for not exercising. For not wanting to take care of yourself.

If I gave you choice tomorrow that you either get to wake up with your health or your job, what would you pick?

Exactly! Yet, your words say one thing and your actions say another thing. You have the gym membership (great intention) but you never use it (bad follow through).

There is plenty of time and room in our lives and schedules to be able to take care of both our health and our work.

I work with people to help them understand how to build their schedule and then keep them accountable to the things they say they want and the promises they make to themselves so that they can achieve and sustain high performance.

Always open to having a conversation. Reach out when you are ready.

We are worthy of it all.
Yes, it takes time, yes it takes discipline, but you can do it.
There is no magic trick, IT IS JUST DOING THE DAMN WORK.

But it 💯% starts with believing in yourself.
