Since a lot of you are new here allow me to introduce myself. My name is Derek and this is a small glimpse into my story. I pray it encourages you and hope you follow along on this journey with me.

Throughout high school and college, basketball was my everything. I was known as a hooper and that was it. I placed my hope, trust, and life into the sport and it made up my whole identity with nothing to fall back on.

Played in my first 3 games as freshman before suffering my first minor injury and a covid breakout that cut our season in half. After my freshman year I had a foot surgery that had me on crutches for 6 months. Redshirted then came back my junior year played the whole season, started a couple games then tore my patella tendon and had another surgery and that was the end of my basketball career.

Without my sport I had to find another way to be accepted and make myself happy. I thought the answer to that was alcohol, drugs, and parties. I was out chasing a false reality chasing things that didn’t exist. Trying to find happiness in things that would never leave me truly satisfied and…

It led me to my lowest. This video is on the drive home from Columbus Ohio where my mother was at a treatment center getting help with her anxiety because it had gotten to a dangerous point. Never having the father figure in my house I put a lot of the damage of our family on my shoulders as being the oldest male in the house. It broke me. I was out of options. I thought I had failed and the dreams that I once had were unreachable at this point. I didn’t have basketball to fall back on. I had no idea what to do. I was lost, broken, and ready to give up.

I found running and thought this was the answer, but it never fully satisfied me. I was still empty, just empty with a hobby.

Enter Jesus Christ. Jesus was calling to me for so long and when I finally opened the door, everything changed. He gave me a joy that I didn’t think was possible. He showed me what Love really was. All the searching and filling the void of things had finally come to an end because Jesus Christ was what I was looking for.

The decline chest fly is a chest exercise to add to your strength training routine. Keep a slight, consistent bend in your elbows, control the lowering phase, and bring your arms together without swinging.

Choose a weight you can control through a comfortable range of motion.

Save this for your next chest workout. taken in Cincinnati by @dayswithderek

We love a good Monday track workout even if I didn’t want to go and had to pee the hold time :))

Shoutout @mikegiddz and @sidewalkathletics taught me a lot about interval work outs and help me take 20 minutes off my marathon time in 5 months.

HMU with any questions regarding running or speed work!

Day 1/50 — Decide who you want to become.

“Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think.” — Romans 12:2 (NLT)

Our whole lives we’ve been sold a lie about what a man is. For the next 50 days, we’re letting God show us the truth.

TODAY’S CHALLENGE
Write down the man you want to become. Be specific. Then pray into it. On Day 50, we’re reading it back to see what God’s transformed us into.

📝 JOURNAL PROMPTS

1. Who do you want to be on Day 50? Physically, spiritually, mentally. Be specific.
2. Where have you been copying the world without even realizing it?
3. Why are you doing this, and who else benefits when you become that man?

TODAY’S STANDARDS
Morning + night prayer · @dayswithderek Daily devotional · 45-min workout · Journal (1 gratitude, 1 win, 1 lesson)

This is day one of becoming the man God is calling us to be. Follow along on this journey with us.
