🦺 THE COMEBACK — Volume 2
I’m officially almost 2 months post-op.
As I’m writing this, I’m on my flight back to Birmingham after spending the weekend coaching in Indiana.
For the first time since surgery, I went the entire weekend without my scooter.
Twenty-one hours of coaching. Countless conversations. Countless breakthroughs.
This recovery has been one of the most humbling seasons of my life.
For a while, I wondered if my biggest fear had become my reality. Coaching has never just been what I do—it’s who I am.
Then something hit me this weekend…
Even when life takes away one of your greatest strengths, it can never take away your purpose.
I may not be flipping yet, but I was still able to coach. I was still able to pour into athletes. I was still able to help change lives.
John and I watched athlete after athlete break through mental blocks that had held them back for months—some for years.
The crazy part?
Most of them didn’t need a new skill.
They needed someone to believe in them before they believed in themselves.
Sometimes a five-minute conversation can change the direction of someone’s entire career.
That’s why coaching matters.
That’s why leadership matters.
And that’s why I’ll never let adversity write the ending to my story.
If there’s one thing I hope you take away from this, it’s this:
Your circumstances do not define your ceiling. Your response to them does.
Every setback carries an opportunity to become someone stronger, wiser, and more resilient than you were before.
This comeback isn’t just about my Achilles.
It’s about proving—to myself and to everyone watching—that you can lose your footing without losing your purpose.
We’re coming back.
Stronger.
Smarter.
More grateful.
See you all at the top.
