Happy Super Bowl LX- 2/08/26
Sunday is for clarity, not noise. The standard is simple—and it always has been. If you show up. If you do your job. If you work hard. If you know what’s required. If you hold yourself accountable. If you communicate with honesty and respect. You matter here. I’ll listen. I’ll invest. I’ll do whatever I can to help you grow. But if you don’t do those things—if you avoid responsibility, drift through expectations, or disappear when it’s time to own your role—this isn’t the place for you. Not out of ego. Out of respect for the standard. Sunday reminds me that leadership isn’t about collecting people. It’s about protecting culture. Standards aren’t negotiable, and alignment isn’t optional. The right people don’t need to be chased—they show themselves by how they live the work. As I reset today, I’m grateful for the people who choose discipline over excuses, clarity over chaos, and effort over entitlement. That’s who I’m building with. That’s who I’m going to war with. Tomorrow starts another week. Same standard. Same commitment. No compromise.
Push Forward
What I’m feeling / thinking: Feeling good. The task now is to remain composed and disciplined through the coming days. Consistency of mindset matters as much as action. What I’m focused on: Family and health. Both require presence, care, and deliberate attention. Obstacle and plan: The obstacle is myself. The plan is self-correction refine habits, sharpen discipline, and lead with clarity.
Good Sunday!
“You are the salt of the earth; but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trodden under foot by men. - Matthew 5:13
Morning Journal 2-9-26
Today is the most important day of my life. Not because of what might happen later. Not because of what I hope to become. But because now is the only place discipline can exist. I don’t need to be disciplined for a year. I don’t need to solve the next 12 months. I don’t need to carry the weight of every decision, every sacrifice, every hard moment that hasn’t arrived yet. That weight isn’t real. It’s imagined. And it’s heavy enough to keep people stuck. What is real is this moment. I can give 12 minutes of discipline without hesitation. Twelve focused minutes. Twelve minutes of doing the right thing. Twelve minutes of showing up with intent. Twelve months feels overwhelming because my mind tries to live in the future. But discipline is never built in the future. It’s built right now. If I can do 12 minutes, I can stack them. And if I stack them, the months take care of themselves. The people who stay disciplined don’t think about forever. They think about now. They show up today. They handle the next rep, the next decision, the next breath. My leap doesn’t require perfection. It doesn’t require certainty. It doesn’t require a full roadmap. It requires action in this moment. So today, I stop negotiating with the future. I stop overthinking the distance. I focus on the step in front of me.

Exposure
What I’m feeling / thinking: Hungry for success. We’ve had a strong intake of new athletes over the past week, and the momentum is clear. Growth follows consistent work. What I’m focused on: Continued development and increasing local exposure. Building trust within the community and expanding our reach through presence and performance. Obstacle and plan: Exposure is the constraint. The plan is to connect with local sports clubs, strengthen relationships, and create pathways that bring athletes into the system.
