Today I wrote about a man who had a huge impact on me - Mr. Story.
He wasn't my family. But he was such a big part of my life that I feel like he was.
Mr. Story was a psychology teacher, made you take your hats off in class, a strength coach when I met him, and coached high school football for many years.
If it wouldn't have been for him, I wouldn't be training today. I may not have even started martial arts.
He shaped everything - how I train, how I think, who I became as a martial artist and a coach.
My Foundation Challenge is daily writing so I can give back. This Substack is part of that commitment.
Today's action step:
Share a pic of someone who's had a big influence on your life.
Could be family.
Could be a coach.
A teacher.
A mentor.
A training partner.
Someone who's still here or someone you lost.
Doesn't matter if they're famous or if nobody knows them but you.
Drop the pic + one sentence about what they taught you.
Let's see who's shaped this community. 💪
