You might think when reading this verse, “Duhhh…” The problem is, people don’t train this way. When you run in a way to WIN the race, you have to give everything you have. You have to learn what it means to truly compete. You have to push through pain and tell your body to push farther than you ever have before.

The question I want us to ask ourselves in every area of our life is, “Are we truly running the race to WIN, or are we okay with just being in the race?”

This verse continues and says, “Everyone who competes in the race goes in strict training.”
Let’s go!
What do you need to eliminate?
What do you need to add?

Let’s go WIN the race.
Let’s go compete.
Let’s battle.
Let’s fight.

Go and WIN the moment!!!

2026 - You are here! We all have been defeated in some areas of our life and though a new year does not wipe out the past, it gives us a  chance to stop, reflect, dream, and create a plan. We don’t quit because we know our previous defeats are temporary. There WILL be wins in the future. We WILL keep going. We WILL be relentless. We WILL be resilient. We WILL learn from our mistakes. We WILL get another shot. We WILL go down fighting. We WILL keep our dreams alive. We WILL hope. We WILL outlast failure!

You might need to rekindle your dream, rework your plan, and recreate a new path, but quitting is NOT an option. LET’S GO!

WIN the Moment!

Dang!!! How true does this ring for you? It rings true for me.

Athletes: The success that you desire is simply in the work that you are not doing. It is hard and it is a grind, but there is no way around it. The habit of work leads to confidence, and confidence can carry us to the magic feeling of healthy pride.

To all: We all carry burdens from relationships, past hurts, resentments, and prior experiences. Even though we desire freedom, we tend to try and escape the things that weigh us down the most. We look to medicate ourselves with whatever works for us. We look to go around, rather than through the problem and it keeps us bound up in chains. My advice - quit avoiding and go through the pain in order to escape the suffering. The freedom is there waiting for you.

I am sure this quote can relate in so many ways. Let’s stand together and work! Encourage somebody today and have the courage to fight for yourself!

Go and WIN the Moment!

So often we want to judge how far other people go while our own dreams stick in our head and remain just that…a dream.

My latest blog post is using Bronny James as a discussion about being limited or limitless. I don’t think a dream is “just” a dream. https://open.substack.com/pub/threevsports/p/limited-or-limitless?r=5sxz54&utm_medium=ios

Check it out and go WIN the moment!

When we encourage somebody else, we cross the boundary of surface flattery. We literally instill COURAGE and BELIEF upon someone else to go and be great.

Greatness could be overcoming obstacles or facing your fears. Greatness could be just doing your very best at whatever task is at hand.

Encouragement is telling another the belief in what you truly see in them. Often times we see the superpowers in others long before they see it in themselves.

When we speak words of encouragement to others out loud, I truly believe it lifts our own soul. Our bodies start believing in others and in return, we believe in ourselves. The more belief we speak, the more our bodies believe.

Speak words of encouragement, not words of flattery.

Speak it to teammates, coaches, family members, spouses, friends, and children.

Go and WIN the Moment!!!

This is a part of my story. It’s time to share who I am and what is my mission.

I am giving all credit to my friend Vinnie DeRosa for mentioning this to me during a conversation we had a while back. I wrote it on my white board and I frequently look at it.

Here is the deal…

When you guess what your plan will be for the day or shoot at the hip and take a wild swing at improvement or growth, it usually ends up messy. It is rarely productive and repeatable.

BUT, when you plan out your next steps, you take out the thinking and get right into action and stacking.

With my athletes, the first thing I usually do is get them on an easy, repeatable morning and nightly routine. When they plan this ahead of time, it becomes second nature and eventually, a habit is built over time. I always include the nighttime routine of placing your clothes out for the next day. This eliminates the hassle of stress in the morning, and forces them to think and prepare for the next day.

So quit guessing how to make improvements. If you PLAN and PREPARE, you will surely PRODUCE!

Go & Win The Moment.

KNOW YOUR WHY!

We planted a new rose bush this past spring and only recently have seen it really begin to bloom. Just this morning, I saw 5 full blooms on it, and it meant something to me…

My wife and I have 3 children. My family is my “WHY”. The 5 of us blooming, at different rates, slightly different colors and shapes, but all together on one bush.

WHY do I push to be better? WHY do I choose growth? WHY do I pick myself up after failure? WHY will I continue to persevere?

I will do it for myself and for my family.

What is your WHY? Have you reminded yourself recently about your WHY? Do you still need to discover your WHY?

Find your WHY and let it propel you to great things!

Go & Win the moment!

I have fallen many times.

What I have learned more than anything is:

a) I must take responsibility for my part.
b) I must learn from it and hope to not repeat.
c) To get back up and try again, with new understanding, wisdom, and courage.

Are you allowing your life to work for you or against you?

Rise! Get Up! Win the moment!
