Blogging for me is a special opportunity to share with you my latest writing, thinking and pondering about my work with athletes, coaches, leadership, performance AND various lessons I learn from life and observations I have made along the WAY. Occasionally, I will include quotes and passages I've read from others who are my teachers, mentors and guides, people so much wiser than myself... material that I use to keep my feet pointed in the right direction. Hope I keep a sense of humor as well.

ATHLETIC SERENITY PRAYER
Write this out, group text it to your friends and use it for your sports journey...Short Yet Sweet!!!
Grant me the serenity to accept my errors,mistakes, failures and losses,
Give me the courage to learn from these and change,
And afford me the wisdom to forgive myself, have self compassion, improve and go forward.
The price we all pay if we do not take this Yin-Yang path is to encounter harsh, rocky roads along the journey.
Sports is our perfect vehicle to help us cope with failure. After all, all that you've learned in life
has been the result of failure. I call this the "success of failure".
No posts for the next 7 days as I will be totally immersed in doing good work in Chicago.
