Are You Selling Yourself Short?
Anyone who has ever played basketball has dreamed of dunking the ball. But for people like me, who tend to suffer from height challenges along with reduced jumping abilities, it’s out of reach. The basket, that is. But I can jump high enough to touch the bottom of the net. Granted, that’s over a foot away from […]

As another football season is about to begin, training camps are opening up. However, there is one star Running Back who will not be in camp.

Who hasn’t struggled with productivity? All of us want to be more productive. Perhaps one of the best places to start is to identify what’s holding you back. In my own life I have identified eight things that get in the way. Just being able to identify them has proved helpful. Perfectionism. This shows up […]
