Faith Friday, Wk 1: Eliminate Distractions

​“Look straight ahead, and fix your eyes on what lies before you.”

‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭4:25‬ ‭(NLT‬‬)


Understand this: 

Just because it gets your attention doesn’t mean it deserves your attention! 


The most valuable currency in the world is the human attention span, which is about 8 seconds according to recent studies.  So every 8 seconds your attention span is controlled by you or something else.  


The distractions and threats will always be there.  As Men of God we have to take action to build mental walls to stay focused and secure our future blessings. 


Here is a question to ask when distractions and threats to our success come: 


Is this RELEVANT to my goals and the dreams God gave me? 


If the answer is “Yes,” welcome it and be blessed. 

If the answer is “No”, let it go!


Stay on God’s path for your life.  Eliminate the distractions. Go Win.

You Never Know Who’s Watching

​ You Never Know Who’s Watching You never know who’s watching. Your actions are always being watched.    I don’t say that to be negative but I say that so we can be more aware of our personal influence.  I got into sports performance coaching to bring the individual greatness out of young people.    We can teach these athletes so much about the X’s and O’s of skill development but sometimes we forget that our IMAGE and the EXAMPLE we set are more impactful than our words.   We recently had a team meeting where a psychology and sociology professor performed an experiment to increase the love and appreciation for each other. This experiment caused us to shed tears and express our deepest feelings about each other as coaches and players. I had multiple players come up to me and share that I’ve made a large impact on their lives just by the way I carry myself.  Some said that they never saw a black man carry himself with so much authority and strength...
