Guiding individuals to grow through character, integrity, and the little things done well.
After a dedicated career as an educator and long-time coach, I have spent decades helping young people navigate the challenges of sports and life.
My journey has been defined not by the scoreboard, but by the relationships built and the lessons learned along the way. I believe in the power of autonomy, allowing individuals to learn from their own mistakes, and fostering self-reliance.
Life Lessons from the Gridiron and the Classroom
"Success in football and life is achieved not through singular 'big plays' but by consistently performing the 'little things done well' to make gradual progress."
In Moving the Chains, I explore the life lessons learned through my experiences as a football player, teacher, and coach. This book isn't just about football; it's about the "little things"—the daily habits of building positive character and integrity that lead to long-term success.
We explore the importance of teamwork, adaptability, and critical thinking. It is an invitation to look beyond the external accolades and move the chains of your own life, one down at a time.
Effective leadership is built on a foundation of positive character traits.
The foundation of all effective leadership. True success comes from honesty with oneself and others, even when it is difficult.
Leading by serving others. Treating all individuals with respect and finding fulfillment in personal effort and positive impact.
Avoiding the trap of "showboating" or seeking false praise. Focus on self-awareness and the internal standard of excellence.
