This past week I spent some time at UConn for my last session with the team. I had dinner one of the nights at an Asian restaurant, a small hole-in-the-wall type place with really good food. The manager came over to see how things were and noticed my friend, who happens to be Asian, at

I drove about three and a half hours to Somerset, PA tonight, looking at the amazing stars fill the quiet night sky. I am speaking tomorrow at the PA State Health and Phys Ed Convention at the Seven Springs Resort. On the ride, tonight’s “read” was Dr. Wayne Dyer’s CD series about living the life

It’s no secret I have been on the road a lot lately, logging miles like it’s my job. I am no stranger to a 5 hour drive, 2-3 hours of work, and a 5 hour drive back home. Even leaving at 10am to return at 3am the next morning isn’t odd anymore. Why? Well, let’s

Taking a deep breath to write this. Life isn’t always easy. But it’s not always hard either. It’s the in between times, the ones that are non-descript that sometimes cause the most trouble. We don’t really know how to handle them. They could be worse, yes. But they are hard just the same. I listen

Maybe it’s just my insomnia

The spring semester of my junior year in college started out as a rough one. I was going through some relationship issues, feeling what it felt like to get my heart broken, feeling like I was falling to pieces. So dramatic, as I look back now… but at the time, my whole life felt like

I was sitting at my desk in my office, and was working on my schedule. I pulled out my calendar and reazlied suddenly that “someday” wasn’t there. I flipped the page, thinking it was maybe next week. No… not there either. What could I have done with that? I thought, “Maybe I stuck it in

One of my favorite quotes from the late Coach John Wooden is “Be quick but don’t hurry.” I find myself saying that in my head at least 7 times a day. I am always rushing here and there to get things done, make things happen. One of the best reminders I can give myself is
