Chapter 1: The Turning Point
Chapter 1: The Turning Point
If we are being completely honest, I am still in awe that I am where i am in my life. These last couple of years have flew by pretty fast. Of course that comes with various trials & tribulations, but to be fair I must admit that I have a fair amount of positive events compared to the negative, so who am I to complain. Sometimes it can get overwhelming…. I have a pretty busy daily schedule especially since its HS basketball season. A normal weekday for me starts at 6AM with a facetime call from my son CJ before he gets on the bus, 7AM getting ready for work, I’m a Safe Room Instructor at the rival school across town , when i get off at 3;30PM I rush back across town to get to basketball practice. Practice ends at 6:15PM then i have skill workouts until 8PM. I get home call CJ see about how his school day and basketball game went, figure out workouts and scheduling for the next day, promote the brand on social media, then i watch Youtube on some of my favorite trainers until i fall asleep & Repeat.

Once my playing career was complete, I was aware that my habits would change but I have allowed them to turn for the worst. I am extremely out of basketball shape. I have been blessed to still have opportunity influence others with the game of basketball, and if I plan on reaching the level I want i must take better care of my body. I have challenged myself to not only eat better but get back in playing shape. Not just for MILE but more importantly for ME.
Although I have accomplished a multitude of things at the age of 27: Multiple years of Head Coaching experience to include Head Coaching a Elite AAU program on the Adidas Gauntlet and just being promoted to the Program Director position of Tennessee/Western Ky Vision, launching the MILE Website, & ETC… I still know i have another levei i can tap into.

I need a larger presence on social media so i can reach the masses, so that means i have to get out of my comfort zone and be more active on a consistent basis. I want to be a better trainer, so my players can reach their goals, and go past their potential; that means I need to study more and get in better shape. lastly I feel like Im not taking full advantage of my 24hrs, so I am going to start using a planner to be more precise with my time and help with organzation. I’m aware of my capabilities, but now I have to be more Disciplined and Structured to obtain my goals for myself, #TheBrand, & #TheProgram .
I have a very great support and resource system. My granny said “ if you hear something more than once, its probably true.” All of the people who I confide in have given me some of the same advice here lately: READ & WRITE more. In the beginning I told Pedro I was going to be best trainer in Western KY/ Middle TN and truthfully when I’m locked in, I AM. But because i have relaxed mentally I have allowed myself to not be where I believe I should both in Physically & with #TheBrand Im glad that Im real enough to look in the mirror and be real with myself, now I have to be Disciplined,Dedicated,& engaged mentally to reach my full potential! You find out what type of character a person has when they face adversity, I’m at the #TurningPoint… will i make the Right Decisions or Will i get Left behind?
