Hello Reader, I WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU. Let me know what you think of this newsletter please? News of the Week Last week I kicked off a new soccer season with my new team. At 37 years old, with average technical ability… My biggest assets aren’t skill. They’re: Fitness, Energy, Leadership …and most importantly, a winning mentality. Some of the younger kids have unreal talent. I genuinely admire their skill. But when it comes to being the hardest worker in the room? They don’t come close. And...

Hello Reader, I WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU. Let me know what you think of this newsletter please? News of the Week This year, I moved towns. New environment. New routines. New normal. And during that transition… I focused on my family, my fitness, and settling into work and school life. But I’ll be honest… At times, I felt like I was letting my community down. And it led me to ask a simple question: Who do you surround yourself with? ...Have you ever really thought about that? That question...

Hello Reader, I WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU. Let me know what you think of this newsletter please? News of the Week While the kids are running around looking for Easter eggs today… Let’s not forget what this weekend is really about. Jesus died on the cross for our sins.

They let fear hold them back.They let convenience...

Hello Reader, I WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU. Let me know what you think of this newsletter please? News of the Week I used to be the dad with a beer belly and unfit AF. I used to leave my favourite jeans top button untied and disguised with a belt. Hidden behind oversized t-shirts… I’d look in the mirror and not like the person I was becoming, I'd see “bigger” parents walking their kids in prams and think they are being intentional. While I was wasted and tired because I had more drinks than I...

Hello Reader, I WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU. Let me know what you think of this newsletter please? News of the Week I was scared AF, and almost backed out of an opportunity I have been working towards for the past few years...

They wanted me to train the soccer team with a strength and conditioning class. Believe it...

Last Monday, after a full day on site, I didn’t want to workout because I quite literally was “too busy” I got home later than normal, and instead of cracking open a beer and slouching on the couch, I got moving with my boys instead… After that session I asked myself a question: Why has “being busy" become some sort of bragging right? It should embarrass us...
