Following the Functional Path – Building and Rebuilding the Athlete is out now and available for purchase from Momentum Media at https://bit.ly/im1OnS It is an edited compilation of the first five years of my blog. At the risk of sounding like a shameless self-promoter I know it is good because I got a two thumbs up from my toughest critic, my wife Melissa. When she finished the final edit her exact words were: “I learned so much reading this, it was really interesting, I liked the stories.” Hopefully you will enjoy it as much as she did. I do hope you will be challenged by the ideas. It is my ninth book, a fact that has my ninth grade English teacher turning over in his grave. How can someone who got a solid D- in ninth grade English possibly write one book much less nine? Honestly my mother inspired me to not get discouraged, to never give up and to persevere. Had I listened to that teacher I would have quit school and gotten a job bagging groceries or driving a truck. There is a lesson here, a lesson I remind myself of everyday. Don’t listen to the naysayers. Pursue your dreams, find a way and make it happen. Be gritty and remember the story of the Little Engine That Could that my mom used to read to read to me when I was a little kid- “I think I can, I think I can, I think I can.” I am gathering material now for my tenth book. Thanks Mom for never letting me quit and believing in me. Sure wish you were here to read the book.
