When I was a kid...

All pools weren't concrete and plaster.

I grew up with blowups, metal walled and dough boys, and the game was
to "Blow the water out of the pool", as much as possible, the more the
better.

We did "cannon balls', "watermelons", even the "Pittsburgh plunge" and
an occasional "wagon wheel whip"...and the winner was the one who got
the most people standing around...wet.

Well, time moves on, and I bet this weekend, we can all do what we do best, with our family and friends.

Will it be our mad cooking skills, unparalleled guitar hero genius,
world class card shark abilities, or just our inherent talent of
attempting to hit a golf ball.

Whatever it is, let's plan on getting some folks wet.

Yours in "Game" - Coach

You can always be a Winner and...

...not Always win.

We don't need to interpret every loss as losing, but as giving to that
which does not mean much to us...it's called "Choosing Our Battles".

Life is give and take, a beautiful balance, and even sometimes it's
better to let someone else "win", to help make the world a better place.

As the old saying goes "You can't win them all", you don't really want
to...just remember "The Winner sometimes takes the Loss".

Yours in - An occasional loss:) - Coach

Our Record

I have some questions about the "Record" that plays inside our heads.

To clarify...it's our internal self-talk, and is our perception of how
we think about ourselves and our abilities and situation...and it is
virtually the same today as it was yesterday and the day before and the
month before...

It's usually not as good as
it should be and we attempt to take it to the "Next Level" by wearing the "Winner"
stickers the day of the workshop, taking the picture in the throne -
confirming that you ARE Royalty, putting your goals on the Billion
dollar bill which signifies that you are worth at LEAST a Billion
dollars, throwing out positive blogs and other empowering stuff.

Why...because the "record" plays a big part in how we live now and in our futurre...and by
changing OUR "record" for the better, our lives do better as well.

Yours in a "Sweet Record" - Coach
