Is your mental health a priority? Two weeks ago, an essay by Kevin Love of the Cleveland Cavaliers was published in The Players’ Tribune (“Everybody is Going Through Something”). In this moving article, Love explained what happened during a game this past November – he had a panic attack – and opened up about mental health. […]
You’ve gotta have heart All you really need is heart When the odds are sayin’ you’ll never win That’s when the grin should start You’ve gotta have hope Mustn’t sit around and mope Nothin’s half as bad as it may appear Wait’ll next year and hope… As a sports fan, I can really, really […]
“Baseball is ninety percent mental and the other half is physical.” ~Yogi Berra Whatever you’re trying to achieve in life, state of mind matters. The mental game can be the difference between success and failure. This is true for sports, lifestyle changes and any other goals you set for yourself. A Win 108 Years in […]
If you’re anything like me, you’ve struggled to feel like you fit in with your peers. I always felt “not good enough,” “not smart enough,” “not pretty enough,” “not skinny enough.” It’s enough to make your head spin, yep, spinning all the way to the candy counter.

In my last post I felt like Humpty Dumpty. Since then I’ve felt like a turtle. A VERY slow moving turtle. I’ve been going to physical therapy three times a week. It is SO hard. It is an incredible reminder of how amazing the human body really is, and how important it is to take […]

And, quite the opposite, it could actually be spreading false […]
Day 2 of 47. Well, it didn’t go exactly as I had planned, yet it’s been a great day. I accomplished a lot. I didn’t go to the gym, and that makes me mad. I want going to the gym to become second nature again. It used to be, and when it was I felt […]
