My Training Philosophy
A vast majority of training programs are derived purely from the physical aspects of the sports sciences due to their well-documented benefits. However, training of the body has a limited benefit. This is significant because the best athlete in the field of play is rarely the fastest, strongest, or biggest. The one that has the most astute knowledge of maximizing their gifts and talents makes the best athlete. Athletic development programs MUST identify these gifts and talents to avoid poorly designed programs that lead to injuries, athlete burnout, and long-term health issues. Training programs should consider every aspect of the athlete. This includes character development, health, and athletic performance.
Training of the body has a limited benefit, but godliness is beneficial in every way, since it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come (1 Timothy 4:8, HCSB).

A podcast and morning radio show that helps athletes maximize their gifts and talents to build a personal brand and enhance performance in life and the field of play. Instead of competing for external rewards, compete to fulfill your innate ability in a way that gives you both. This is the ultimate X factor!
This will sound weird. But as an athlete, competing against others never really motivated me. My best and most rewarding performances came from competing against myself.

Biblical Gifts & Talents
Spiritual Gifts
Spiritual gifts are given to believers by the Holy Spirit to build up the Body of Christ. They should be used in ministry to fulfill the Great Commission and equip fellow believers for the ministry God has called them.
Talents
Talents are encoded, by God, in your DNA at conception and are derived from a combination of genetic factors. They are typically strengthened or weakened naturally through the nurturing environment of our family and friends. Talents are inherent to Christians and non-Christians, alike, and can be used for either spiritual or non-spiritual purposes.

My Belief & Mission
Biblical instruction is the blueprint for living many meaningful and satisfying years. It explains the origins of life and Jesus's place in it. Subsequently, my approach to biological study extends from the premise that Jesus is the way and the truth and THE LIFE (John 14:6). The life sciences study living organisms through biology, physiology, and other related subjects. Biological science is the study of life with wide ranging application, including healthcare and sports performance. Sports science studies how the healthy human body works during exercise and how sports and physical activity promote health and performance from cellular to whole body perspectives. If Jesus is life, biological science is the study of Jesus and sports science studies biblical instruction in a sporting context. The sports sciences should form the core of our current healthcare system.
