21
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 2: I'll be your host today, doctor Zach Clinton. And something

22
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 2: that some of our audience may not know about me

23
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:12,760
Speaker 2: is that over the last several years, I was afforded

24
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:17,120
Speaker 2: an incredible opportunity to serve with the Liberty Athletics Athletic Department,

25
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:19,560
Speaker 2: And the big thing was I get to serve as

26
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:21,760
Speaker 2: a counselor and someone who kind of focuses in on

27
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 2: peak performance and motivational maybe sport and performance psychology. And

28
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 2: something that was afforded to me this past spring was

29
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 2: working a little bit more closely with the Liberty University

30
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 2: football program. Along the way, I got introduced to our

31
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 2: very special guests today. Have you ever met someone that

32
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,399
Speaker 2: you walk into the room and there's just this sense

33
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:45,319
Speaker 2: of energy and charisma and somebody that is incredibly devoted

34
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 2: to what God has called them to do, but also

35
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 2: I believe somebody that is really committed to making people better,

36
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 2: especially those that God has entrusted to his surrounding. That's

37
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 2: the guy that I get the opportunity of sitting across

38
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 2: from today. He's the director of Football Strain think Conditioning

39
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 2: for the Liberty University football program. His name is Coach

40
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 2: Chad Scott. Chad, my friend, thank you so much for

Speaker 3: it and looking forward to it.

44
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 2: I mean when I say that you are somebody that

45
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 2: brings this passion, this energy, somebody that really does focus

46
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:19,799
Speaker 2: on bettering and developing those around you. Every room I've

47
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 2: ever been in with you, right, I walk out feeling lighter,

48
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 2: feeling encouraged, feeling motivated, feeling sharpened. So I'm grateful for

49
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 2: the impact man, that you have on my life, directly

50
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 2: and indirectly, for the lives of countless people Chris Terry

51
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 2: and more that you continue to pour into an invest in.

52
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 2: So again, grateful for you. I know you're coming off

53
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:40,239
Speaker 2: with something pretty cool though. I know you're just getting

54
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:43,639
Speaker 2: back from the Greenbrier with the New York Giants training camp.

55
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:44,080
Speaker 1: Is that correct?

56
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, New York Giants so talked us a little bit.

57
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:48,240
Speaker 3: It was awesome. It was really cool.

58
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:50,639
Speaker 4: I took a couple of my kids up there, Yes,

59
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 4: and former player of mine Isaiah likely plays for the

60
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 4: Giants now, and another one of the coaches, Jordan Donald.

61
00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 4: We had an opportunity to go up and watch the

62
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 4: Giants compete and had an opportunity to meet Jamis Winston

63
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 4: and Calvin Austin and and you know, and really more

64
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 4: than anything to be able to watch the NFL guys

65
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:10,800
Speaker 4: in their craft, you know, and a lot of fans,

66
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,919
Speaker 4: of course, are watching who's making the plays and differ things.

67
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,239
Speaker 4: I'm watching what the guys are like between the reps,

68
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 4: you know, and how they're warming up. And then but

69
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 4: the thing that made me most happy than anything was

70
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 4: after the practice was over with, had an opportunity to

71
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 4: see and talk to Isaiah.

72
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 3: You know. And but what people didn't see.

73
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 4: He stood out there for easily forty five minutes after

74
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 4: practice and he must have signed over a hundred balls,

75
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 4: taking pictures with little kids, and it's just a guy

76
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 4: that's just loves the game of football, and he's doing

77
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 4: it for the right reasons, and he's really trying to

78
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 4: pour back. And as a coach who saw that young

79
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 4: man as a young man and seeing him now as

80
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 4: a man and a husband, it's really cool to watch

81
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 4: that development. And ultimately that's why I do what I do,

82
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 4: and I take great honor and getting to be able

83
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 4: to watch young men, whether they play in the NFL

84
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 4: or whether they you know, just go out and there

85
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 4: they work in a real job, I say, you know,

86
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 4: or and their great husbands and things.

87
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 3: That's really cool to see.

88
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 2: Isaiah is the really big, tall, lengthy tight end right

89
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 2: very much.

90
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 1: So he came from Baltimore. Is that great?

91
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 3: He did?

92
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, he so we we went to the Ravens and

93
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:16,719
Speaker 4: saw him in the Ravens And now the journey's in

94
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:18,719
Speaker 4: New York. So and I told Isaiah, I'm gonna follow

95
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 4: him wherever he goes, you know. And and he's awesome

96
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 4: and he's been, uh, he's been supportive, but throughout my

97
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:26,160
Speaker 4: entire year, you know, with my wife, and it's been

98
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 4: really cool to cool to see that. But yeah, I mean,

99
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:30,840
Speaker 4: it was an unbelievable the whole the whole thing, the

100
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:31,280
Speaker 4: whole day.

101
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 3: It was I didn't want it to end, you know,

102
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 3: but we had a great time. It was awesome.

103
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 1: Special moments.

104
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 5: It really is.

105
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:38,160
Speaker 2: Not only as a coach, like you said, it's got

106
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:40,279
Speaker 2: to be rewarding to be able to see an athlete

107
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 2: rise to that, but also very humbling to think that

108
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:46,160
Speaker 2: you had a small part just in his journey along

109
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:48,160
Speaker 2: the way to develop him into the man, the leader,

110
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 2: the player that he now is and continues to be.

111
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:52,600
Speaker 2: But also the special time with your family, Man, those

112
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,479
Speaker 2: are exciting moments. I love anywhere my mom or my

113
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 2: dad or I go whenever they're around, right, My mom

114
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 2: and Dad are always trying to push me to go somewhere,

115
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:02,039
Speaker 2: to like a game of some sorts because they are

116
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 2: almost like vicariously reliving those playing days when I was

117
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 2: coming up through the system, and they miss traveling, they

118
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 2: miss the energy, all the different things, the crowds, they

119
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:13,719
Speaker 2: miss it. So whenever we get the chance to go

120
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:15,920
Speaker 2: to a game together, we go. And so we were

121
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,720
Speaker 2: just in Colorado and my dad text me and was like, Hey,

122
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:21,359
Speaker 2: let's get some tickets to the Colorado Rockies game. And

123
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 2: going together and spending that cherished time, there's nothing like it.

124
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 2: But Coach, before we dive into your story your testimony today,

125
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 2: I just wanted to talk a little bit about this

126
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 2: year's Liberty University football team.

127
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 1: I want to talk about strength and conditioning.

128
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:35,279
Speaker 2: I want to talk about all that stuff, and then

129
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 2: we'll dive in your story in testimony. But knowing that

130
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,279
Speaker 2: the season is right around the corner, I know there's

131
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 2: an energy, there's a buzz on the mountain here at Liberty.

132
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 2: People are so excited to get back to football season,

133
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:47,119
Speaker 2: to get back to the games. You guys are opening

134
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 2: up here in a couple of weeks against James Madison University,

135
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:52,919
Speaker 2: which has really become an in state rival. There's national

136
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 2: attention on the game. I think it's going to be televised.

137
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,919
Speaker 2: It's a big opportunity for Liberty Football in the program

138
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 2: to in a sense, get back on track. Last year

139
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 2: wasn't really the year that you guys were hoping for.

140
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 2: Let's just be honest, right, probably a little disappointing. But

141
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:07,920
Speaker 2: this is a year where we're not just bouncing back.

142
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 2: It's like, let's write our own story. Speak to just

143
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,599
Speaker 2: the energy the expectation for this year's team.

144
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:16,599
Speaker 4: Well, you know what's exciting about being at Liberty is

145
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 4: the energy that comes from the fans. The support that

146
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:23,480
Speaker 4: we get is second to none. And that's that's top down,

147
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 4: from our athletic director, of president, everyone, and it's really

148
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:28,160
Speaker 4: really cool.

149
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:29,599
Speaker 3: It's an all in mentality.

150
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:34,160
Speaker 4: And I'm talking and you've seen it firsthand and across

151
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:36,840
Speaker 4: all fronts with all sports, and they're bought into what

152
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 4: we're trying to do on the football side of things.

153
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:41,840
Speaker 4: And our guys are extremely competitive, and that's one thing

154
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 4: I've noticed. They're very humble and Ego has left the

155
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 4: building a long time ago, and we have a lot

156
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:50,480
Speaker 4: of talent, but more in anything. We have a lot

157
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 4: of really good young men in that program, you know,

158
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 4: and and the time that.

159
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 3: You spent with them in January was amazing, you know, and.

160
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 1: All the grate opportunity, oh man.

161
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:03,239
Speaker 4: And I tell you when we when we went through

162
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 4: our summer program and in camp and different things like that,

163
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 4: it always brought me back to the story that you

164
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 4: shared with them about the Farmer's hand. And you know,

165
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 4: I said, I can sleep through a storm, and I

166
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 4: tell people that, and that's that's.

167
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 3: Kind of where I am with our guys. You know.

168
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 4: It's you know, we can sleep through the storm because

169
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 4: the preparation has been done and the guys have put

170
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 4: the work in. You know, we've we've crossed the t's

171
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 4: and dotted the a's and done it. We what things

172
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 4: that we needed to do, you know, and it wasn't

173
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 4: always pretty. We had to we had to do some

174
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 4: soul searching and and we had to do a lot

175
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 4: of hard work to get there, you know.

176
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 3: But the uh, the core of the team has been

177
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 3: really special.

178
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 2: I'm going to stop this right there and jump in

179
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 2: to say, you're listening to build different I'm Zach Clinton.

180
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 2: We need to break for a brief message from our sponsors.

181
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 2: I'll be back with our guests to keep the conversation flowing.

182
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 2: Right after this, you're listening to life audio. You're the

183
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 2: guy who's in the trenches with these guys every single day,

184
00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 2: and let's be honest, you have to bring a different

185
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 2: level of energy and charisma because the things that you're

186
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:06,679
Speaker 2: doing with them, the strength training, the conditioning, especially the running.

187
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 2: I saw you guys just rain the mountain and carried

188
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 2: some chains and did some group work together, Like that's hard,

189
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 2: that's suffering, and I'm just wondering. You guys have a

190
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 2: word for the year, and it's standard. Speak to from

191
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 2: a coach's perspective, again, you guys are all in. You

192
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 2: guys are all moving in the same direction. It doesn't

193
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 2: matter if it's strength and conditioning, to nutrition, to mental health,

194
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 2: champion performance, coaching staff, everybody has to be all in

195
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:33,200
Speaker 2: on this one word. Speak to the significance of that

196
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 2: word if you would standard.

197
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:36,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, So coach Chawell came up with the word standard,

198
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:38,960
Speaker 4: and I think ultimately that that just goes down to

199
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 4: what are your non negotiables and who are you not

200
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 4: just in the facility, but who are you twenty four

201
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 4: hours a day when no one's watching, you know. And

202
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 4: with standard, there can't be an ego with standard, you know.

203
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 4: And that standard, you know, has to ring true to

204
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 4: the people around you, and you have to hold people

205
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:58,439
Speaker 4: to that standard. And again, going back to your non negotiables,

206
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 4: what are those? If you want to be some and

207
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:03,320
Speaker 4: I and I've told our guys, you know, give up

208
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:05,080
Speaker 4: what you want in a moment for something you want

209
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:08,080
Speaker 4: down the road, you know, and then that's our instant gratification.

210
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:11,080
Speaker 4: As we as humans, we automatically we want something right

211
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:12,600
Speaker 4: in them, right in them, you know, right when we

212
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 4: want it, you know. But is that what's going to

213
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:16,200
Speaker 4: be best for us? And that's kind of where our

214
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 4: standard lies. If our standard is, hey we're going to

215
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 4: get some rest or we're not going to do this,

216
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:22,960
Speaker 4: or we're not going to do that, or hey, I'm

217
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 4: getting four hours of mobility every day or whatever it is,

218
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 4: and we're going.

219
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 3: To hold true to those every day.

220
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 4: And it might not be it might not be fun,

221
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 4: it might be something we want to do in the moment,

222
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:33,719
Speaker 4: but it's going to pay off down the road for us.

223
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:36,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I'm interested because you mentioned that a

224
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 2: lot of the guys have checked their ego at the door, right,

225
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 2: that's an expectation, that's his standard. I know for you

226
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:44,000
Speaker 2: guys at the Strength and Additioning department, that's a standard

227
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 2: for the Liberty University football program.

228
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 1: That's just what it's going to be.

229
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:52,200
Speaker 2: But I'm interested from a strength and additioning perspective with NIL,

230
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 2: with transfer portal, with guys who maybe are coming in

231
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:58,079
Speaker 2: with a little bit of entitlement. This is not just Liberty, right,

232
00:09:58,120 --> 00:09:59,959
Speaker 2: this is all departments, all sports.

233
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 1: Have you seen a change in that?

234
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 2: And then I would ask if you have seen a change,

235
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:07,560
Speaker 2: how do you make sure that these guys are coming in.

236
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 2: They're punching the clock every day, they're doing what's required

237
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:13,440
Speaker 2: to the very best of their ability. They're upholding a standard,

238
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 2: they're setting it. They are the standard. How do you

239
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 2: make sure that you're getting the best out of guys

240
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:21,840
Speaker 2: who almost sometimes come to a school like Liberty, it's

241
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:23,839
Speaker 2: not a Power five school. They're kind of viewing it

242
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 2: as a stepping stone to get to where they want

243
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 2: to be, and they might overlook the opportunity.

244
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 4: Well, I think first off, it starts with the relationships

245
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:34,200
Speaker 4: and meeting them where they're at right, And when we're

246
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 4: getting kids, might I might get a guy that's going

247
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 4: to come in.

248
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:38,600
Speaker 3: He might be with me for nine months, he might

249
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:39,560
Speaker 3: be with me for four years.

250
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 4: Who knows, right, But the relationship starts the minities on

251
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 4: campus and meeting him again where he's at, learning his story,

252
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 4: learn where he came from, and understanding kind of who

253
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:51,720
Speaker 4: he is off the field.

254
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:53,440
Speaker 3: And where he wants to go. You know, what are

255
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:54,080
Speaker 3: your goals?

256
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 4: What do you want to be in life? Where do

257
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 4: you want to take this? And if you want to

258
00:10:58,080 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 4: if your thing is.

259
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 3: Hey, I want to go to the NF, oh well,

260
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 3: how can I help you get there? You know? And

261
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 3: then also is consistency every single day.

262
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 4: You know, myself and my four other guys, Chris Terry,

263
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:11,840
Speaker 4: Corey Miller, Tessa Uha and Jacob Sanie, they do an

264
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 4: amazing job of being consistent in every single thing.

265
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 3: So whether you're the number one starter or.

266
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:19,559
Speaker 4: Whether you're a guy that just showed up and you're

267
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 4: fighting for a roster spot, you're getting treated the same,

268
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 4: you know, And that goes back to when I played.

269
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 4: You know, my strength coach treated me that way as well,

270
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 4: and I think with that with relationships and being consistent

271
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 4: and regardless of what's happening outside of the building. Me

272
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:38,600
Speaker 4: personally in my personal life, when I walk through that door,

273
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:41,960
Speaker 4: I'm the same coach got every single day period. You know.

274
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 2: It's funny as you talk about relationships and consistency, you

275
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 2: brought up your former strength coach and I know a

276
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 2: little bit about your story. I know Liberty covered a

277
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 2: kind of a story on you where there was sharing

278
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 2: how you got into coaching, just your background, the backwater

279
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:56,720
Speaker 2: behind your story. And I'm just thinking about a guy

280
00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 2: who's coming through the ranks.

281
00:11:57,840 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 1: I heard, coach.

282
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:02,320
Speaker 2: If I'm not mistaken, you played college football Eastern Kentucky.

283
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 1: You played for a legend of a coach.

284
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:06,040
Speaker 2: You thought you were going to go, you know, in

285
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 2: this law school kind of career, but then it gets

286
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 2: segmented and kind of redirected in a completely different way

287
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:14,720
Speaker 2: to where you find yourself as a lead director of

288
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 2: a strength and conditioning football program today. Help us understand, like,

289
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:21,160
Speaker 2: go through some of those details, unpack your story.

290
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 1: How in the world did you get here?

291
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:25,079
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it's uh, it's it's a wild road. I'll

292
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 3: tell ye.

293
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 4: So I uh, I'm I'm, I'm five to nine, maybe

294
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 4: five to.

295
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 3: Ten on a kid day, you know. And and I

296
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:32,040
Speaker 3: always wanted to.

297
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 4: Play Division one football, and I was and I was

298
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:36,599
Speaker 4: told that I was too short, too slow, I was

299
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 4: a heavy set kid, you know, I was too weak,

300
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:40,720
Speaker 4: I was all the different things right, and I wasn't

301
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:42,080
Speaker 4: going to ever do it. And so I kind of

302
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 4: had a chip on my shoulder, you know, Hey, I'm

303
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 4: gonna I'm gonna do I'm gonna find my way into somewhere.

304
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:48,720
Speaker 4: I had the opportunity to walk on at Eastern Kentucky

305
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:52,320
Speaker 4: University and and and really just kind of, you know,

306
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 4: just kind of forged my way in that walk on

307
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 4: mentality and and kind of worked my way through the system.

308
00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:00,760
Speaker 4: But always I was really fortunate with our our football

309
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 4: coaches and our strength coaches treated me for the person

310
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 4: of who I was as a man, not for the

311
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:07,960
Speaker 4: football player that I could have been, and in what

312
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:09,720
Speaker 4: I was doing on and off the field, and it

313
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:12,560
Speaker 4: was really cool. And you know, and and my strength

314
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 4: coach at the time, his name was Mike Kent, and

315
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 4: h and Coach Kent was instrumental and to be in

316
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 4: helping me along the way. He just came up to

317
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 4: me one day and said, Hey, I think you'd be

318
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 4: a good strength coach. And at the time, you know,

319
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:26,520
Speaker 4: he was our first strength coach at university, so I

320
00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:28,440
Speaker 4: had no idea what a strength coach really even was,

321
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:31,040
Speaker 4: you know. And and then so but I had this idea.

322
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 4: I was a political science major. I had an idea

323
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:35,520
Speaker 4: that I wanted to go to law school. Really, I

324
00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:36,959
Speaker 4: think my mom was kind of my mom and dad

325
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:39,959
Speaker 4: were pushing me in, you know, and and and then

326
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:42,560
Speaker 4: so you know, but this this idea of being in

327
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:44,840
Speaker 4: a weight room and and really kind of being able

328
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 4: to affect, you know, people at the ground level of

329
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:49,600
Speaker 4: who they are and really kind of to the core

330
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:52,079
Speaker 4: of their heart and just pour into them. That really

331
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 4: kind of just resonated with me. Well, then coach Kent left,

332
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 4: and then Jeff Benard came in, another strength coach, and

333
00:13:57,960 --> 00:13:58,840
Speaker 4: it was the same thing.

334
00:13:59,240 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 3: You know, I was.

335
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 4: I was a guy that was fourth to third fourth

336
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:03,840
Speaker 4: string on a depth chart. You know, I played special

337
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:05,760
Speaker 4: teams here and there. You know, but if we but

338
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 4: if I played, we were either getting beat really bad

339
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:09,480
Speaker 4: or we were winning really good.

340
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 3: You know. So you know, it was kind of one of.

341
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 4: Those I you know, but I was really really involved

342
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 4: in a weight room and I loved it. And so

343
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 4: then kind of fast forward my boss at the time,

344
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 4: John Michael Davis, he's the director at East Kentucky Now.

345
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:25,480
Speaker 4: He gave me an opportunity to come and volunteer, and

346
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:27,880
Speaker 4: he said, you know what, I don't know if I'm

347
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 4: gonna have every position because he was the only strength coach,

348
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:33,840
Speaker 4: and I showed up. I volunteered for about nine months,

349
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 4: and nine months you know, after that, I got a

350
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 4: GA job, and GA job kind of rolled into assistant job,

351
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:42,200
Speaker 4: and I'm grateful for every opportunity John Michael gave me,

352
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 4: and he and I grew close, and then I got

353
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 4: the head job at Charleston Southern in ty twenty twelve,

354
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:51,600
Speaker 4: and then twenty thirteen coach Chadwell came along and the

355
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 4: rest is history. So I've been real fortunate enough to

356
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 4: take it to learn under a guy like coach Chadwell.

357
00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 2: I was gonna ask I can tell that you guys

358
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:00,520
Speaker 2: are very close when he speaks of you, every time

359
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 2: I've had the opportunity of connecting with him, he just

360
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 2: brings up this idea that like you're one of his guys,

361
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:07,720
Speaker 2: you're one of his brothers in a sense, speak to

362
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:10,440
Speaker 2: what that relationship has been like as it's been forged

363
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 2: at different schools, different levels, different universities, different records.

364
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 1: Speak that if you would.

365
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:18,360
Speaker 4: You know, I credit every single bit of my kind

366
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:21,040
Speaker 4: of coaching philosophy and the way that I speak into

367
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 4: young men to Coach Chadwell, because you know, when Coach

368
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:27,040
Speaker 4: Chadwell and I met in twenty thirteen, you know, it

369
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 4: was it was just transformational and the way that he

370
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 4: was pouring into guys and the way that he would

371
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 4: really speak life in the guys and you know, through

372
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:38,840
Speaker 4: core values of a program and non negotiables and really

373
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 4: training guys, you know, to be great husbands and great fathers.

374
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 4: One day, man, I loved every bit of that, and

375
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:47,200
Speaker 4: I just kind of sat back and just watched him,

376
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:50,280
Speaker 4: you know, kind of build those programs and build up

377
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 4: you know, Charleston, Southern and Coastal Carolina and really just

378
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:55,680
Speaker 4: kind of anything that I could.

379
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:57,080
Speaker 3: Do to help him along the way, I've been all

380
00:15:57,160 --> 00:15:57,560
Speaker 3: up for it.

381
00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:00,920
Speaker 2: So love coach. Grateful for every opportunit unity he's entrusted

382
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:02,760
Speaker 2: to me as well. He's just a good man. He's

383
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:06,280
Speaker 2: an incredible leader. Continuing to stand with him each and

384
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 2: every day. But Coach, I'm just thinking about you, and

385
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 2: I'm thinking about the hundreds knowing football programs though, because

386
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:13,400
Speaker 2: there's literally about one hundred and some guys on every

387
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:16,520
Speaker 2: single team and every single roster, the thousands of guys

388
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:19,240
Speaker 2: that you've invested in over the years, that's a pretty

389
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 2: probably humbling thought to think of that you've had that

390
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 2: great of an impact and opportunity to make an impact

391
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 2: on that many lives. It goes back to the Billy

392
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 2: Graham quote right that a coach can impact more people

393
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 2: in a given year than most people can in a lifetime.

394
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 2: I on one hundred percent believe that because I can

395
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:36,440
Speaker 2: think back to countless coaches that I've had, even one

396
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:38,880
Speaker 2: of my strength coaches named Shelton Stevens here at Liberty

397
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 2: who was the Olympic performance like coach there for a

398
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:44,520
Speaker 2: long time. He's had a profound impact on my life

399
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:46,840
Speaker 2: and still does to this day. We still text, we

400
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 2: still reach out. I'm supposed to jump on a call

401
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:50,880
Speaker 2: with him today, even just a solid man. But I'm

402
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 2: just thinking about you, and I know that you see

403
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:56,200
Speaker 2: guys in some of their hardest moments. Again, you see

404
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 2: them in the most difficult moments maybe of their day.

405
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:03,400
Speaker 2: And I'm wondering what separates the best from the rest,

406
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:06,399
Speaker 2: What separates good leaders from poor ones?

407
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:10,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think with that, I think it's it's stripping

408
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:14,760
Speaker 4: away your own ego and putting putting your kind of

409
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:17,440
Speaker 4: your goals aside, or your wishes aside, or whatever you

410
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:19,800
Speaker 4: want to look at it, and just pouring into the

411
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:22,119
Speaker 4: people around you. I mean, God put us on this

412
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:25,479
Speaker 4: earth to build relationships with people and spread his kingdom.

413
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:31,040
Speaker 4: And I draw so much joy and excitement from watching

414
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 4: young men pull values of things that we've taught them

415
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 4: along the way and just kind of grow. And you

416
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:40,320
Speaker 4: see that that just as they mature from they're eighteen

417
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:42,880
Speaker 4: years old till however old, and we've stayed in contact

418
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:45,159
Speaker 4: with them, and you get invited to their weddings, and

419
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 4: you get invited to, you know, a baby shower, you

420
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:51,240
Speaker 4: get invited to a birthday party, and you know, those

421
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:53,360
Speaker 4: to me, are you know you want to win Obviously,

422
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:55,480
Speaker 4: you want to win rings and all the different things,

423
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 4: but man, those wedding invitations or those phone calls and

424
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:01,479
Speaker 4: those text messages or second you know, and it's and

425
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:04,120
Speaker 4: I think you know, when you look at leadership, it's

426
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:08,919
Speaker 4: it's leading by example and it's also zero ego, and

427
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 4: then whatever you can do to lift people up around you,

428
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:14,480
Speaker 4: then you can find a way to do it.

429
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:16,280
Speaker 2: It's so interesting because there's a lot of different styles

430
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 2: of coaches, right. There's like the recruiter coaches who are

431
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:21,640
Speaker 2: pretty hard nosed, right, they have this is my way

432
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:23,920
Speaker 2: or the highway. You have to fit into my system.

433
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 2: Then there's some of the relational coaches where it's like, man,

434
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:28,480
Speaker 2: I want to invest in this person. I want to

435
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:31,320
Speaker 2: attune myself to his or her strengths or gifts. I

436
00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:33,040
Speaker 2: want to make sure that I get the best out

437
00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:35,920
Speaker 2: of them. Both can win. Let's just be honest with you. There,

438
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:37,840
Speaker 2: both can win. Both can do a really good job

439
00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 2: at a program, but it's recognizing which one has the

440
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:43,719
Speaker 2: greater opportunity for impact because what you're doing, you're not

441
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:46,480
Speaker 2: just investing in somebody's physical strength. You're trying to help

442
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:49,760
Speaker 2: them grow in confidence and resilience and mental toughness and

443
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 2: all of these different things. I'm just thinking about a

444
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:55,000
Speaker 2: coach out there listening today, Yeah, who saw that you're

445
00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:56,560
Speaker 2: going to be on the pod? They're like man, he's

446
00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:58,359
Speaker 2: had a profound impact on my life, right, I know

447
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:00,480
Speaker 2: he's having a profound impact on count lives.

448
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:02,720
Speaker 1: I want to know, for that coach.

449
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:04,720
Speaker 2: Out there today who doesn't really know why they're getting

450
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:07,960
Speaker 2: into this, what's the purpose in your mind behind coaching?

451
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:08,479
Speaker 3: To begin with?

452
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:10,479
Speaker 4: Well, I'll tell you our you know, when I was

453
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 4: with coach Chadwell, you know, we were given the book

454
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:16,119
Speaker 4: three D Coach and and and I really kind of

455
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:19,000
Speaker 4: dived into that. And you know, and we had coaches,

456
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:22,600
Speaker 4: it's amongst everybody, and since the coach is it and

457
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:25,560
Speaker 4: and our purpose was to capture the hearts and minds

458
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:28,040
Speaker 4: of our players while investing in their lives. And I

459
00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:30,159
Speaker 4: think that speaks to the truth of everything, you know,

460
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:32,119
Speaker 4: And and i'd see and I've and I've given a

461
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:34,480
Speaker 4: talk about this before. When you know, and it was

462
00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:38,080
Speaker 4: the three most important muscles of the body. And everybody

463
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:40,960
Speaker 4: thinks biceps, bench press, all the different things, but and

464
00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:43,840
Speaker 4: but truthfully, the three most important muscles in the body,

465
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:45,919
Speaker 4: it's the heart, it's the mind, and it's the tongue.

466
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 4: And by training those three muscles, we everything else falls

467
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:54,120
Speaker 4: in line. And and really pouring into their heart every

468
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:57,359
Speaker 4: single day, and then we can transform in their brain

469
00:19:57,880 --> 00:19:59,800
Speaker 4: negative thoughts into positive thoughts.

470
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:00,840
Speaker 3: And when you do.

471
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:03,560
Speaker 4: That, that talk that comes out, that what comes out

472
00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:05,359
Speaker 4: of their tongue, what comes out of their mouth, it

473
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:08,680
Speaker 4: speaks positivity into people. And really, if we can master

474
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:11,760
Speaker 4: those three muscles, then we can be really successful, you know.

475
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:14,320
Speaker 4: And kind of when we look at coaching and kind

476
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 4: of going back to leadership, one of the the most

477
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:22,320
Speaker 4: just humbling, amazing things that I've been a part of

478
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:25,160
Speaker 4: when a handful of years ago, it was with coach Chadwell,

479
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:27,800
Speaker 4: and it was right around Eastern time, and Coach Chadwell

480
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:32,359
Speaker 4: was giving our team a talk and just kind of

481
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:36,639
Speaker 4: a discussion on washing feet and how Jesus washed the

482
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:39,160
Speaker 4: feet of everyone around in the servants and stuff like that,

483
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:42,760
Speaker 4: and Coach Chewell had us get up on stage as coaches,

484
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:45,320
Speaker 4: and Coach Chadwell washed all of the coaches feet in

485
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:47,800
Speaker 4: front of the entire team, and then in turn, we

486
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:50,679
Speaker 4: had the opportunity when the players came up, all the

487
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:52,400
Speaker 4: entire coaching staff washed.

488
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 3: The feet of all of our players.

489
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:57,000
Speaker 4: And you talk about something that really bonds together, and

490
00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 4: I mean, ultimately, I think Jesus is the ultimate leader.

491
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:01,320
Speaker 4: You know, want to be able to take that and

492
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:05,320
Speaker 4: pour that into the guys. That's an experience that you

493
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:06,639
Speaker 4: know last a lifetime.

494
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:07,080
Speaker 1: Man.

495
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:11,080
Speaker 2: I think there's two binding forces right to really help

496
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:15,240
Speaker 2: unite teams. And it's service so sacrificing for one another,

497
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:17,840
Speaker 2: doing those types of things where you're humbling yourself and

498
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:21,199
Speaker 2: honoring people, which is really esteeming people above yourself. Then

499
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:25,359
Speaker 2: the other one, coach is suffering. It's being able to

500
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:27,639
Speaker 2: get in the trenches to do the hard things together.

501
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:29,800
Speaker 2: I'm just even thinking about what you guys just did

502
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:32,359
Speaker 2: here recently, when you sent those guys up there in

503
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:35,119
Speaker 2: those groups, carrying those change carrying each other on the

504
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:37,440
Speaker 2: back all the way up Liberty Mountain. And some people

505
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 2: would look at that and say, oh, that's stupid, right,

506
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 2: like why would you do that? You're believing them susceptible

507
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:44,800
Speaker 2: to injury or whatever they want to say. But man,

508
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:47,960
Speaker 2: I love that stuff because I think there's nothing more

509
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:50,880
Speaker 2: bonding ever in my mind than the suffering that I've

510
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 2: gone through in my life with some of the brothers

511
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:54,199
Speaker 2: that have been closest to me. I'll never forget one

512
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:57,600
Speaker 2: day it was a Friday and we had this our

513
00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:00,520
Speaker 2: strength coach Shelton Stevens. He said, if anybody he skips

514
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:03,440
Speaker 2: a rep, we got twenty burpies on the spot. Well, man,

515
00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:07,120
Speaker 2: this one kid skipped four reps, coach, and they were

516
00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 2: supposed to other guys were supposed to be holding him accountable,

517
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:12,440
Speaker 2: And all of a sudden we had eighty burpies on

518
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:15,680
Speaker 2: the spot. If you didn't hit your chest, you started over, right,

519
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:18,600
Speaker 2: So we got to forty something. Somebody did hit his chest.

520
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:22,160
Speaker 2: Start over, thirty something, start over, twenty something, start over.

521
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:24,080
Speaker 2: So at this point we've already done close to one

522
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:27,120
Speaker 2: hundred burpies. Then we had eighty more once that kid

523
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:29,240
Speaker 2: got kicked out of the weight route, so that we

524
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:32,000
Speaker 2: do the other eighty. Then after that we had a

525
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 2: Friday finisher. And I'm not gonna lie to you, that

526
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:38,720
Speaker 2: is one of the most memorable days of my athletic career.

527
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 2: I honestly had forgotten some of the accolades, some of

528
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:44,359
Speaker 2: the best moments, but I remember that day because I

529
00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:47,160
Speaker 2: remember how hard it was. But I remember I had

530
00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 2: Maddy Allen and Josh Barrick by my side, and I

531
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:53,560
Speaker 2: remember us doing those burpies together, holding each other accountable,

532
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:56,040
Speaker 2: picking each other up, lifting us up when they needed help,

533
00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:59,040
Speaker 2: Like that was the biggest thing that is etched in

534
00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:01,280
Speaker 2: my mind, probably will be for as long as I

535
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:03,840
Speaker 2: can remember it. So I'm just interested to you. Why

536
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:07,439
Speaker 2: do you think it's moments like that, it's suffering that

537
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:11,760
Speaker 2: helps bring and strengthen relationships to most Yeah, I think it's.

538
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:13,040
Speaker 3: I think it kind of goes back to what I

539
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:14,679
Speaker 3: was saying earlier. It captures the heart.

540
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:17,439
Speaker 4: I mean that's I mean, if I asked you, you know,

541
00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:20,320
Speaker 4: the most important game you ever won, what was the

542
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:22,720
Speaker 4: score of that? You probably won't remember, Like you said,

543
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 4: you'll remember that, and you remember what you felt like afterwards.

544
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:29,560
Speaker 4: And then more than anything, you have the confidence of man,

545
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:30,640
Speaker 4: if we did that.

546
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:33,720
Speaker 3: You know I can do anything, you know. And I

547
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:34,160
Speaker 3: think that.

548
00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:38,760
Speaker 4: Too, together with your brothers and your teammates, that that

549
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:41,760
Speaker 4: forges the fire to where you know, we've kind of

550
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:43,879
Speaker 4: come through this thing together, and we came out of

551
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:46,520
Speaker 4: it together, and anything beyond that, as long as we

552
00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:49,240
Speaker 4: stay together, were going to be okay. And I think

553
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:53,080
Speaker 4: the I call it controlled suffering, shared suffering.

554
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:55,920
Speaker 3: Right, and it's like no task is too big.

555
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:59,080
Speaker 4: We can make it through anything together, you know, Individually

556
00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:01,480
Speaker 4: we're gonna fall, but together as a team will force

557
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:02,480
Speaker 4: through and we'll be fine.

558
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:03,040
Speaker 3: You know.

559
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 4: And again we're talking about building guys beyond athletic accolades,

560
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:08,520
Speaker 4: beyond that, talking about life.

561
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:10,520
Speaker 3: You know, and I said this this past week.

562
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:13,440
Speaker 4: You know, life is hard, like life is one of

563
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:15,240
Speaker 4: the hardest things you're going to do, if not the hardest.

564
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:18,879
Speaker 4: Football is hard, Okay, and football and life both if

565
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 4: you if you are a weak person and if you

566
00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:24,240
Speaker 4: are an ego driven person that relies only on yourself,

567
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:27,480
Speaker 4: you will fail at some point in life. The strongest

568
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:32,120
Speaker 4: guy needs somebody. And then through that and through those experiences,

569
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:36,119
Speaker 4: through those sufferings, they bond together and and really and

570
00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:38,359
Speaker 4: also it helps you to fight for one another. You know,

571
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:42,320
Speaker 4: when your purpose is bigger than the actual event that's

572
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:45,560
Speaker 4: going on, then you got something special and really kind

573
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:47,480
Speaker 4: of dive into that purpose. And when your purpose is

574
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:49,639
Speaker 4: the people around you, it kind of puts you in

575
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:51,280
Speaker 4: an extra gear when things start getting hard.

576
00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:54,240
Speaker 2: A couple of years ago, I hosted a little private

577
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:56,480
Speaker 2: event for Clear twenty eight, which is an agency in

578
00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:58,840
Speaker 2: the NASCAR space, and I had you speak into some

579
00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:01,920
Speaker 2: of the driver's lives and really the agency's leadership lives.

580
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:04,359
Speaker 2: And I'm just thinking about you said a quote that

581
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:06,600
Speaker 2: has stuck with me ever since he said it a

582
00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:08,160
Speaker 2: couple of years back, and I want you to share

583
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:10,320
Speaker 2: that quote and then expound upon it. But you said,

584
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:12,440
Speaker 2: every single day you wake up, you're giving two things.

585
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:15,240
Speaker 2: A chance, yeah, and a choice. Take us into that,

586
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 2: because that's what I think of when I think of

587
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:18,760
Speaker 2: like perseverance, when I think of waking up in the

588
00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:21,600
Speaker 2: midst of adversity, like you're giving two options, give it

589
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:21,840
Speaker 2: to us.

590
00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:22,359
Speaker 3: Yeah.

591
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:24,600
Speaker 4: So no, that's what I'm saying everybody, And that's that's

592
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:25,640
Speaker 4: where that's where I.

593
00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:28,280
Speaker 3: Think fear and doubt and the enemy can can.

594
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:31,080
Speaker 4: Really grab a hold because people are worried about the

595
00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:34,440
Speaker 4: past or you get caught up worried about the future. Ultimately,

596
00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 4: all we have is the present, and when we wake

597
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:39,159
Speaker 4: up in the morning, that's exactly what we have. The

598
00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:41,760
Speaker 4: second our eyes open up, man, we have a chance.

599
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:44,080
Speaker 4: We have a chance to do something really good. But

600
00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:46,000
Speaker 4: we also have the opportunity to have a choice.

601
00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 3: God make God gives us.

602
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:49,640
Speaker 4: Free will, and then it's what we do with those

603
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:51,720
Speaker 4: twenty four hours, you know. And I even tell the

604
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:54,560
Speaker 4: guys Motivation is a daily decision, you know, And that's

605
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:56,520
Speaker 4: something that you got to understand every single day. The

606
00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:58,879
Speaker 4: second your your feet hit the ground, you got to

607
00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:02,320
Speaker 4: be motivated to do things. And motivation carries a lot

608
00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:04,679
Speaker 4: of different fronts as far as what you're doing, but

609
00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:07,119
Speaker 4: it is a daily decision that needs to be made.

610
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:07,439
Speaker 3: You know.

611
00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:10,120
Speaker 4: And again, I love that, and I love I love

612
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:14,359
Speaker 4: the choice and chance because we all have the same

613
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:17,399
Speaker 4: every single day. And then when we wake up, regardless

614
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:19,400
Speaker 4: of where we came from, regardless of where we're going,

615
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:21,960
Speaker 4: that's where we're pretty much all equals when we wake

616
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:22,840
Speaker 4: up in the morning, that's right.

617
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:25,679
Speaker 2: Oftentimes, we don't give up on a dream, on an outcome,

618
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:27,679
Speaker 2: on an aspiration because we don't believe in it. We

619
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:29,720
Speaker 2: give up because we don't believe in us. And it's

620
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:31,919
Speaker 2: that recognition that, man, every day you wake up, you're

621
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:34,800
Speaker 2: giving a chance. Today could be the day, Today will

622
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:37,680
Speaker 2: be the day. And then you make that choice where

623
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:39,920
Speaker 2: every day I'm going to give everything i have. I'm

624
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:42,240
Speaker 2: going to do what's required then some to the very

625
00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:44,199
Speaker 2: best of my ability to become the man or the

626
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:45,439
Speaker 2: woman that God has called me to be.

627
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:46,000
Speaker 1: Every day.

628
00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:49,240
Speaker 2: I love that a chance and a choice, coach. I'm

629
00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:51,639
Speaker 2: just thinking about somebody out there today. And they know

630
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:54,919
Speaker 2: your strength conditioning coach. They know that you understand kinesiology,

631
00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:57,679
Speaker 2: that you understand the body, You understand all of these things,

632
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:01,960
Speaker 2: and there may be somebody that hasn't optimized their potential,

633
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:05,080
Speaker 2: maybe their health. I was just thinking yesterday I was

634
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:06,800
Speaker 2: on a run, and I hate to run. I just

635
00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 2: be really you, I've always hated to run, right, But

636
00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:11,159
Speaker 2: I was on a run, and as I was thinking

637
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:13,080
Speaker 2: about it, I got to think about the things that

638
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:16,520
Speaker 2: almost make me happy often times are very hollow m

639
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:19,320
Speaker 2: h Right. They're like the easy options, right. But the

640
00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:21,760
Speaker 2: things that make you healthy and the things that make

641
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:25,000
Speaker 2: you holy are often hard. And it's recognizing that it's

642
00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:28,040
Speaker 2: the devotion when you realize, like what you love is

643
00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:31,520
Speaker 2: often what you'll be disciplined to. Devotion turns into discipline,

644
00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:35,080
Speaker 2: discipline turns into desire. There's somebody out there today who's thinking,

645
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:37,520
Speaker 2: I want to get back on track. I want to

646
00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:40,600
Speaker 2: start living that healthy life. I just don't even know

647
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 2: where to start, Like I don't even know practical habits.

648
00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:45,000
Speaker 2: I don't know what to eat, I don't know how

649
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:46,879
Speaker 2: to sleep I don't know how to do any of

650
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:49,720
Speaker 2: these things. What's just some basic knowledge that you would

651
00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:51,840
Speaker 2: give that person a day to get back on track.

652
00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:55,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think first off, start start right away. Quit

653
00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:57,359
Speaker 4: putting it off till the next day. I mean, just

654
00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:00,880
Speaker 4: immediately start. You can't, you know, everybody says, well, I'm

655
00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:02,639
Speaker 4: gonna wait till New Year's I'm gonna wait till the

656
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:04,479
Speaker 4: first of the month. What's wrong with the day you have,

657
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:07,600
Speaker 4: you know, So just start and then just start walking,

658
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:08,360
Speaker 4: and that's it.

659
00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:08,800
Speaker 3: Just walk.

660
00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:10,800
Speaker 4: You don't need to you know, guys, that's the problem

661
00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:13,160
Speaker 4: with people think that you have to do you know,

662
00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:16,320
Speaker 4: CrossFit or high rocks or all these different super high

663
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:17,119
Speaker 4: intensity things.

664
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:18,560
Speaker 3: Just walk. Just walk.

665
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:20,159
Speaker 4: And then when you eat, when you sit there and

666
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:23,359
Speaker 4: you look at eating and assuming you don't have any allergies,

667
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 4: the easiest thing. If you can't kill it and you

668
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:27,360
Speaker 4: can't grow it, don't eat it, you know, And that's

669
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:28,000
Speaker 4: an easy thing.

670
00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:30,000
Speaker 3: You're there, you know what I mean. You know, I'm

671
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:32,600
Speaker 3: not great at that because I like the tortilla chips.

672
00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:34,199
Speaker 5: And things like that that go with it, you know,

673
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:37,280
Speaker 5: But that's as honest as it gets, you know, fill

674
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:39,280
Speaker 5: your plate up with things that you can either kill

675
00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:42,160
Speaker 5: or grow and you'll be just fine with that, right

676
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:44,280
Speaker 5: and then sleep and hydrate.

677
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:47,080
Speaker 3: Hydration is huge. I think a lot of people, you.

678
00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:51,400
Speaker 4: Know, in today's world, they're overcaffeinated and under hydrated.

679
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:53,080
Speaker 3: And that's the thing.

680
00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:55,520
Speaker 4: And the world of energy drinks and coffees and listen,

681
00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:56,440
Speaker 4: I love all that more.

682
00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:57,720
Speaker 3: I use it myself.

683
00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:00,360
Speaker 4: But at the same time, people don't drink enough water,

684
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:03,200
Speaker 4: you know, and then sleep and recover, you know, And

685
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:06,120
Speaker 4: I think that's the thing. People are so quick, we

686
00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:09,960
Speaker 4: as humans are almost we want to kind of take

687
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:13,440
Speaker 4: some shortcuts, you know. And in the world of ozempics

688
00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:15,440
Speaker 4: and things like that that are out there, you know,

689
00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:19,560
Speaker 4: really the that's that's short term and that's short term gratification,

690
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:22,160
Speaker 4: and it's something that's not long lasting, you know.

691
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:24,600
Speaker 3: Building those habits is what's going to last, you know.

692
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:28,440
Speaker 4: And so just walk, you know, walk thirty minutes a day,

693
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:30,160
Speaker 4: just walk outside, you know.

694
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:31,920
Speaker 3: I like, you know, I got this trick a long

695
00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:32,280
Speaker 3: time ago.

696
00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:35,880
Speaker 2: It was just ten minute walks after you eat and sing.

697
00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:38,960
Speaker 4: And it's great. Yes, it works digestion, it works everything.

698
00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:41,320
Speaker 4: But then also it helps you stack walks along the

699
00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:43,920
Speaker 4: way you know, and so you know, nobody wants to

700
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:46,160
Speaker 4: really go outside and walk forty minutes, you know, But

701
00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:48,080
Speaker 4: if I go out four times throughout the day and

702
00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:50,720
Speaker 4: ten minutes stretches, that's pretty easy, you know. And then

703
00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:53,040
Speaker 4: so it's just kind of little small gains along the way,

704
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:54,160
Speaker 4: and those small games.

705
00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:54,720
Speaker 3: Become big gains.

706
00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:57,960
Speaker 1: Love you said, just start, you know, that's the idea.

707
00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:00,760
Speaker 2: Just start and then find some of these people practical

708
00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:03,320
Speaker 2: habits that you can begin to incorporate inside of your day.

709
00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:05,400
Speaker 2: You can give ten minutes to something.

710
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:05,800
Speaker 1: What's that.

711
00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:08,480
Speaker 2: There's the called the rule of one hundred that if

712
00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:11,800
Speaker 2: you do one thing a chosen discipline for eighteen minutes

713
00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:14,520
Speaker 2: a day, that you will be better than ninety five

714
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:16,560
Speaker 2: percent of the population at the get at the end

715
00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:18,040
Speaker 2: of the year. Because it stacks up to be one

716
00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:22,600
Speaker 2: hundred hours. People will say, right, eighteen minutes, that's it,

717
00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:25,760
Speaker 2: Like that's easy. But it's eighteen minutes every day. That's

718
00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:28,320
Speaker 2: the thing that people begin to fail at is that

719
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:32,560
Speaker 2: they don't have enough time. They're too stressed out right, Oh,

720
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:35,120
Speaker 2: I got to focus on this instead of that. And

721
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:37,360
Speaker 2: I'll just say this, show me somebody who's more disciplined

722
00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:38,800
Speaker 2: than you, and I'll show you somebody who has a

723
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 2: greater purpose than you. I remember hearing this one guy.

724
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:44,000
Speaker 2: I think his name is Jeremy Stalkner. He is the

725
00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:47,040
Speaker 2: CEO of the Mighty Oaks Foundation, which is a veteran

726
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:50,640
Speaker 2: run foundation to help veterans who are struggling with PTSD

727
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:54,400
Speaker 2: and mental health challenges. And he ran twenty two marathons

728
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:57,840
Speaker 2: in twenty two days, crazy feet, like, I'm just like

729
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:00,800
Speaker 2: man who comes up with this stuff. But he did

730
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:04,000
Speaker 2: it because twenty two veterans die by suicide every day,

731
00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:07,520
Speaker 2: so it was suicide awareness and suicide prevention based work.

732
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:10,160
Speaker 2: And he said he was talking to me and he

733
00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:15,080
Speaker 2: mentioned this idea that a lot of people would actually

734
00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:17,239
Speaker 2: begin to ask me, like how in the world did

735
00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:19,360
Speaker 2: you do it? Or they would give him these grandiose

736
00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:22,560
Speaker 2: statements of man, you're just extraordinary, right, You're just way

737
00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:23,560
Speaker 2: more disciplined than I am.

738
00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:25,120
Speaker 1: You're just a disciplined person. I'm not.

739
00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:27,920
Speaker 2: And he was saying like, I'm not. I'm no better

740
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:30,000
Speaker 2: than you. I'm not any more disciplined than you. I

741
00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:32,240
Speaker 2: just have a greater purpose than you. Everything that woke

742
00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:34,320
Speaker 2: me up out of bed and the first alarm went off,

743
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:37,120
Speaker 2: I got up, I tied my shoes, I put my

744
00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:39,200
Speaker 2: clothes on, and I went on my run again and

745
00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:41,080
Speaker 2: again and again because I was doing it for something

746
00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:43,680
Speaker 2: bigger than myself. Speak to the person out there today

747
00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:46,680
Speaker 2: who now they've heard the practical strategies, but I'm gonna

748
00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:48,600
Speaker 2: be real, they're going to have a battle right with

749
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:51,760
Speaker 2: disciplining themselves to do it every day. Speak to the

750
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:53,480
Speaker 2: purpose that needs to be bigger than them.

751
00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:56,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I think that's what you said, is like

752
00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:59,200
Speaker 4: the purpose in itself and the sacrifice and the people

753
00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:00,520
Speaker 4: around you, whatever that is.

754
00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:02,200
Speaker 3: You know, So I'll and I'll.

755
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:05,240
Speaker 4: Talk to you about, like our football team, our core values, right,

756
00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:07,719
Speaker 4: And I think that's my question to people, what are

757
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:10,400
Speaker 4: your core values? And you know, and going back to

758
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:13,760
Speaker 4: standard your non negotiables, if you do not have as

759
00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:16,560
Speaker 4: a man, if you do not have core values, then

760
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:19,000
Speaker 4: you're going to fall. It's like building the house on sand,

761
00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:21,320
Speaker 4: because hard times are gonna come, it's going to wash away.

762
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:23,920
Speaker 4: But when you have those and purpose is one of

763
00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:28,280
Speaker 4: our values, so we're our our core values are competition, discipline, accountability,

764
00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:31,040
Speaker 4: and purpose. And when those are all tied in that

765
00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:33,840
Speaker 4: that purpose piece, you know, I always tell people, you know,

766
00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:36,600
Speaker 4: with purpose is your why, your.

767
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:38,200
Speaker 3: Foundation of why you do what you do.

768
00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:40,440
Speaker 4: And I think why I could be as kind of

769
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:42,760
Speaker 4: like a fancy word there for a while, but ultimately

770
00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:46,320
Speaker 4: it's it's the whole idea. If you're trying to lose

771
00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:48,920
Speaker 4: weight because you're a father and you have children, right,

772
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:51,520
Speaker 4: and my deep rooted purpose are my kids.

773
00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:53,360
Speaker 3: For me, it's my wife and my kids. That's why

774
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:55,880
Speaker 3: I do what I do. And so I.

775
00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:58,360
Speaker 4: Don't mind waking up early. I don't mind staying to

776
00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:00,000
Speaker 4: work a little later if I need to. I don't

777
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:03,040
Speaker 4: mind driving across town and being you know, kind of

778
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:05,840
Speaker 4: kind of worn down from that because my kids need me.

779
00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:08,240
Speaker 3: That is my purpose. I'll drive three hours if I

780
00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:09,200
Speaker 3: need to, you know.

781
00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:11,680
Speaker 4: And so when you have those deep rooted purposes and

782
00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:15,280
Speaker 4: those core values and they keep you along and keep

783
00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:18,120
Speaker 4: you moving, then you obviously you'll pain any goal that

784
00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:18,560
Speaker 4: you want.

785
00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:21,040
Speaker 1: You talked about your purpose being your family.

786
00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:23,480
Speaker 2: Yes, I want to go there now, because there are

787
00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:26,880
Speaker 2: moments in life, Coach, where your faith almost gets put

788
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:30,840
Speaker 2: on trial, like suffering comes. You get blindsided by life,

789
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:33,840
Speaker 2: you get ambushed and you could have never expected it,

790
00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:35,800
Speaker 2: and then all of a sudden. Sometimes pain has a

791
00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:38,520
Speaker 2: way of stacking on top of itself and it just

792
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:40,720
Speaker 2: gets harder and it looks a little bit more bleak,

793
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:42,920
Speaker 2: a little bit more dim. But it's being able to

794
00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:45,520
Speaker 2: bring light in the midst of that that really matters most.

795
00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:48,240
Speaker 2: The past year, year and a half, what we were

796
00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:50,719
Speaker 2: just talking about before, he press record has been a

797
00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:52,800
Speaker 2: tough go for you and your family.

798
00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:55,080
Speaker 1: Take us into that if you would, Yeah.

799
00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:59,960
Speaker 4: You know, It's it's crazy how life works, because if

800
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:03,880
Speaker 4: if I had talked to you in March of twenty

801
00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:08,040
Speaker 4: twenty five, my attitude would have been completely different, or

802
00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:10,520
Speaker 4: my perspective would have been different, I guess, you know,

803
00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:13,520
Speaker 4: and and so kind of kind of give you a

804
00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:16,919
Speaker 4: background of that. So in April of twenty twenty five,

805
00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:19,920
Speaker 4: my younger brother, he's eight years younger than me, he

806
00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:23,440
Speaker 4: he was diagnosed with stage four lymphoma and.

807
00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:27,240
Speaker 3: Just kind of he had some things.

808
00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:30,719
Speaker 4: He was sleeping, wasn't sleeping good, had some stomach issues

809
00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:33,359
Speaker 4: and then kind of went in and the doctors pulled

810
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:35,280
Speaker 4: him in and said, you know, you have stage four,

811
00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:37,440
Speaker 4: but we feel like you can we can keep going.

812
00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:39,319
Speaker 4: But this is kind of what you know, he calls me,

813
00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:40,719
Speaker 4: and I was in the weight room. I just got

814
00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:43,600
Speaker 4: done with a group, you know. And and he was

815
00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:46,960
Speaker 4: the first person that I have been closely connected to,

816
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:49,480
Speaker 4: you know, in that in my family when it came

817
00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:52,160
Speaker 4: to something like that, and obviously as her younger brother,

818
00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:54,160
Speaker 4: you know, it's a dagger to the heart, you know. No,

819
00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:56,520
Speaker 4: you know, and he's he's lives and he lives in Kentucky.

820
00:34:56,600 --> 00:34:59,360
Speaker 4: So it was one of those he would I couldn't

821
00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:01,400
Speaker 4: do anything. I was just here, you know. And so

822
00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:06,120
Speaker 4: I had an opportunity to back in his first chemote

823
00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:09,080
Speaker 4: or second chemo treatment. It was in May, and I

824
00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:10,960
Speaker 4: had opportunity to go to Kentucky and I told him,

825
00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:12,640
Speaker 4: almost spend a few days with you and just kind

826
00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:14,839
Speaker 4: of be around you, you know. And and that was

827
00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:19,600
Speaker 4: just mind blowing in so many ways just to sit

828
00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:21,759
Speaker 4: next to him. And he did, you know, he did

829
00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:24,160
Speaker 4: his he did his five hour, six hour chemo treatment

830
00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:26,680
Speaker 4: and then he went back went home. I was with

831
00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:28,960
Speaker 4: him for a week and he might have been up,

832
00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:32,360
Speaker 4: he might have been awake maybe you know, ten hours

833
00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:34,279
Speaker 4: the entire week, you know, And I told him, Hey,

834
00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:36,240
Speaker 4: I'm just gonna sit next to you, you know, whatever

835
00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:38,200
Speaker 4: you need me to do. I cleaned his house, we

836
00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:40,399
Speaker 4: planted a tree in the backyard, and you really got

837
00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:43,200
Speaker 4: opportunity to spend some time together, you know. And then

838
00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:47,000
Speaker 4: kind of my wife at the time, everything was my

839
00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:49,319
Speaker 4: wife had some issues that she was kind.

840
00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:50,880
Speaker 3: Of struggling from a doctor's standpoint.

841
00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:55,480
Speaker 4: But unfortunately during in June, I guess in June of

842
00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:59,400
Speaker 4: that year. So month later, my wife's father passed away

843
00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:01,560
Speaker 4: and that was really hard on her. And so we

844
00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:04,280
Speaker 4: went to Ohio and kind of went through the process

845
00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:08,320
Speaker 4: of of of that and then came back. Well August

846
00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:12,080
Speaker 4: first of two thousand and twenty.

847
00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:13,560
Speaker 3: Five, my uh, my wife.

848
00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:16,040
Speaker 4: Went in to get a surgery done on her stomach

849
00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:21,000
Speaker 4: and they found that she had stage one b ovarian cancer.

850
00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:24,040
Speaker 4: And so we got us brought us back into the

851
00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:26,680
Speaker 4: doctor's office and they told us, hey, you know you

852
00:36:26,719 --> 00:36:29,680
Speaker 4: have you have an aggressive cancer, and you know, we're

853
00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:31,680
Speaker 4: gonna we did the surgery, we got everything out, We

854
00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:34,719
Speaker 4: feel good about it, but there was still cancer kind

855
00:36:34,719 --> 00:36:37,920
Speaker 4: of in the wash of your belly, and we recommend chemo,

856
00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:38,360
Speaker 4: you know.

857
00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:40,440
Speaker 3: And of course that was just.

858
00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:42,279
Speaker 4: A dagger to the heart, you know, and as a

859
00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:45,120
Speaker 4: as a woman who you know, we have three children.

860
00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:48,520
Speaker 4: You know, we're getting ready start football practice. We're right

861
00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:50,120
Speaker 4: in the middle of the thickest part of the year,

862
00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:53,560
Speaker 4: you know, in that and you know, as a man,

863
00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:56,759
Speaker 4: I'm struggling to try to figure out, how how can

864
00:36:56,800 --> 00:36:58,560
Speaker 4: I be a husband, how can I be a father?

865
00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:00,799
Speaker 4: How can I be you know, all the things I

866
00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:03,520
Speaker 4: need to be at work, and just kind of where

867
00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:06,000
Speaker 4: where are we at? You know, And and then so

868
00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:08,560
Speaker 4: that was tough. And and then you know, she went

869
00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:12,080
Speaker 4: through the whole fall, you know, and and one of

870
00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:15,920
Speaker 4: the one of the hardest moments I think was she

871
00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:19,319
Speaker 4: had real long, curly, beautiful brown hair, was when it

872
00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:21,880
Speaker 4: started falling out, you know. And there's some honor and

873
00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:24,520
Speaker 4: there's some dignity, and you know, and I try to

874
00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:27,560
Speaker 4: explain to her, you know, she's a tough woman, and

875
00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:30,080
Speaker 4: naturally it hurt.

876
00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:32,120
Speaker 3: When she when she shaved her head, you know. But

877
00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:33,919
Speaker 3: and through the.

878
00:37:33,880 --> 00:37:37,719
Speaker 4: Course of that, we'll seeing people in the in the

879
00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:41,759
Speaker 4: cancer treatment getting getting chemos and radiation and things like

880
00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:44,160
Speaker 4: that kind of there's there's an honor and a dignity

881
00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:47,239
Speaker 4: that comes with with those people that are that are

882
00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:49,399
Speaker 4: fighting with everything they have, you know, and they might

883
00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:51,960
Speaker 4: some of those people might they might it might take

884
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:54,319
Speaker 4: them thirty minutes to go six steps, you know, but

885
00:37:54,560 --> 00:37:58,160
Speaker 4: to watch them fight through that is extremely humbling, you know.

886
00:37:58,280 --> 00:38:01,360
Speaker 4: And then so she goes through through the basically throughout

887
00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:04,200
Speaker 4: the all last season, you know, she had six chemo

888
00:38:04,280 --> 00:38:09,520
Speaker 4: treatments spread out throughout three months. And then in November,

889
00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:12,879
Speaker 4: you know, right before the week of Thanksgiving, her mom

890
00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:15,680
Speaker 4: unfortunately had a brain aneurysm, and then she passed like

891
00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:18,480
Speaker 4: a couple months later, and her mom was.

892
00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:19,080
Speaker 3: Like her rock.

893
00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:23,040
Speaker 4: And her mom was with us through this whole cancer journey,

894
00:38:23,719 --> 00:38:26,319
Speaker 4: you know, and and and the whole time through this,

895
00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:28,560
Speaker 4: you know, the phrase and I kept saying it to

896
00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:30,239
Speaker 4: my kids, and I kept saying it to her was

897
00:38:30,239 --> 00:38:31,600
Speaker 4: God is good, you.

898
00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:34,000
Speaker 3: Know, and and and finding light in this.

899
00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:38,640
Speaker 4: And I didn't know kind of how to handle my

900
00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:43,400
Speaker 4: brother's cancer. But what I found out through that was

901
00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:45,359
Speaker 4: I was equipped to help out my wife a lot

902
00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:47,600
Speaker 4: more because of what I was able to share with

903
00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:49,799
Speaker 4: my brother, and well I was and he was able

904
00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:50,680
Speaker 4: to help her.

905
00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:51,040
Speaker 3: You know.

906
00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:53,440
Speaker 4: And then you know, kind of fast forward till now,

907
00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:55,960
Speaker 4: it's been really you know, we've been really good.

908
00:38:56,040 --> 00:39:00,240
Speaker 3: My brother is on the mend he's he's in remission. Uh,

909
00:39:00,239 --> 00:39:01,279
Speaker 3: my wife is.

910
00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:03,400
Speaker 4: They did a scan a couple of weeks ago and

911
00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:06,200
Speaker 4: she's cancer free now there so praise God, you know.

912
00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:10,239
Speaker 4: And and uh and obviously you know, her mother and

913
00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:14,960
Speaker 4: her father were huge in just her life, more in

914
00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:15,479
Speaker 4: her mom.

915
00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:18,080
Speaker 3: Her mom was kind of her rock, you know. And

916
00:39:18,080 --> 00:39:19,680
Speaker 3: and the way that she.

917
00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:22,840
Speaker 4: Just kind of honors her mom and she honors just

918
00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:24,120
Speaker 4: her journey is you.

919
00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:26,080
Speaker 3: Know, I tip my hat to her.

920
00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:28,840
Speaker 4: I mean, she's she's one of the strongest women that

921
00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:32,800
Speaker 4: I know, and she has she's birthed three children. And

922
00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:35,360
Speaker 4: I tell you I couldn't I wouldn't be able to

923
00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:36,400
Speaker 4: take ten percent.

924
00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:38,680
Speaker 3: Of what she went through. And all I could do

925
00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:39,959
Speaker 3: was just try to be her rock.

926
00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:41,880
Speaker 4: And you know, and I think that goes back to

927
00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:44,880
Speaker 4: when when I we got married twenty years ago, it

928
00:39:44,920 --> 00:39:47,719
Speaker 4: was in sickness and in health whatever, whatever it is

929
00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:49,759
Speaker 4: the world do you want me to do? This is

930
00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:51,960
Speaker 4: we're here together, and we're going to go to the.

931
00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:54,000
Speaker 1: End exactly right that commitment.

932
00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:56,000
Speaker 2: And I tell you, we're going to continue to pray

933
00:39:56,520 --> 00:39:58,759
Speaker 2: for you and your bride and your brother and just

934
00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:01,160
Speaker 2: make sure that obviously covered I hope and pray that

935
00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:03,359
Speaker 2: the audience would do the same. But you know, it's

936
00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:07,560
Speaker 2: been amazing to watch from afar your guys's journey, to

937
00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:11,319
Speaker 2: see the strength, the perseverance, the proclamations of faith. I

938
00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:13,520
Speaker 2: think of job right where it's naked. I came from

939
00:40:13,560 --> 00:40:15,799
Speaker 2: my mother's womb, and naked shall I return? Blessed be

940
00:40:15,840 --> 00:40:19,000
Speaker 2: the name of the Lord. God is good. But I'm

941
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:21,600
Speaker 2: thinking of somebody out there today, coach, who's in the

942
00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:25,960
Speaker 2: midst of a trial and a tribulation, and those words

943
00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:26,960
Speaker 2: feel empty to them.

944
00:40:27,120 --> 00:40:27,480
Speaker 3: I do.

945
00:40:27,680 --> 00:40:30,080
Speaker 2: It's like, you know, I can say God is good,

946
00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:32,560
Speaker 2: but I don't know if I really believe that right

947
00:40:32,600 --> 00:40:36,439
Speaker 2: now because my circumstances aren't changing. What would you say

948
00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:39,760
Speaker 2: to that person about whether it's the practice of remembrance.

949
00:40:39,880 --> 00:40:41,279
Speaker 2: It sounds like what you did a lot of is

950
00:40:41,360 --> 00:40:44,279
Speaker 2: the practice of reflection, going back, looking back and being

951
00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:46,880
Speaker 2: able to say, like, Wow, the Lord was setting us

952
00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:49,440
Speaker 2: up for this season. The Lord was preparing us to

953
00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:52,280
Speaker 2: walk through this, but he never left our side. Helps

954
00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:54,840
Speaker 2: somebody in a moment where those words maybe do feel

955
00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:57,560
Speaker 2: empty to them to understand the weight behind them.

956
00:40:57,920 --> 00:40:58,319
Speaker 3: I think the.

957
00:40:58,320 --> 00:41:00,880
Speaker 4: Biggest thing is people are watching and you don't know that.

958
00:41:01,239 --> 00:41:06,640
Speaker 4: And when you're in that situation, you can give people

959
00:41:06,719 --> 00:41:08,560
Speaker 4: strength without interacting with them.

960
00:41:09,040 --> 00:41:11,239
Speaker 3: I watched my wife get up.

961
00:41:11,239 --> 00:41:12,920
Speaker 4: From a chair and walk to the other side of

962
00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:16,400
Speaker 4: the room and influence other people to be able to

963
00:41:16,520 --> 00:41:17,239
Speaker 4: do that the same.

964
00:41:17,840 --> 00:41:19,200
Speaker 3: And in the amount.

965
00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:22,040
Speaker 4: Of people that I've had are players, former players, like

966
00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:24,839
Speaker 4: you asked me earlier, you know, as a coach, what's

967
00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:26,799
Speaker 4: one of the greatest things that you can have as

968
00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:27,640
Speaker 4: far as you know?

969
00:41:27,719 --> 00:41:29,359
Speaker 3: And I was talking about weddings and things like.

970
00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:33,800
Speaker 4: That, But the amount of players that said, praying for you, coach, Hey,

971
00:41:34,080 --> 00:41:36,560
Speaker 4: texting me, how's your wife doing? You know, going back

972
00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:39,200
Speaker 4: to Isaiah likely text me a coach, if you need anything,

973
00:41:39,200 --> 00:41:42,400
Speaker 4: feel free to call me anytime. You know that in itself,

974
00:41:42,880 --> 00:41:46,000
Speaker 4: when I would talk to guys and I had an

975
00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:49,480
Speaker 4: opportunity to show them what real.

976
00:41:49,360 --> 00:41:51,839
Speaker 3: Trials look like, not just up there.

977
00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:54,719
Speaker 4: It's not just things like that, right, It's not empty,

978
00:41:55,239 --> 00:41:58,319
Speaker 4: It's not empty things like I'm living this in front

979
00:41:58,360 --> 00:41:59,040
Speaker 4: of you, right.

980
00:41:59,520 --> 00:42:01,560
Speaker 3: And it kind of goes back to everything.

981
00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:05,640
Speaker 4: God gave me an opportunity to basically live that out,

982
00:42:06,080 --> 00:42:09,839
Speaker 4: and you know, and and gave our family that opportunity

983
00:42:09,880 --> 00:42:12,320
Speaker 4: to live that out, and it was one of those

984
00:42:12,640 --> 00:42:14,640
Speaker 4: going back motivations of daily decision.

985
00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:16,840
Speaker 3: We had to wake up, you know, we had the choice,

986
00:42:16,880 --> 00:42:19,400
Speaker 3: We had the chance every single day, you know.

987
00:42:19,520 --> 00:42:21,719
Speaker 4: And so when I say God is Good and people

988
00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:25,960
Speaker 4: were saying, well, that's empty, okay, then truly sit in

989
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:28,680
Speaker 4: on that a little bit and and kind of try

990
00:42:28,719 --> 00:42:31,920
Speaker 4: to remove yourself from the situation and look around you,

991
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:34,880
Speaker 4: because it's not about you. It's about It's about God's

992
00:42:34,880 --> 00:42:38,160
Speaker 4: work and God's light being shown in the trial. And

993
00:42:38,360 --> 00:42:41,200
Speaker 4: it was never about me, you know. And and my

994
00:42:41,280 --> 00:42:46,719
Speaker 4: wife and my brother are unbelievable warriors, but it's not

995
00:42:46,800 --> 00:42:49,480
Speaker 4: about them either. It's about God, and it's about it's

996
00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:53,200
Speaker 4: about them, you know, showing God through their trials and

997
00:42:53,239 --> 00:42:53,840
Speaker 4: through things.

998
00:42:54,280 --> 00:42:57,799
Speaker 2: That's the concept of James Chapter one, where it's as

999
00:42:57,840 --> 00:43:02,160
Speaker 2: considerate pure joy whenever you face trials or tribulations in

1000
00:43:02,160 --> 00:43:03,600
Speaker 2: this life, for you know that the testing of your

1001
00:43:03,600 --> 00:43:06,680
Speaker 2: faith goes on to produce perseverance. So let perseverance finish

1002
00:43:06,760 --> 00:43:09,120
Speaker 2: its work so that you may be mature, complete, lacking nothing.

1003
00:43:09,400 --> 00:43:10,080
Speaker 1: The idea.

1004
00:43:10,200 --> 00:43:12,719
Speaker 2: I think when people hear those words God is Good,

1005
00:43:12,960 --> 00:43:15,320
Speaker 2: it's almost like they feel as if if they proclaim

1006
00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:18,560
Speaker 2: that that they're saying, thank you for the suffering, right,

1007
00:43:18,640 --> 00:43:21,040
Speaker 2: thank you for the trial, thank you for the cancer.

1008
00:43:21,080 --> 00:43:23,520
Speaker 2: And that's not what we're saying, or we're saying, though,

1009
00:43:23,600 --> 00:43:27,319
Speaker 2: is thank you God for allowing this thing, this thing

1010
00:43:27,360 --> 00:43:31,680
Speaker 2: that is very bad, that is very hard. Death is

1011
00:43:31,719 --> 00:43:34,239
Speaker 2: not good, there's no good that can be found in it.

1012
00:43:34,520 --> 00:43:37,320
Speaker 2: But God, thank you that you are the great restore

1013
00:43:37,480 --> 00:43:42,239
Speaker 2: the great repurposer, who can take something so broken, so depraved,

1014
00:43:42,360 --> 00:43:45,319
Speaker 2: but turn it into something so beautiful. God makes, He

1015
00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:49,319
Speaker 2: creates goodness in spite of brokenness. And I think that's

1016
00:43:49,320 --> 00:43:51,839
Speaker 2: what you're saying to somebody out there today. It's like, Hey,

1017
00:43:51,880 --> 00:43:55,120
Speaker 2: if you're up against a trial or a tribulation, we

1018
00:43:55,160 --> 00:43:57,200
Speaker 2: don't just thank God because of the pain, we think,

1019
00:43:57,239 --> 00:43:59,160
Speaker 2: and because of what he can do in and through it.

1020
00:43:59,400 --> 00:44:00,600
Speaker 1: And that's what he's.

1021
00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:02,680
Speaker 2: Done and in through your story and in through your

1022
00:44:02,719 --> 00:44:05,640
Speaker 2: wife's testimony. And I'm just thinking about as a man

1023
00:44:05,719 --> 00:44:09,120
Speaker 2: coach like going through that watching her, I can tell

1024
00:44:09,160 --> 00:44:12,840
Speaker 2: that you are deeply inspired and moved by just the

1025
00:44:12,880 --> 00:44:16,120
Speaker 2: woman that she is, the strength, the character, the servant's

1026
00:44:16,200 --> 00:44:18,920
Speaker 2: heart that she has to go and impact lives. As

1027
00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:22,000
Speaker 2: you mentioned, I just believe that there are five Gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke,

1028
00:44:22,080 --> 00:44:24,399
Speaker 2: John and you, and most people don't read the first four.

1029
00:44:24,840 --> 00:44:28,279
Speaker 2: It's the recognition that she lived this example out every day.

1030
00:44:29,040 --> 00:44:31,239
Speaker 2: But for you, I can only imagine as a man,

1031
00:44:31,560 --> 00:44:34,200
Speaker 2: when we have the pressure to provide and protect and

1032
00:44:34,200 --> 00:44:38,640
Speaker 2: to fix problems, when we can't do anything about it,

1033
00:44:38,640 --> 00:44:40,880
Speaker 2: it almost feels like there are so many things that

1034
00:44:40,880 --> 00:44:43,760
Speaker 2: are outside of our control. But yet, as a coach,

1035
00:44:44,320 --> 00:44:48,359
Speaker 2: you preach every day, control the controllables, Control the controllables.

1036
00:44:48,360 --> 00:44:51,080
Speaker 2: But then how do you not ruminate on all of

1037
00:44:51,120 --> 00:44:53,440
Speaker 2: the things outside of your control and the uncertainty and

1038
00:44:53,440 --> 00:44:55,520
Speaker 2: the lack of clarity that was up against you, and

1039
00:44:55,560 --> 00:44:57,799
Speaker 2: it was really pushing your back against the wall. I'd

1040
00:44:57,840 --> 00:44:59,840
Speaker 2: love to hear, what were you able to control?

1041
00:45:00,080 --> 00:45:02,680
Speaker 4: Yeah? That's the hard part is because as a coach

1042
00:45:02,719 --> 00:45:05,279
Speaker 4: you are wired in the same itinerary.

1043
00:45:05,400 --> 00:45:06,600
Speaker 3: You're wired to be able.

1044
00:45:06,680 --> 00:45:09,120
Speaker 4: You know, with me being a strength coach, sets and

1045
00:45:09,160 --> 00:45:11,879
Speaker 4: reps and percentages and everything right, and so being able

1046
00:45:11,920 --> 00:45:14,840
Speaker 4: to deal with trying to things outside of my control.

1047
00:45:15,200 --> 00:45:17,759
Speaker 3: I had to release that to God. I had to

1048
00:45:17,800 --> 00:45:18,439
Speaker 3: give that up.

1049
00:45:18,880 --> 00:45:20,480
Speaker 4: That was I had to I had to take a

1050
00:45:20,520 --> 00:45:24,879
Speaker 4: step back and and I quickly realized through this that

1051
00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:26,960
Speaker 4: not only I was a husband, but I was also

1052
00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:29,759
Speaker 4: a father. I was a father to two sons who

1053
00:45:29,840 --> 00:45:31,719
Speaker 4: were going to have a wife one day. I was

1054
00:45:31,760 --> 00:45:33,840
Speaker 4: a father to a daughter who was going to have

1055
00:45:33,840 --> 00:45:37,480
Speaker 4: a husband one day. And then how I helped my wife,

1056
00:45:37,560 --> 00:45:40,439
Speaker 4: How I served my wife, you know, how she even

1057
00:45:40,480 --> 00:45:44,760
Speaker 4: served me through it, How we together forged through this fire.

1058
00:45:45,600 --> 00:45:48,719
Speaker 4: We were examples for our children. And and one of

1059
00:45:48,760 --> 00:45:51,560
Speaker 4: the coolest things, and God really kind of ripped my

1060
00:45:51,600 --> 00:45:55,520
Speaker 4: heart open when you know, we were not even maybe

1061
00:45:55,520 --> 00:45:56,439
Speaker 4: a month or so ago.

1062
00:45:56,560 --> 00:45:56,840
Speaker 3: I was.

1063
00:45:56,920 --> 00:45:59,040
Speaker 4: I went up to my daughter's room and I'm cleaning

1064
00:45:59,080 --> 00:46:02,640
Speaker 4: her bed and I moved open, like I kind of

1065
00:46:02,640 --> 00:46:04,759
Speaker 4: moved one of her bed sheets, and there was a

1066
00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:08,080
Speaker 4: Bible in her bed, and honestly, I didn't even know

1067
00:46:08,239 --> 00:46:11,120
Speaker 4: she had that Bible. And I opened it up and

1068
00:46:11,600 --> 00:46:14,800
Speaker 4: there was a bunch of different notes. She was reading John,

1069
00:46:14,960 --> 00:46:18,600
Speaker 4: she was highlighting, and through that alone.

1070
00:46:18,160 --> 00:46:19,799
Speaker 3: She had a Bible that I did not buy.

1071
00:46:20,320 --> 00:46:23,000
Speaker 4: She had notes and she was doing that, and I

1072
00:46:23,080 --> 00:46:26,560
Speaker 4: was blown away. And then my oldest son, I walked

1073
00:46:26,560 --> 00:46:28,920
Speaker 4: downstairs one day and he lives in the basement, and

1074
00:46:29,320 --> 00:46:31,120
Speaker 4: you know, sometimes kids go in the basement and they

1075
00:46:31,120 --> 00:46:33,440
Speaker 4: play video games for hours and you never see him again.

1076
00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:36,640
Speaker 4: But uh, you know, he's sixteen years old. And I

1077
00:46:36,719 --> 00:46:39,960
Speaker 4: go down there and I hear him talking and giggling

1078
00:46:39,960 --> 00:46:41,800
Speaker 4: and doing different things, and I kind of easdrop on

1079
00:46:41,840 --> 00:46:44,280
Speaker 4: the on the door for a second and I opened

1080
00:46:44,320 --> 00:46:46,960
Speaker 4: it up, and he's on the phone, and he's got

1081
00:46:46,960 --> 00:46:49,279
Speaker 4: a Bible and he's on the phone and he's been

1082
00:46:49,280 --> 00:46:52,440
Speaker 4: doing a Bible study with four other guys that you

1083
00:46:52,480 --> 00:46:55,120
Speaker 4: know for six weeks and they and they've been working

1084
00:46:55,120 --> 00:46:57,080
Speaker 4: through the book, the Book of Matthew and doing things

1085
00:46:57,080 --> 00:46:59,279
Speaker 4: like that. We talked about that and then the same

1086
00:46:59,320 --> 00:47:02,560
Speaker 4: thing with my son, my middle son. He he wants

1087
00:47:02,600 --> 00:47:04,040
Speaker 4: to go to he was wanting to go to church

1088
00:47:04,239 --> 00:47:07,400
Speaker 4: and then praise God on Easter Sunday, all three of them, Uh,

1089
00:47:07,520 --> 00:47:09,360
Speaker 4: Pastor PJ baptized them.

1090
00:47:09,239 --> 00:47:09,640
Speaker 3: At Hope co.

1091
00:47:10,320 --> 00:47:13,000
Speaker 4: And it was and so and then to see all

1092
00:47:13,040 --> 00:47:16,120
Speaker 4: of that in the darkest of times that we had,

1093
00:47:16,239 --> 00:47:19,280
Speaker 4: and to watch God work through my children and really

1094
00:47:19,680 --> 00:47:20,919
Speaker 4: see my children.

1095
00:47:20,640 --> 00:47:23,759
Speaker 3: Grow in their walk with the Lord, it's unbelievable.

1096
00:47:23,800 --> 00:47:27,120
Speaker 4: And I and so, you know, to sometimes we got

1097
00:47:27,160 --> 00:47:30,319
Speaker 4: to step away and try to stop controlling things and

1098
00:47:30,440 --> 00:47:32,840
Speaker 4: just let God you know, Jesus take the wheel, you know,

1099
00:47:32,920 --> 00:47:35,760
Speaker 4: and let let God have it. And and it's God's

1100
00:47:35,760 --> 00:47:36,640
Speaker 4: plans always.

1101
00:47:36,400 --> 00:47:37,040
Speaker 3: Better than ours.

1102
00:47:37,280 --> 00:47:40,400
Speaker 2: It is I mentioned in a previous conversation, I was

1103
00:47:40,440 --> 00:47:44,360
Speaker 2: listening to Pastor Tyler Stayton and he was talking about

1104
00:47:44,480 --> 00:47:48,400
Speaker 2: why waiting is such an important part of the spiritual

1105
00:47:48,520 --> 00:47:51,600
Speaker 2: journey or of the process of sanctification, and he said,

1106
00:47:51,600 --> 00:47:55,080
Speaker 2: because waiting is where faith is actually required. And so like,

1107
00:47:55,120 --> 00:47:57,080
Speaker 2: as you're waiting, there might be somebody out there today

1108
00:47:57,080 --> 00:47:57,960
Speaker 2: he feels like they're waiting.

1109
00:47:58,320 --> 00:47:58,520
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1110
00:47:58,600 --> 00:47:59,520
Speaker 1: I love what you said.

1111
00:47:59,680 --> 00:48:03,279
Speaker 2: Is the challenge that never underestimate the impact that you

1112
00:48:03,320 --> 00:48:06,560
Speaker 2: can have, especially in the midst of your suffering, because

1113
00:48:06,600 --> 00:48:09,319
Speaker 2: people are waiting to see how you will respond. Not

1114
00:48:09,360 --> 00:48:11,799
Speaker 2: when you're sipping a pinike lota on the beach, but

1115
00:48:11,880 --> 00:48:15,520
Speaker 2: when life is knocked you completely out and you feel

1116
00:48:15,520 --> 00:48:18,120
Speaker 2: like the wind is just taking right out of your sails, Like,

1117
00:48:18,160 --> 00:48:20,600
Speaker 2: how will you respond then? And with you, guys, I

1118
00:48:20,640 --> 00:48:24,080
Speaker 2: love the mindset of It's almost first Thessalonians four eleven

1119
00:48:24,080 --> 00:48:25,880
Speaker 2: to twelve, Like you made it your aim or ambition

1120
00:48:25,960 --> 00:48:28,440
Speaker 2: to live a quiet life. You just took responsibility for

1121
00:48:28,480 --> 00:48:30,359
Speaker 2: the things that were in front of you and that's

1122
00:48:30,400 --> 00:48:33,560
Speaker 2: how you win the respective outsiders, unbelievers when they look

1123
00:48:33,600 --> 00:48:35,680
Speaker 2: at your life and they're like, man, he's going through

1124
00:48:35,680 --> 00:48:38,520
Speaker 2: the thickest of things. They look at Beth. She's going

1125
00:48:38,560 --> 00:48:41,279
Speaker 2: through some of the hardest things in her life. But

1126
00:48:41,320 --> 00:48:44,600
Speaker 2: yet she's still proclaiming that God is good. She's still

1127
00:48:44,600 --> 00:48:47,920
Speaker 2: showing up for other people, she's still serving, she's still

1128
00:48:47,960 --> 00:48:51,160
Speaker 2: living in that way like there's something different, and I

1129
00:48:51,280 --> 00:48:55,120
Speaker 2: wonder what that is. That's what makes people explore the faith.

1130
00:48:55,200 --> 00:48:58,840
Speaker 2: And so I just I'm grateful coach, to you, guys,

1131
00:48:58,880 --> 00:49:01,120
Speaker 2: to your family for what you continue to do, for

1132
00:49:01,160 --> 00:49:03,520
Speaker 2: the impact that you've had. Is parents, even in the

1133
00:49:03,560 --> 00:49:05,400
Speaker 2: midst of this, I think that's a testament to a

1134
00:49:05,440 --> 00:49:07,960
Speaker 2: lot of parents. I've observed my mom and my dad

1135
00:49:08,239 --> 00:49:11,920
Speaker 2: there's some really hard times, continue to love well and

1136
00:49:12,000 --> 00:49:15,520
Speaker 2: continue to push through and persevere, and they continue to

1137
00:49:15,640 --> 00:49:18,279
Speaker 2: lean on God and hold on to hope in the

1138
00:49:18,320 --> 00:49:20,960
Speaker 2: midst of their suffering. And because of that, I really

1139
00:49:20,960 --> 00:49:23,840
Speaker 2: believe those were the moments that shaped my sister and

1140
00:49:23,880 --> 00:49:27,759
Speaker 2: I's faith way more than the moments of prosperity and

1141
00:49:27,800 --> 00:49:29,520
Speaker 2: the moments where things were good and we felt like

1142
00:49:29,520 --> 00:49:31,480
Speaker 2: we were on a mountaintop. Now there's a reason why

1143
00:49:31,480 --> 00:49:34,440
Speaker 2: the Puritans called it the valley of vision. That's where

1144
00:49:34,480 --> 00:49:36,719
Speaker 2: we got. The greatest vision of God was in the

1145
00:49:36,760 --> 00:49:39,320
Speaker 2: lowest of valleys. And so for you, coach, I'm grateful

1146
00:49:39,640 --> 00:49:42,120
Speaker 2: and I'm just wondering in this moment. We talked a

1147
00:49:42,160 --> 00:49:45,760
Speaker 2: lot about faith, we talked about perseverance. But my dad,

1148
00:49:45,800 --> 00:49:47,840
Speaker 2: I say this all the time on this podcast, so

1149
00:49:47,880 --> 00:49:49,960
Speaker 2: our audience is probably like, I know exactly what's coming

1150
00:49:50,000 --> 00:49:52,680
Speaker 2: right now. My dad told me when I was a kid,

1151
00:49:52,800 --> 00:49:55,680
Speaker 2: it's our moments of powerlessness that draw us closer to

1152
00:49:56,080 --> 00:49:58,279
Speaker 2: and reveal the character of God's heart the most. And

1153
00:49:58,320 --> 00:50:01,640
Speaker 2: I love asking this to every guest because no answer

1154
00:50:01,680 --> 00:50:05,440
Speaker 2: is the same. Who did God reveal himself to be

1155
00:50:05,880 --> 00:50:07,680
Speaker 2: in the midst of this past year and a half

1156
00:50:07,719 --> 00:50:08,640
Speaker 2: to you?

1157
00:50:08,640 --> 00:50:12,400
Speaker 4: You know, God's a loving God. He's a loving God,

1158
00:50:12,480 --> 00:50:17,560
Speaker 4: and he's a providing father. And and it's not my time,

1159
00:50:18,080 --> 00:50:21,479
Speaker 4: it's it's God's time. And and God never left our side,

1160
00:50:21,760 --> 00:50:25,879
Speaker 4: not once. And and as much as I wanted to kind

1161
00:50:25,920 --> 00:50:28,920
Speaker 4: of lean on the world and and try to and

1162
00:50:28,960 --> 00:50:31,520
Speaker 4: even in the hardest times, you know, just kind of

1163
00:50:31,560 --> 00:50:33,680
Speaker 4: breaking down. And I mean, and I've had those times

1164
00:50:33,680 --> 00:50:37,160
Speaker 4: I had to I had those hard, hard conversations. You know,

1165
00:50:37,560 --> 00:50:40,160
Speaker 4: God never failed and he never never left my side.

1166
00:50:40,320 --> 00:50:42,880
Speaker 4: And and like I said, here we are, you know,

1167
00:50:43,000 --> 00:50:45,719
Speaker 4: and we're still obviously we're not completely out of it.

1168
00:50:46,120 --> 00:50:48,799
Speaker 4: But at the same time, you know, God showed me,

1169
00:50:49,400 --> 00:50:52,719
Speaker 4: you know, his love through three children and uh that

1170
00:50:52,800 --> 00:50:55,640
Speaker 4: discovered discovered him and there and and you know in

1171
00:50:55,719 --> 00:50:58,920
Speaker 4: their walk and uh, he's just he's a loving father.

1172
00:50:59,280 --> 00:51:01,000
Speaker 3: And it's been amazing.

1173
00:51:01,600 --> 00:51:01,839
Speaker 1: Coach.

1174
00:51:01,920 --> 00:51:04,200
Speaker 2: I'm thinking, as we wrap up our time, I always

1175
00:51:04,280 --> 00:51:06,680
Speaker 2: love to leave the opportunity for our guests just to

1176
00:51:06,719 --> 00:51:10,440
Speaker 2: share one final closing word that maybe God has deposited

1177
00:51:10,440 --> 00:51:13,240
Speaker 2: in your spirit throughout our conversation today. For the person

1178
00:51:13,280 --> 00:51:16,840
Speaker 2: out there who maybe is just in a season of disappointment,

1179
00:51:18,160 --> 00:51:21,680
Speaker 2: they're discouraged, there's a lot of despair, they almost feel

1180
00:51:21,719 --> 00:51:24,800
Speaker 2: depleted by life and all of the things that continue

1181
00:51:24,840 --> 00:51:27,400
Speaker 2: to stack up one on top of another. What's the

1182
00:51:27,480 --> 00:51:29,960
Speaker 2: final word of hope, encouragement and motivation you want to

1183
00:51:30,000 --> 00:51:31,040
Speaker 2: leave with that person today?

1184
00:51:31,239 --> 00:51:31,439
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1185
00:51:31,480 --> 00:51:34,840
Speaker 4: I think I think God uses broken people to share

1186
00:51:34,920 --> 00:51:39,200
Speaker 4: and spread his kingdom. And and there's no situation, there's

1187
00:51:39,640 --> 00:51:40,720
Speaker 4: there's nothing that.

1188
00:51:40,680 --> 00:51:44,920
Speaker 3: You can go through that you know that God can't.

1189
00:51:44,680 --> 00:51:49,160
Speaker 4: Walk you through and regardless of how your emotions feel,

1190
00:51:49,400 --> 00:51:51,719
Speaker 4: you going back to it. I mean every day you

1191
00:51:51,760 --> 00:51:53,680
Speaker 4: have the same We all have the same. We have

1192
00:51:53,719 --> 00:51:56,080
Speaker 4: a chance, and we have a choice. And when you

1193
00:51:56,120 --> 00:51:58,319
Speaker 4: when you lean on that and you're true to who

1194
00:51:58,400 --> 00:52:01,040
Speaker 4: you are and you put your ego to side, have

1195
00:52:01,120 --> 00:52:03,319
Speaker 4: your non negotiables, you know you're going to live.

1196
00:52:03,239 --> 00:52:03,759
Speaker 3: A great life.

1197
00:52:05,000 --> 00:52:07,840
Speaker 2: Coach, I'm excited just to see what guy's going to

1198
00:52:07,880 --> 00:52:09,719
Speaker 2: continue to do and in through your life and in

1199
00:52:09,760 --> 00:52:12,040
Speaker 2: through your leadership. Again, thank you for the impact you've

1200
00:52:12,040 --> 00:52:13,920
Speaker 2: had on me, you continue to have on me and

1201
00:52:13,960 --> 00:52:17,120
Speaker 2: countless others. I look forward to watching the Flames have

1202
00:52:17,200 --> 00:52:18,879
Speaker 2: a great year. What can we expect from the Flame

1203
00:52:18,920 --> 00:52:19,879
Speaker 2: train this year? Oh?

1204
00:52:20,080 --> 00:52:25,759
Speaker 4: Great year, great year that we're really excited to.

1205
00:52:25,920 --> 00:52:27,920
Speaker 2: Scott, thank you for your time today, Thanks for joining me.

1206
00:52:27,960 --> 00:52:30,360
Speaker 2: Thank you tall our audience here a bill different. I

1207
00:52:30,400 --> 00:52:32,719
Speaker 2: just wanted to say, if there's two things I want

1208
00:52:32,760 --> 00:52:35,640
Speaker 2: you to walk away with, it's number one, there's always

1209
00:52:35,680 --> 00:52:38,520
Speaker 2: a chance today could be your day. And number two,

1210
00:52:38,600 --> 00:52:41,680
Speaker 2: there's always a choice today will be your day. Make

1211
00:52:41,719 --> 00:52:45,400
Speaker 2: the choice every day. Continue to surrender, don't just demand

1212
00:52:45,440 --> 00:52:48,320
Speaker 2: things from God, depend on him each and every season

1213
00:52:48,360 --> 00:52:50,400
Speaker 2: of your life, and just watch what He will do,

1214
00:52:50,480 --> 00:52:52,600
Speaker 2: because again, if we really do believe that He is

1215
00:52:52,600 --> 00:52:55,600
Speaker 2: the God of Ephesians three twenty, then he can do exceedingly,

1216
00:52:55,640 --> 00:52:59,400
Speaker 2: abundantly more than we could ever ask, think, or imagine.

1217
00:52:59,520 --> 00:53:02,120
Speaker 2: Watch what God would do when you completely give your

1218
00:53:02,160 --> 00:53:02,960
Speaker 2: life to Him.

1219
00:53:03,040 --> 00:53:04,160
Speaker 1: Thanks so much for joining us.
