From the time I was young, I always knew I wanted to be a professional athlete. As my journey unfolded, I would learn that physical ability can only take us so far and last for so long. Sustainable success is about WHO we become that allows us to do WHAT we aspire. I would go on to spend ten years as a professional athlete, getting paid to travel the world to play a game but it wasn't the glamorous journey I envisioned for myself as a child. I collapsed in my fourth season in the middle of a game leading five doctors to tell me I would never play again, despite no two doctors having the same diagnosis. I chose not to subscribe to that belief. Two years prior to that collapse, my mother was diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer and a year later, she lost her battle. I put everything into what I was and nothing into who I was. There was nothing wrong with my heart physically, I was under immense emotional stress which almost cost me my career, and more importantly, my life. After a spiral of personal mental health battles, I began to learn more about myself—how I thought, what I felt and the greatest mystery of all, why? Using widely accepted principles, I developed unique tools based on my journey to help others improve performance and well-being by leveraging their own personality traits and providing insight to blindspots. This has allowed us to measure the impact an individual has on the collective, build long-term sustainability, create predictability in performance and avoid the mental and emotion walls we all tend to hit. I have worked with athletes and organizations ranging from the NBA, Olympians, PGA and various others around the world helping to educate, prevent and help others overcome what I have before they hit the proverbial wall. To do so, you have to ditch the blanket approach and treat each person, team and audience uniquely. I truly am thankful for the day I collapsed on that court because it was the catalyst for something much greater than I could have ever imagined.
