We were very fortunate enough to have a visit from one of my great friends and teammate, James Cowser. James broke the all time sack record held in the Big Sky Conference. following his senior year, he went on to play professional football for the Oakland Raiders. James shared a message about hard work and buying into the process. from that point on I always brought the group together and I would share a life quote or message, teaching them the importance of buying in and trusting the process. James was a prodigy of hard work and will always be grateful for the process that he took to get to where he is today.
Not one left that gym with a frown on their face. If they didn’t get faster or meet their speed times, I wanted them to leave smiling knowing that they had fun and with a message that they could apply into their life to make them a better person. To teach these young athletes that through sports you can fulfill your role as a human being and figure out life’s obstacles and get through them, was a blessing for me to witness. Also to grow in character knowing that no matter the severity of circumstances or injuries, it’s possible to overcome if you focus on the product and trust the process to get there.
