Routine Is Key

    Do you have a daily or weekly routine? A routine can be beneficial to success, especially when you are a busy person. Being able to write down a routine, can help you in numerous ways, including daily organization and structure. By definition, routine is a sequence of actions regularly followed; a followed program. A routine may seem boring or get old, but I promise you it can be the key to a successful life. 

    I am big on a daily routine because of how seriously I took it this past summer and how great it made my days feel. Monday through Friday, my wake-up call was 5 am, and I was in the weight room by 5:30 am. I would wrap up my lift around 6:30 am, shower, and eat a big breakfast. By 7:20 am, I was out the door and on the way to work. I would then work from 7:30 am-5:00 pm, come home and go to the court at 6:30 pm and get my work in. I would then head home, shower, eat, and go to bed before 10:00 pm. Just by following this daily ritual five days a week, I was able to gain 20lbs of healthy weight, improved my mental health, and followed a better diet. It doesn't take a lot, but it does take an incredible attitude and discipline. 

    It may not be for everyone, but if you are struggling with your mental and physical health, trying a daily routine is worth a shot. Now that summer is over and I am back at school, my routine has changed but that still doesn't stop my grind. I strive every day to have my workouts complete before my first class, and also meal prep every Sunday and get caught up for the week. Sunday is a key day to get your mind and body ready for the week ahead. If you can have a fantastic Sunday, you will have a fantastic week, and that is spoken from experience.

    Adam, thanks for sharing how your routine looked in the summer. I had a similar routine this summer with soccer and found it very helpful to following a plan for my day. Hope all that hard work pays off this year!

Back on Campus

    After a much needed time off from athletics and academics, it is great to be back on campus. I was very thrilled to go home for a couple of long days. I wasn't only happy to go home because it was first time home in a month, but also because it will be last time home till Thanksgiving. We start our first week of practice this Friday and once that starts it is almost impossible to go home, so I made sure to enjoy my break.             I have always cherished my time I get when I am back home because you never know what can happen and when it could be your last time. That sounds very straight-forward but is the reality of life. As I stated, we start our basketball season this week and I am beyond focused and ready to start my third year on the basketball court. I am especially excited this year because I know the potential this team has this season especially since we are a lot older and more experienced now.      In the...

College Football Playoffs

     In 2014, college football finally introduced the idea we had been waiting on, The College Football Playoffs. This meant that instead of only two teams getting a chance at the national championship, it would know be four teams. Everyone that enjoys college football was very happy when this was announced.       The first year it was introduced, the final four teams happened to be Ohio State, Oregon, Alabama, and Florida State. In the first round, Oregon defeated Florida State and Ohio State defeated Alabama in an instant classic. This meant it would end up being Oregon versus Ohio State in the championship game. Ohio State went on to defeat Oregon by a score of 42-20 and celebrated winning the first ever college football national championship. I still remember Ohio State winning this game and I lost my mind. I thought it was awesome to see Ohio State win the national championship, but especially with it being the first year of the playoffs. ] ...

The Place to Be

    If you are a sports fan, Cleveland is the place to be right now. Writing that first sentence makes me extremely happy because I have been a die-hard Cleveland sports fan for 22 years now. Trust me, during those 22 years there has been plenty of ugly and not as many smiles. Outside of the Cavaliers winning the NBA championship in 2016, there hasn't been a lot of positives for Cleveland sports fan, but that has finally changed.      First, let's talk about the Cleveland Browns. We all know about them, mostly bad, but that seems to be changed. They are currently 1-0 with one of the best rosters in the NFL. Outside of that, they also signed their future franchise quarterback to a big-time contract. Also, they have one of the best running backs, offensive linemen, and defensive linemen in the whole entire league. For me, this is an exciting time to be a Cleveland Brown fan, especially to see what the future holds for them. I can't pick a favorite Cleveland sports...
