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!

The Guardiac Kids

    The Guardiac kids, also known as the Cleveland Guardians, were one of the most fun teams to watch in the league this year. A team made up of the lowest payroll, lowest experience and the youngest team in the league made the second round of the playoffs and took the "best" team in baseball to a final game in the American League Division Series, before losing last night. I watched over 50 games this year, and every game had so much life and excitement to it.      This past Sunday night, I attended game 4 against the New York Yankees in Cleveland and it was an experience of a lifetime. I got free tickets and a parking pass and had fantastic seats for a chance to watch history. We arrived early and explored beautiful downtown Cleveland. Cleveland is a place I have always loved and enjoyed being there and exploring. Once in the stadium, it was so great to be back. The smell of baseball was in the air, and it was contagious. With over 38,000 people in attenda...

Can YouTube be More than Entertainment?

    Discussing and learning about YouTube has been fun and also informative. It has been fun learning about YouTube because I am an addict and always watch videos on it. I love YouTube because you can watch and find anything you need. Whether it is life advice, music videos or content creators. For example, I watch Danny Duncan and The Nelk Boys all the time and it is great. But, can YouTube be used for more than entertainment?     For example, YouTube is a fantastic way to promote yourself and your business, especially with amount of active users on YouTube. Everyone starts somewhere, everyone starts with zero subscribers, it is all about what you do with that. My freshman year of basketball at Ohio Northern University, I played against a guy named D'Vontay Friga from The University of Mount Union and he is YouTube famous now with over 600,000 subscribers and makes a living of promoting himself and his brand. His brand slogan is "Stay Motivated, Stay Positive" and h...

Music Cures All

     At a young age I fell in love with music and have never looked back. I remember being a young kid and always asking for an iPod so I could download a bunch of music. Always having my headphones in before my travel basketball and football games and just enjoying it. Back then, I just wanted to look cool and didn't truly understand music like I do now. Music helps me with everything including basketball, school, anxiety and just relaxing, it is great.      I listen to music anytime I can, especially when relaxing or working out. I like to experiment so I truly like a lot of different genres and songs, but if I had to pick one forever it will always be rap. Over the last year I started listening to an artist called Rod Wave and haven't stopped listening to him since. The main reason I always listen to him is because I feel like we relate on a lot of stuff and he puts his true feelings into his songs so it is real and relaxing. I have always liked country ...
