HAPPY HOLIDAYS from Game. Set. Life. to you and your family.

MESSAGE #882 THE TIME IS NOW…

Today’s message is especially dedicated to the great Sue Elkind and Naime Jezzeny.

In 1920, Babe Ruth hit 54 home runs in his first year with the Yankees.

But that’s not the amazing part.

In that era, players weren’t hitting home runs, in fact, Ruth’s 54 homers were more than the TOTAL number of home runs hit by the rest of the TEAMS in baseball, except for the Philadelphia Phillies.

He wasn’t just the best, he was in a whole different league!

Babe did something that had never been done. He acted like the person he wanted to become. He didn’t do what everyone else was doing.

Most people wait until they become successful to act successful, but the great ones in history acted great before they became great.

You don’t have to be confident to act confident.

You can be confident now.

You don’t have to wait until you open your gifts to be happy.

You can be happy now.

You don’t have to wait until January 1st to make a resolution in your life.

You can make that resolution now.

K + A = R

Knowledge plus Action equals Results.

Stop being comfortable and start being great.

Thanks for reading and Happy Holidays to all.

MESSAGE #879 PAGE 22…

Today’s message is especially dedicated to the great Lauren Perrine.

From page 22 of “Game. Set. Life. – Peak Performance for Sports and Life”…


You can perform at your best, even if you’re feeling your worst.

A champion is someone who can win even when things aren’t going so well. Champions push themselves when most people become impatient, frustrated, or fatigued and give up. External conditions will rarely be perfect, so you need to look within during tough situations.

MESSAGE #875 I HAVE TO ASK YOU SOMETHING…

Today’s message is especially dedicated to the great Ian Westermann in Washington, DC.

Today’s post is not a message, but a list of questions. Here they are…

1. Where are you? (In your sport, career or relationships)

2. Where do you want to go? (Be specific)

3. How can you get there? (Who can you talk to that has already done it?)

4. When will you start? (Why not today?)

5. Will you do your best? (Or will you do whatever it takes??)

The great philosopher, Yogi Berra once said…

“If you don’t know where you’re going, you could wind up someplace else.”
