What We Don’t Talk About in College Athletics We spend years building toward the dream. The youth leagues, the weekend tournaments, the early morning practices, the sacrifices, the investment, the hours spent driving across the state and back again. We watch them grow into their talent, learn to push themselves, develop discipline and drive and […]
There’s a silence that follows an injury. Sometimes it’s immediate – shock in the moment, a gasp from the sidelines, a coach crouching next to you while the trainer rushes over. Other times it creeps in slowly. A nagging pain that turns into something more. A scan. A second opinion. And then the words: “You’re […]

They’re learned adaptations that once kept us safe. When those strategies become rigid, they block intimacy, confidence, and ease. Inner child work gives us a way to […]
Over the years, I have observed the power of suggestion. Stop for a moment to consider the power of words as one method of conveying suggestions. Using words, a politician conveys an agenda. Using words, a salesperson sells goods. Using words, a teacher teaches. Using words thoughts are imparted from one person to another or […]
