2025 Fall Sports officially start Next Week! Make sure you know where practice will be located for your sport! Good luck and Go Cavs! #SwordsUp⚔️
One of the best things you can do for your future is to build the discipline to delay short-term gratification for a greater long-term reward. What you want most > What you want now Don’t sacrifice for the quickest result!
If you’re in the business of taking care of others, prioritize taking care of yourself. Making self-care an essential strategy puts you in the best position to lead effectively. Can’t fill the other cups if yours is empty! 💭

“But I consider my life of no value to myself; my purpose is to finish my course and the ministry I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of God’s grace.” Acts 20:24
The more conviction you have in your purpose and your process, the less you care about what other people think.
The environment we choose to put ourselves in and the people we constantly surround ourselves with impact how we define success and failure. 💭
During July come by your favorite Forest City Food Lion, purchase a sports drink & place it in the East Rutherford bin. They are $1 with your MVP card! This will provide proper hydration to our players throughout the Fall! We greatly appreciate your support & donation!
People that love what they do will outlast those that solely love the results of what they do.
In moments of pressure, your mind may doubt, but if you’re prepared, your body knows what to do—trust your training. A sense of calm comes from knowing you put in the work to be ready for the moment. You don’t need to be perfect; just be prepared. 💭
It’s a competitive advantage when you love doing things other people hate to do.
Be a force multiplier—a person who not only excels personally but also elevates others.
Remaining clear on what matters most protects you from getting distracted by things that don’t matter at all. 💭💪🏻
Refuse to be so focused on where you want to be that it robs the joy of being where you are now.
We make things harder on ourselves when we try to control things we can’t control or fail to execute on things that are within our control. 🤔💭
Adapt to the situation, don’t expect the situation to adapt to you. ⚔️🏈⚔️💪🏻
The real power of leadership lies not in what you say but in how you live. Your actions, not your words, set the standard for everyone around you. If you aim to inspire greatness, be an example. A leader’s actions don't just influence culture; they create it. 🤔💭💪🏻
