Walking on playing D1 college football with no HS experience

This topic will focus on my journey of determination, grit and discipline leading to getting my first snap at the D1 level. Coming from a huge family, I didn’t have the opportunity to attend HS or play organized football, but as a homeschooler at a young age, I knew this was what I wanted. Why was this so important to me and how I didn’t let anything stop me from getting what my mind set out for

We’ll dive through the reasons why “trusting the process” leads to success and what that looked like in my life. You’ll learn how to find a way, when the odds are stacked against you.

Mindset is huge and when it comes to achieving what you want in life and aligning it to your goals, mindset is key. We’ll break down what that means, how to align it and what that might look like for the average person.

Growing up adopted

This topic talks about my journey growing up, first in foster care, then adoption, then later being reunited back, with my biological family. The main focus here will be, why your past doesn’t have to determine your future, we will look into the roadblocks and challenges I had to overcome to become the man I am today and equip you with new tools, geared to overcome your battles

I had big dreams and goals growing up and even though I didn’t have the easiest path, I was able to find a way, I mean if it was easy, everyone would have what they want in life, but my goal is for you to walk away knowing the tools that separate the dreamers, from the doers

We don’t have to become a victim of our circumstances nor environment, the process of moving forward comes down to thinking for yourself, challenging your thoughts and beliefs and even breaking your own generational curses, we’ll dive into what that looked like for me and open the door to what that might look like for you

Stunt Accident

In, 2018, I got it by a car going over 45mph and was left with over 30+ injuries, including a broken vertebrae, broken, finger and shattering my leg in over 7 pieces, as horrific as it was it didn’t bring me down, but instead motivated me and showed me how strong I am to, not only to survive, but to be able to recover in the time I did

We’ll dive into the motivation behind the stunt and what happened leading up and the day of, what the first few months were like and when did the lightbulb flick for me to want to overcome. With my athletic background, this whole experience was truly humbling but it gave me a mission and I didn’t let outside noise kill it

I’m going to show you the mental challenges I went through and lay out the steps to get out of that rock bottom mindset, mindset is EVERYTHING and when you change your habits, you change your life.

Minority Skydiver

Since a young age, I’ve always been athletic, the one to push limits and think outside the box, as I got older, i was able to get into athletics and stunts, leading me to getting my skydiving license, not the most popular sport for minorities but I did it anyway

We’ll enter into the world of skydiving, how it became a passion of mine, some of my goals in the sport and where I’m at now, this might be something you never thought you needed to do, so I’ll break down the journey of my first skydive and why it means so much to me, I call it therapeutic in a weird way and I’ll explain why

We’ll discuss the significance of representation in life and the effects it has on others. Being different isn't a bad thing and I’ll break down the ways you can benefit…I had a goal and I achieved it, but how??? We’ll discuss the importance of staying disciplined and how being 100% YOU can be used to your advantage
Depending on where you grow up, most people are conditioned and motivated to do certain
