Spiritual Leadership
I meet very few people in the world that I walk in that are on a journey in leadership! We all desire to be the best we can be to lead the people & teams that have been put around us! However, we always do not know what it means to be a “spiritual leader” […]
Great Teams
There are a lot of things that I want for NorthStar but one of the greatest things that I desire is that we are a great team! Here are some things that I have learned about great teams……. They figure out ways to get the job done when the odds are stacked against them! It […]
Timing
Timing is everything….Great things & great ideas started at the wrong time just don’t make it! They are forgotten and shelved in the world of “mistakes” when in fact, they may have been great but the “time” was not right for them yet! I have been asked a ton of times about what God has […]
Lesson: Great coaches know their systems
Every coach that I ever played for through the years had his own way of doing things. Some coaches just emulated what they had seen their coaches do, but then there were a few that were unique and they knew their: players, program & environment so well! Everything they did had purpose & meaning and […]
Lesson: A great day is when your team outplays your coaching!
I have been off the field long enough and in coaching to see games where your team executes to the point you realize that talent & heart took over and outpaced your coaching! You sit there as a coach and know that you will get some of the credit for the victory but in reality, […]
Lesson 3: You don’t have to make the great plays, just make the routine one's
So many times in life we feel like we have to accomplish something spectacular and the reality is, the best things we do are usually the routine one’s! Every time we put a young player on the field, we always say, “you don’t have to make the ESPN play, just make the one hit at […]
Lesson 2…..Your job is to play not to coach
One of the things that drove me absolutely crazy as player and now as a coach of young men was when a player on the field wants to “coach” his teammates rather than “encourage” his teammates! Every time I met with my new team each year, this is one of the first things that I […]
Lesson 1 “There is never time to take a play off”
I am going to shoot to start a series of post and how we can take lessons from the “field” and apply it to things that we are going through in life. There are so many correlations between the things that we face daily and the things that are gleaned from the time we spend […]

Taking the risk!
I am a pretty safe person by nature……I do not normally step into the things that I think I may not be good at! One of my downfalls, is if I can’t be the best at something, I hang out on the sidelines and cheer on others. Never snow skied, water skied or even played […]
