Throughout my life I have come to realize there are many paths toward success, and even more toward failure. Regarding the latter, there will come phases in life when you may feel you are falling short of your potential or stuck in a rut. While at this juncture, you may hit your threshold and simply become ready to take yourself or your team to the next level, an Elite level. How do you get there? Where do you start? What’s your strategy? Who is your coach?

Personally, I segment my life into two parts: 1) Athlete 2) Corporate Leader.  The first half included blazing my own trail as a starting freshman on my high school varsity basketball team, transitioning to a Division I college student-athlete, and nearly half a decade as a professional basketball player in Europe. This period of time came with a lot of pressure, criticism and many obstacles to overcome.

The second half of my life thus far has afforded me the opportunity to transition all of the skills learned as a professional athlete.  Subsequently, in 2006 I entered the corporate world as a pharmaceutical sales representative, climb the corporate ladder over a 15 year span and ending my corporate career in 2021 where I was a VP of Sales for a leading medical device company. Again, this trajectory came with stress, stumbling blocks, criticism and great lessons learned.

Through my experience, travels and research, I have found a consistent, common denominator that each ultra-successful athlete or corporate professional displays:

In order to grow as a person, you need to UNLOCK your potential. When you are pushed to the extreme through the stressors and pressures of life, it forces the mind to question everything. There is one variable that remains constant regardless of an individual’s circumstances: “moments of weakness” enter our minds. Herein lies a simple decision point: you either quit or figure out a way to push through the adversity as an individual or team.

Mastering the above skills allows you to focus on a journey toward self-growth and hold yourself accountable. The real competition is to understand how to push yourself toward fulfillment and maximize your 24-hour day. My ultimate goal is to help you master the 3 Pillars Of Elite Results using cutting edge strategies to succeed at the highest level with respect to your career or sport. In utilizing my framework, you will obtain a personalized program to elevate you or your team from where you are now to where you should be. You will accomplish this through my multifaceted process to attain an Elite Mindset, Elite Leadership skills and establish an Elite Culture/Environment.

BE ELITE!
