Passion. Purpose. Progress.
The path to success is easy to talk about.
Living it every day? That’s the challenge.
🔥 THE PATH TO SUCCESS
✅ Find your passion
✅ Use it to fuel your purpose
✅ Take consistent action
Action creates skills.
Skills build confidence.
Confidence refuels passion.
That’s how success grows.
👟 REAL-LIFE EXAMPLE
I’ve always known lacrosse is my passion.
But I’ve learned recently—your purpose evolves.
Writing these newsletters?
That’s part of mine now.
It’s my way of teaching, mentoring, and building the next wave of GRITTE, confident athletes.
Do I always feel like doing this? Nope.
But on the days I’m tired, I fall back on my passion.
That’s they key.
When you don’t feel like showing up, your passion is what keeps you going.
⏱️ HOW TO KNOW WHAT YOU’RE PASSIONATE ABOUT
🧠 Look at your time.
Your calendar reveals your values.
Your actual time shows what matters most.
📝 Try This:
Keep a daily time journal for 7 days.
Record every single activity—practice, meals, scrolling, training, homework, YouTube, everything.
Chances are, you’ll spot 1–2 things stealing your time.
🔥 Cut or reduce those distractions.
Then redirect that time into your purpose.
Watch how fast you level up when your time aligns with your goals.
🧢 A WORD FOR ATHLETES
Summer is the secret season.
From July to September, here’s my advice:
🏈 Play multiple sports.
🚀 Try something new.
🏆 Join small-sided leagues.
🎓 Why? Because college coaches LOVE multisport athletes.
I saw it first-hand. Athletes who played multiple sports were easier to coach.
They took feedback better. They adapted quicker.
They weren’t rigid—they were ready.
So if you want to make varsity, start on offense, or get recruited—play more, move more, compete more.

💭 FINAL THOUGHT
The path to success isn’t straight.
But if you:
✅ Follow your passion
✅ Act on your purpose
✅ Manage your time like it matters…
You’ll stay on it long enough to become who you’re meant to be.
Go Get Gritte!
