The 2X4
“If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.” -Max Planck
You could walk across a 2×4 board on the ground without falling right? But what if this same 2×4 board is placed 10 stories high, across two buildings? Only a few of us at best would even try to make it. Why? Because of the fear of falling. The focus would be on falling and the consequences of falling instead of walking across the board.
Summary:
When we are challenged, we often focus on the negative result that could happen. When we are competing, taking a big test, giving an important presentation, etc. our focus is often on how hard it is or what could happen if we don’t do well. Instead, we need to change our focus on what we need to do in the moment.
Focusing on distractions, sets us up for failure. Focusing our eyes on the next step or what we need to do in that moment gives us a better chance of success. Focus on the 2×4, not on falling.
Reflection:
What distractions are preventing you from success?
Often, we overlook the small actions like, practicing gratitude, meditation, breathing, etc. But these small things are what will help us stay present in each moment. How do these small actions play a role in your ability to overcome distractions and adversity?
How can you and/or your team use this message to help you?
What It Takes to be the best
Michael Jordan's Defining Moment
Michael Jordan didn’t just want to be good—he told Coach Roy Williams, “I want to be the best to ever play here.” But when he explained that he already ran faster and shot more than his teammates, Coach Williams gave a reply that shifted Jordan’s mindset forever: “Oh, excuse me. I thought you wanted to be the best.”
That single moment changed everything for Jordan. From that day forward, he trained differently. Not just to outperform others—but to outperform himself, every single day.
This story is a powerful reminder: champions don’t stop when they’re ahead—they ask, “What else can I do?”
If you’re aiming to grow in your sport—or in life—it’s not about being better than someone else. It’s about being better than the person you were yesterday. Jordan’s path to greatness didn’t begin on game day; it started the moment he committed to doing the work when no one was watching.
🔁 Take a moment today to reflect: Are you truly doing everything you can to be your best?

“This is a must read book for athletes who want to take their game to the next level. People often say that the mental game is 90% of winning, and then proceed to ignore the mental aspect. These authors teach you how to master the mental game.”

Beating Cancer and Building Champions
“Sometimes adversity is just one step back to take three big steps forward.” – Madeline Wilson
From the outside, Madeline Wilson’s story looks impossible: diagnosed with stage 4 Hodgkin’s lymphoma at just 14, relapsing two years later, and still going on to play Division I volleyball—and win two conference championships with Wofford College.
But as you'll hear in this episode of Challenger Deep: Athletes Rising Above Adversity, Mad’s story isn’t about surviving cancer. It’s about choosing to dream anyway, showing up in the face of uncertainty, and becoming a leader through vulnerability and grit.
