Every male freshman (plebe) entering West Point has a mandatory class that few other colleges offer much less require. Boxing.
Each morning that boxing was on my schedule I woke up thinking about it. I would sit in calculus, chemistry or computer programing class thinking about boxing. It didn’t matter that I had tests or other graded exercises in those classes. Boxing dominated my thoughts.

Who do I trust? And why do I trust them? There are a lot of things that play a role in whom I trust.
Integrity, consistency, and reliability are just a few. I trust people who display these attributes – most of the time. However, even the most honest, consistent and reliable person will lose my trust if they are arrogant.
Humility inspires trust. Arrogance creates doubt.
Doubt kills trust. Continue Reading…
Sometimes I witness something that makes my blood boil. I see a kid dismiss a coach’s advice during a game. They give the coach that “whatever” look or in some cases even verbalize their bad attitude.
I want to jump out of the stands and shake them. I want to say, “Who are you to question someone who played the game you’re playing and has been teaching the game to hundred’s before you!” Continue Reading…

In this political cycle in the United States, Donald Trump has raised (or should I say lowered) the bar when it comes to conflict. His sophomoric responses to reasonable debate are mirrored by a lot of people on both the right and the left on Facebook.
Classless conflict is not a new phenomena. Our society has been on a steady slide towards this mentality over conflict for many decades. Can we stop the politicians from acting like children? No. But we can stop our children and ourselves from acting like politicians.

Now it is official! The survey results are in. Why do you follow a leader? What makes a leader great? 630 responses to two questions we posted across multiple social media forums and other venues gave us the answer.
Before I tell you the answer. I am going to tell you what it is not. People do not follow someone because they have the best education, are the smartest or are the most qualified.

Who I am as a person is determined by the choices I make in life. Courage is a choice. Humility is a choice. Integrity is a choice. Selflessness is a choice. Duty is a choice. Positivity is a choice.
My circumstances may not be in my control, but the choices I make in the midst of those circumstances are. Each time I am faced with a choice, I am either moving closer to the person I want to be or further from it. Continue Reading…
