Obstacles, Road Blocks, Etc

I must say I've gone through my share of obstacles and road blocks and it never gets easier. I've learned to deal with a lot throughout my career but injuries have to be one of the toughest obstacles I've ever had to deal with. This year has seemed like its been filled with distractions, mistakes, injuries, obstacles if you will, but its a constant learning curve. Its better to get all these things out of the way now, instead of making that mistake at a crucial point in the season. I've also started to learn that everything happens for a reason, no matter how hard it is to understand at the time, things happen for a reason. Desire, Heart, Will, Creativity, Grace, Vision, Strength; all values I live by and it is in these values that determines the difference between being a pro and being a joe. It doesn't matter what happens to me, how much pain I'm in, no matter how bad the odds, I will overcome anything and everything to walk down the path to greatness. All I have left to say is the AUS and the CIS are both going to get a rude awakening when I hit the field. And when I do hit the field this season everyone will know my name by the end of the first game. Look out, I'm coming for ya DB's. One word of advice don't blink, by the time you open your eyes I'll be in the end zone. Peace.

Relax, Recharge, Refocus

Nick,

I hope you used your fishing trip to relax. Although things are stressfull right now with tying up loose ends at school, training coming to an end, making sure that the stresses don't over take you.

This is the home stretch, we're going to be pushing really hard. you'll be ready for camp. Trust me and work your ass off like you always do and the CIS and AUS won't know what hit them.

Again hope you had a great time, see you next week.
