For as long as I can remember, I’ve been a person focused on commitment and trust. To me, if you aren’t committed to what you say you’ll do, and you aren’t a person of character who’s willing to back it up, can you really be trusted?
My wife and I will celebrate 30 years of marriage in December. It’s a relationship that while not always sunshine and daisies, has been successful because we both share the same goals, values and principles. While the process of any relationship, and maybe specifically marriage, isn’t always perfect, we never quit striving to make it so. It’s the pursuit of perfection that makes you great, not necessarily achieving it. I know this… I’m a better man, husband and father because of her. And I’d like to think the same is true for her, that at least one or two of my strengths have helped her over the years.
As I was sitting in the hospital last week just after knee surgery (yes, that’s why I was on a scooter at the NASGW Expo, because the knees finally just gave up on me), I was scrolling through Instagram and came across a post about Nick Saban, coach of the Alabama football team, and his very similar view when it comes to the quality of people he believes it takes to make a solid team.
