About the book…

As a coach, I always focus on taking my teams to the state championships. That is the goal, the apex, and the bulls-eye we are trying to achieve. All of our physical and mental energy is focused on that goal. That is what the kids see when standing before me at the beginning of the season. The kids know what the goal is.

What they don’t recognize is that I also have a focal point for each of those kids' lives. Here are the three things that internally drive me. First, I want to teach my kids that they are capable of more than they could ever imagine. All they have to do is get locked in on the focal point and follow directions. The second thing is I want them to be developed into people of character and integrity. The kids don’t need to know that; they just need to know that as they go through this process, they will cross the finish line a different person. The kids may not recognize it, but everyone around them will. From their parents, their siblings, and their classmates, they will see the change. They are going to say, what did you do? Why are you different now? Finally, I want my students to know that there is hope. There is hope outside of accomplishing their goals. That is living your life on purpose, for God’s purpose for creating you.

Throughout this book, I will share with you some thoughts, techniques, and ideas. I want you to step outside of what you are thinking right now. I want you to explore some ideas of where you can grow and where you can go when I take you on this journey. It is going to be mapped out for you over these twenty-one chapters. I will give you ten specific steps that you could dog-ear those ten principles when you have finished this book. No matter where you are in your life, what you do, or whatever focal point you set, you can plug these ten things in. Maybe it’s your ministry; perhaps it’s your marriage, or your business, or your relationships, or your legacy. You can use these ten ingredients to put into your situation and define your focal point. It’s time to get out of the bleachers, step up to the starting line, and specify where to go.
