So my old buddy Matt Stover is going to the Super Bowl again.
And, he’ll have the distinction of being the oldest NFL player ever to play in a Super Bowl game.
To be truthful, Matt and I haven’t spoken in years.
But, in the off-seasons prior to his 1999 and 2000 seasons with the Ravens, I had the privilege of helping Matt train his off leg for greater balance and increased kicking precision.
Those two seasons were break out seasons for Matt and the Ravens.
I’d like to believe I had a small role in that. Matt thought I did, and said so. I don’t take much credit though – there are a whole slew of professionals who work with pro athletes, and each one does their share to help out.
And, Matt’s the guy who did all the hard work, and the one with the golden leg. 
But the crazy thing is, I’d have never thought in a million years that I’d have *anything* to do with an NFL player going to the Super Bowl.
And it would have never happened if I’d listened to all the people who told me I was wasting my time with my dream of being a full-time martial arts instructor and school owner.
I thank God that He made me resilient (thank you, God).
And, when I’m watching the Colts play in the Super Bowl this year, I’ll be thinking to myself that I at least had a tiny little part in making that happen.
Have a great weekend, and go live your dreams.
Until next time,

We had quite a few people jump in early and grab the bulk of the seats for my free seminar August 14th – 16th in Austin, TX.
All the guys are looking to learn a lot about running a profitable school, training hard, and eating some good Texas BBQ.
(And, knocking back a few Shiners after the seminar while we all share ideas on what’s working for school owners right now, too… cause that’s how we do it in Texas.)
Now, I know some of you are going, “That’s great, but I don’t own the SDBP book and I’m not a site member.”
Yep, I know you’re concerned about every penny right now…
But seriously, the site is only $18 a month, and worth 5x that, easily.
Not only that, but the material I am going to cover in this seminar was responsible for adding thousands monthly to my bottom line.
Seriously…
If you can’t add 2 grand a month to your net within a month of coming home from Texas on the 16th, you’re either brain dead or the laziest school owner I know (and to date, I officially hold that distinction).
Why not join the site and get the $500 seminar for free to boot?
(Yes, this seminar is going to be $500 a person the next time I hold one… and the last group that came through paid $400 a person – for less training!)
What the flip!?!?
