ROAD TRIP

ROAD TRIP

Footage from Friday it was a great weekend and its still not over too much film to post it all at once so will take you threw it little at a time. I never been camping or boarding on a boat, there is a 1st time for everything it was so fun. Defiantly a weekend to remember.

Introducing the ROAD TRIP SERIRES
Part 1

KEEP ON'

It was Judgment day for a lot of people final roster cuts. Some of my friends did not make the teams they were trying out for. I feel for them because it is not a pleasant feeling, knowing something we've all worked hard for has been taken away in a blink of an eye. Similar to the business world the higher you go the fewer positions there are. Decisions are not always made on talent level but rather who you know, or who knows you. So many other logistics come into play what is your salary, age, injuries... It's a beautiful game but a shitty business, one thing I know that it is only threw failure that you grow. Try to take the positives and learn from it, for it will make you a better person in the long run. You are not alone it happens to everyone at some point in time in their career, some are just sooner than later. When one door closes another one opens so my fellow players there is nothing to hang you head about. As a matter of fact be proud of your accomplishments not many are willing to make the sacrifices to get to the top level. My hat goes off to all of you, God has a plan and story for everyone one of us. KEEP ON' wherever life may take you.

KEEP ON'

I know what a lot of you are wondering what I am on... This guy is going crazy, never seen this side of me. To be honest I haven't either, I see the world in a different light. For so long I've done everything by the book, work relationships, chasing my dream. Conformed to society expectations and norms and for what? Only for someone to tell me I can't have what I want? To wake up and say  I hate my job I don't want to go to work? To watch the girl you love pack her bags and walk out the door? Is this life? Do what's expected of you and don't get rewarded! I felt trapped in this on going circle of life brainwashed, well no more every impulse and urge that I have will be brought to life. Am I living life or is life living me?  My good friend Bobby P  near to his death bed going for open heart surgery for a third time. 8 heart attacks and he is still chasing his dream at 75. A man with many talents still unknown to the world it breaks my heart. He said he would call me this weekend I don't even know if he will make it. The last thing he told me today is that "even if he fails he is still a winner because he never gave up! LOSERS give up and I'm not that never never give up Sammy" I know he will make it because he is a fighter. What I'm getting at is I'm doing things my way and even if you don't get it now you will later. I'm not crazy just walking blind into the abyss places where few choose to go because of fear or because of people's opinions. I'm not afraid anymore because I know Victory is on the horizon and it may not even be football!

On side note great day of training no filming today THE NATION series wont have many post because we can't give away the all the secrets. No worries I have lots of  other ideas YOU ARE NOW TUNED INTO THE U!

KEEP ON'

These videos blogs are not enough! I may be happy while I'm training but at night I'm utterly pissed off ranging in my mind, this was supposed to be my year! I was lied to made false promises that I was going be given a chance to compete for a starting job and I wasn't even invited to training camp. I'm trying to be positive but it's so hard, it's a constant battle 24hrs a day.  I'm always there to listen to my friends but who is there to listen to me? No one can really understand the mental stress. I'm at my breaking point I keep telling God I can't handle anymore of this, but he keeps putting it on my plate. I poured my heart out for this game with no return yet. Can you see the hunger? Can you see I want it? Only if they let me get on the field I would be a top player! Politics of the game... If I give up now then all of this means nothing everything I sacrificed overs the years will have been for nothing. The fire burns deep so hear my war cry NEVER DIEEEEEEEEEEEE I"M TOO STRONG, I'M TOO STUBBORN!

KEEP ON'
