Motivation Monday
What is your LEGACY?
Northwestern takes the field at Rocky and Berenice Miller Park
“You should always search for ways to earn respect from your teammates. At the end of the day, people will remember the type of person you are more than your stats. Your LEGACY is largely dependent on HOW you treat people. Earning respect from teammates is simpler than you might think. In fact, it can be broken down into three main sentiments.
1. Work hard on a consistent basis. Show that you CARE by improving yourself as much as you can.
2. Invest in your teammates. Bring a teammates with you when you go to the field, eat dinner together, and give the freshmen a ride back to their houses.
3. Be humble about your success and put the team first. If you hit a homer, but your team lost... you should have the social awareness to avoid bragging about your success.
Follow these rules and watch your teammates begin to respect you more. Observe how your interactions change for the better when you think about your TEAMMATES more than yourself.”

Embodying the phrase, “Do it with passion, or not at all,” he has enjoyed being an energetic spark plug on the field. in fact, he is known as the “jovial, curly-haired utility man” and chooses to be a fountain of energy for his teammates on a consistent basis.
As a life-threatening blood disease survivor, Tyler lives every day with gratitude knowing that tomorrow is never guaranteed. His passion and purpose is to inspire others to be the best version of themselves. Creating Collegiate Mind Mastery has allowed him and his team of college athletes to connect with athletes from all over the world with one common goal: to teach them how to thrive as elite student-athletes.
