The current week's entry only gets a preview — the rest goes to subscribers first. But once an entry's had its week, it opens up here for good, in full, for anyone. This page also tracks what's still ahead.
These went to subscribers first. Now they're open for anyone to read, start to finish.
People assume that once you've made it to the NFL, even for a preseason, the hard part is over. It isn't. The hard part is what you do the day nobody's handing you a jersey anymore.
I spent years building the kind of work ethic that gets a kid from Pop Warner to a preseason roster — through setbacks that would've ended it for a lot of people. That work ethic didn't retire when football did. It just needed a new field. Right now that field is sales, and eventually it's a business that's fully mine.
This journal is me writing it down as it happens — the wins, the weeks that don't go how I planned, and the discipline it takes to keep showing up anyway. If you're building something of your own, I think you'll recognize a lot of it.
