"Gridiron" - a poem written by Louis Curry

"Gridiron"

I grind to stay on top,

cause if I don't grind then all else stops.

See, Football is a tool to my success,

it keeps me in line and relieves my stress.

Some people say it's a hard game,

but I believe I'm truly blessed.

Everyone cannot live out this dream,

so cherish the moment

 because in the end,

we all get seen.

Either as the man that embraced this wonderful game,

or one that quit on his team.

In the end, 

we all leave the game with different stories to tell,

and one thing's for certain...

I'ma keep grinding until y'all know mines real well!

How Bad Do You Want to Succeed?

How Bad Do You Want to Succeed?

As easy as it is for everyone to say they want to succeed, how many are willing to sacrifice something for the price of success? How many are so hungry to make it that they can't think of doing anything else? Well, if you want to succeed you have to ask yourself "How bad do I really want it?." Michael Jordan didnt become the G.O.A.T by "turning up", "drilling", or being a "hitta"...he put in hard work and dedication. The man who wins, is the man who thinks he can. Fear melts when you take action toward a goal you really want! When you want to succeed as bad as you breathe, then you will be successful! When you trying to breathe you dont care about a basketball game, you dont care about a party, you dont care about being cool, nor do you care about anybody calling or tweeting you...ALL you care about is trying to get a breath of air! So "Turn down for what?", you ask? Turn down because your future and  success depends on it! ONLY THE STRONG SURVIVE! Check out the video above and #BeInspired!!!!  

"My attitude is that if you push me towards something that you think is a weakness,

then I will turn that perceived weakness into a strength."

-Michael Jordan
