Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Life is often described as "The Game of Life." Therefore, Life can also be fairly compared to the games of football and basketball as they both are played in four quarter intervals and two halves. If you were to ask your friends or family who won the first half of the last basketball or football game they witnessed, few if any, could accurately reply. Yet if you asked who won the last football or basketball game and received an answer, they will have expressed who won The Second Half. It doesn't matter who wins in the first half. The Game of Life, Basketball and Football are indeed won in The Second Half. The Second Half is referred to by some as a New Beginning, the fourth quarter, crunch time, gut check time or that point in the game when YOU realize it's NOW or NEVER but it's not over. Welcome To LIFE IN THE SECOND HALF! David K. Jackson is a Pastor, Life Coach, Motivational Speaker, Certified Personal Trainer, Writer and Proud United States Marine that served on the Elite Marine Security Guard (Embassy) Program.

This book was released on 2018-06-08 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My whole life, I was an athlete. I played football, basketball and baseball in high school and went to William and Mary on a football scholarship. After college, I played professional football overseas, which was when I got injured. Looking back, it's easy to see how that injury became a game-changing moment in my life. Although it meant that I was no longer going be a professional-level athlete, it also led me to the realization that I wanted to work with athletes. Today I work with some of the world's best athletes including NFL MVPs, MLB and NBA All-Stars, Super Bowl champions and Olympic gold medalists. One of the things I learned as I recovered from that injury was that mindset means everything. Getting your mind right is what allows you to overcome any adversity. It's what led me to discover that a setback does not need to define you. Instead a setback can actually become a setup. In my case, that injury set me up to live my life purpose, which is to create, motivate and inspire people to greatness. Whether I am working with athletes, business owners, executives or leaders in their field, one defining trait of anyone who wants to reach their optimal potential is that they have the mindset of a champion. That means they are focused on what they want to achieve, and they do whatever it takes to make it happen. In other words, they consistently work to get 1% better - every single day! They do that by surrounding themselves with positivity, visualizing their goals, following their purpose, and doing simple things like reading books that motivate and inspire them. Because you are holding this book in your hands I can see that you, too, are ready to be inspired. The fact that you've opened these pages shows me you have a growth mindset and are looking to get better in your life. So, let me tell you a little bit about what you are going to read. This book is written by eight fitness professionals who train both the 'Joes' and the pros. Through their experience, they have learned what it takes to create champions - whether you are playing on the field or off. In these pages, you are going to read their stories and discover their secrets to becoming a top performer, whether you are a youth athlete, a professional athlete, or anyone in between. They are going to show you that being an athlete goes way beyond sets and reps. It is about being your best, digging deep and unleashing the power you have within. Are you ready to do that? Then it's time to start reading. Allow these stories to move, inspire and motivate you. Take notes. Re-read the sections that resonate with you. There are many lessons to be learned, and I want you to absorb all of them as you read. Keeping growing, keep learning, and continue to empower yourself. And most of all, Get Your Mind Right so you can go out and live your best life!

This book was released on 2019-11-19 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Motivation is key to substance use behavior change. Counselors can support clients' movement toward positive changes in their substance use by identifying and enhancing motivation that already exists. Motivational approaches are based on the principles of person-centered counseling. Counselors' use of empathy, not authority and power, is key to enhancing clients' motivation to change. Clients are experts in their own recovery from SUDs. Counselors should engage them in collaborative partnerships. Ambivalence about change is normal. Resistance to change is an expression of ambivalence about change, not a client trait or characteristic. Confrontational approaches increase client resistance and discord in the counseling relationship. Motivational approaches explore ambivalence in a nonjudgmental and compassionate way.
