No parking fee, no stay and play fee

May your path be cleared this November and all blocks be removed.

Dear Lord, Today, give November a different ending, lift the overlooked, replenish the exhausted, settle unfinished business, turn unpaid efforts into paid opportunities, make the right people remember my name, bring relief where I’ve been stretched thin and give me a win big enough to make these past ten months worth the fight. In Jesus’ name, amen🙏🏽

Dear Lord, Today, extend Your grace over my decisions, let mercy meet me in my mistakes, protect me from dangers I cannot detect, strengthen the parts of me life has tested, rescue what trouble tried to ruin, preserve the people I love and make every breath I take count for something greater than what I’ve been through. In Jesus’ name, amen🙏🏽

Dear Lord, Today, thank You for the grace that kept me, the mercy that spared me, the prayers You answered, the trouble You brought me through and the moments You stepped in when I had nothing left. Keep me mindful of how far You’ve brought me, grateful for what I still have and humble enough to admit I wouldn’t be here without You. amen🙏🏽

Dear Lord, Today, take everything that looks out of order and make it come together, send the right people my way, let what’s supposed to happen happen when it should, turn every unexpected twist in my favor and work out what I couldn’t work out on my own. When it’s all said and done, let nobody have to wonder who made it happen. In Jesus’ name, amen🙏🏽

Dear Lord, Today, if I become discouraged & want to give up, may You remind me that I wasn't made to surrender or stop. I was created to finish. Remind me that I am on a God assignment. You made me for a unique reason, & the plans You have, I’ve been included in them. amen🙏🏽

Dear Lord, Today, anoint me to deal with the Sauls without becoming one, let jealousy miss its mark, insults roll off my back, opposition lose its grip and my feet take ground my family never touched. Break what kept generations stuck, give me victories that change my family’s future and make me the one who goes further than anybody before me. In Jesus’ name, amen🙏🏽

SOMETHING AMAZING IS ON IT'S WAY

Dear Lord, Today, get my heart right, my mind ready, my priorities straight and my faith in position for what You have planned this week, help me leave behind what I know needs to change, take care of what I’ve been putting off and make room for You to move. Before this week is over, let me witness something I couldn’t have made happen myself. In Jesus’ name, amen🙏🏽

Dear Lord, Today, prepare me for the wonders You have ahead, draw me closer to You, make my heart ready, my faith stronger, my obedience intentional and my expectations bigger. Help me take today seriously because I believe tomorrow can change everything. Do something in my life that leaves me with no doubt Your hand was in it. In Jesus’ name, amen🙏🏽

New York Knicks head coach Mike Brown delivers a powerful message to his players at practice… He pulls his starting five aside, looks at the remaining players and tells them: “Everybody else in this gym, you’re fighting — either to make the team or for minutes.” I love this! Because it speaks to something I believe is fundamental to high performance sport… the intentionality of practice. Practice isn’t simply a place to improve technical and tactical capabilities. It’s an opportunity to compete. To demonstrate who you are. To build the habits, behaviours, and mindset that serve you when the pressure is on. And that requires intention. Deliberate, purposeful, relentless intention. In my new book, Compete, I introduce the reader three psychological skills that underpin outstanding performance: Attention, Intensity, and Intent. Attention: What are you focusing on during practice? Before each drill, identify the information you need to pick up. The positioning of a defender, the movement of a teammate, the space opening up. Stay connected to these cues, make decisions based on what you see and refocus quickly when distracted. Don’t just go through the motions. Be mentally present. Intensity: Are you practising with the physical and mental intensity the situation demands? Sprint into position. Communicate with purpose. Compete for loose balls. React quickly when possession changes. Maintain your standards when fatigue sets in. And remember, intensity isn’t always about going flat out. It’s about bringing the right energy to each moment. Intent: What are you trying to achieve today? Set a clear objective before practice. Perhaps it’s attacking space aggressively, making quicker decisions or responding positively after mistakes. Commit to demonstrating that behaviour throughout the session. Afterwards, reflect on whether your actions matched your intentions. Because here’s the thing… You don’t suddenly become an outstanding competitor when the game begins. You build the behaviours of an outstanding competitor in practice. You build them when you’re tired. When you’re frustrated. When you’ve made a mistake. When you’re not getting the minutes you want. When nobody seems to be watching. And this is where Brown’s message becomes so powerful. He’s reminding his players that practice matters. That every possession is an opportunity to demonstrate something. That competition isn’t reserved for game day. Of course, effective practice needs more than effort. It needs quality, feedback, reflection, and the freedom to experiment and make mistakes. But combine these ingredients with a High Performance Mindset and practice becomes an extraordinarily powerful environment for development. My message to athletes is simple… Don’t just turn up to practice. Compete with purpose. Train your mindset as deliberately as you train your game. Because how you compete in practice helps shape how you compete when it matters most.

Dear Lord, Today, keep me grateful in every season, faithful when life gets difficult, confident when circumstances change, steady when plans fall apart, thankful when things go my way and trusting when they don’t. Let my praise outlast my problems, my faith survive every storm and my life reflect just how good You’ve been to me. In Jesus’ name, amen🙏🏽

Shakur Stevenson and Devin Haney exchanging words as their negotiations falter 😲

Dear Lord, Today, take the frustration out of my waiting, settle my mind when answers take longer, keep worry from stealing my peace, stop me from rushing ahead of You, give me patience with what I can’t control, confidence in what You’ve promised and enough faith to believe that You already have what I’m asking for. God, I trust You and I trust Your timing. In Jesus’ name, amen🙏🏽

Dear Lord, Today, improve how I present myself, raise my standards, protect my time, show me who deserves access to me, remove people who drain me, teach me to enjoy my own company and make my presence worth respecting. Make me selective without arrogance and valuable without needing validation. In Jesus’ name, amen🙏🏽
