Life is full of Surprises!

I haven't blogged for over 6 months and thought it was a great time to get back blogging, not necessarily for you guys, but for me! Blogging for me helps me to consciously think about what specific mental performance components I need to not only discuss, but also put into practise myself. Since my surgery late in 2012 to remove half my kidney as it was being rented out but a possible cancerous cyst (luckily it was benign) as well as trying to get over my back injury, you could say life has been teaching me some of its BIGGER lessons.

One lesson I learnt is that if you stop focusing on strengthening a specific area of your life, over time it will become weaker. I used to pride myself on practising what I preach, pushing my mind to reach new heights and experience new levels in the wide variety of areas that make up mental performance. Unfortunately, I can say that over the past 12 months or so I have lost focus on strengthening my own mind and pushing myself to see what the human mind is possible of and it has showed!

But the great thing is, all the things I have been through the past 12 months that have literally turned my life upside down have given me new focus, motivation and inspiration to firstly become the very best person I can be and secondly, become the best mental performance coach possible.

I will be using this blog to help me stay on track and give everyone a little insight into what I will be doing to help me stay on the path of improvement. I can say that I haven't felt this excited and motivated about all things in life- Love, Family, Friends, Health, Travel, Hobbies & Dare2Dream than I ever have before!

The next blog will touch on the whirlwind past few months since my amazing wife made a deep run in the World Series of Poker Main Event, finishing 31st out of over 6300 players. This awesome achievement resulting in her become an 888Poker Ambassador which is something that she has been working so hard for over the past 4 years as a poker professional.

888Poker seem like a perfect fit for Jack as they want her to travel and represent 888Poker in events played all over the world! Obviously, she will need a mental performance coach, security guard, lover and best friend to be there with her;)

Thanks for reading and I look forward to blogging at least once a week to help me achieve my absolute best in every aspect of life!:)
