DHD's Path to Enlightenment

July 16, 2023

All of the sights- endless farming fields, mountains, beaches, new cities with new restaurants, businesses, and people. It all means nothing when you have no one to share it with (except yourself). 

Teammates and staff have endless talent and ambition for their sport, but, it still feels like something missing:

Through our experience, it was purpose. 

Your school, your town, your team, your family, etc. Even with a playing career continuing, it is challenging to be present for your purpose back home-It is almost like living two lives.

You miss birthdays, holiday celebrations, weddings, emergencies, even more than before. We all make sacrifices for what we love, but it comes to a point where we have to draw a line in the sand and say "enough is enough". 

Mark 8:36-"What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul?" 

It’s an experience we highly recommend and support. Fair warning that there will be restless nights and early mornings. Anxiety, loneliness, and borderline depression causing you to feel lost in your own skin. Eventually, through the support of friends, family, and community, you will be able to come out on the other side a higher version of yourself. 

We came out with a new mission in mind-To support and challenge any and all athletes looking to invest in their careers. 

The secret that everyone is looking for - endless exploration.

Family and Friends-too many to name, you know who you are

Long conversations, late nights, lots of confusing emotions, struggle. Most importantly- endless, relentless, unconditional love.

Everything has purpose. Here’s my paper trail for you. Take what you will and good luck.
