Making the Most of the Off-Season
Posted on by Malcolm Munro.
As we near the end of the NFL season with the Superbowl Game coming up in a few days, it’s nearing that time where players refresh, heal up, and reload for the coming season. Ironically, as football ends, the baseball off-season is coming to a close with spring training just around the corner. Sports are [...]

What Season Are You In?
Posted on by Malcolm Munro.
This past Sunday I either had food poisoning or a horrific stomach virus so I spent the entire day laying in bed watching TV while dozing on and off. The channel parked was on Biography HD and they were doing a marathon of rock band bios. Each episode had a theme. Band members come together [...]

The Power of Taking Charge
Posted on by Malcolm Munro.
By now you know I’m not a big fan of leadership studies (even though my Masters Degree is in Organizational Leadership) so it’s not often you’ll find me talking about leadership. Too hard to define. Too much “sitting up on the mountain” casting vision and not enough getting things done. My preference is for the [...]

Posted on by Malcolm Munro.
This morning I read an interesting article about San Francisco 49rs quarterback Alex Smith. For those of you who don’t know, Smith was the first overall draft pick in the 2005 draft. For the first six years of his career, he failed to live up to his own billing, not to mention the great tradition [...]

Goals vs. Resolutions – Part 1
Posted on by Malcolm Munro.
It’s that time of year. Time to set those expected New Year Resolutions. They’re all the same: lose weight, quit smoking, stop drinking, get out of debt, work out more. We’ve all set them and most of us break them (or forget about them) before January ends. Then of course we become skeptical. How many [...]

Catch Your “Second Wind” in 2012
Posted on by Malcolm Munro.
Last week I told you about my high school football coach Joe Cupp’s passing at the age of 64. You heard my story of him motivating me. After reading his obituary, I realized that Coach Cupp accomplished much after coaching me. He had a successful business career I never knew about. I remember him moonlighting [...]

Get off the Ladder and Back in the Game
Posted on by Malcolm Munro.
This week my high school football coach Joe Cupp passed away after a lengthy illness. While I hadn’t spoken to him in years, it still came as a shock and saddened me. I have lots of fond memories of playing for him, but this one sticks in my mind more than any others. It was [...]
