My Cataract Journey (Part 3: The Second Surgery)
Read Part 1 and Part 2 The second surgery is done, and what a difference they’ve made in my life. I really didn’t realize how bad my vision was until I could see. The first one went so well, with no expectations, and I thought this one would be the same.

How Your Brain Puts Circuits Together
On a recent Coaching Hour, I talked about how there’s less emphasis on the mechanics of the shot back in the cage and more emphasis on the last 15 percent of how I wanted the shot to go, as well as where I wanted the shot to be taken. As we were practicing at Westside, I remember feeling really at ease. There was no pressure. We weren't hurrying. We were just having fun until we got in the box. When we got i... Read more…
