In this video clip the MVP himself breaks down the plays that were special. After his breakdown of the play, the nations top recruits to to recreate the play.

Just wanted to share a great quote from an ICON

National Dog Day - my DES 170 lbs of LOVE

National Dog Day - Des = 170 lbs of LOVE

This my my Dog, this was a Christmas present from my wife. DES is a Great Dane. A Gentle Giant.
He is love able, cuddly , he thinks he is a lap dog, he doesn't know or care if he is 170 lbs.

The way he welcomes me home from a long day of work, the way he knows when I pack my bags for a trip, his kisses, he loves drives in the jeep, where his head sticks out, he loved the convertable, he likes hikes. Walks and runs, he likes to sneak a snack from the kitchen, he gets jealous when the grand dog comes around, he hates be be outside when we have a party.
He will watch basketball games with me, he lays by my feet when I work, he likes sleep overs in the tent. He just wants to be close and snuggle as much as possible

He has been a warrior, he has 1 lung, he had his stomach clipped since he twisted years back, he is a great guard dog, he will let us know when someone comes to visit, he loves to sleep on his matress at night next to our bed. He likes cool weather, he loves carrots and ice cubes for treats, he mourned the lost of his sister LACEY.

He loves when we have guest, he is my best buddy........I baby him, I am a softy, he likes when I rub. His ears and rub his back, I sleep on the floor with him when he doesn't deel well.
He has no idea he is a dog.

Love this BIG FELLA
He is a  great and valuable member of the Fields family

Bill Russell- one of the ALL TIME top Team players and Champions

Bill Russell - one of the ALL TIME top Team players and Champions

I found this post, I have always admired Bill Russell from afar, and I always wanted to set with him and have a conversation with him. I find him to be one of the best competitions of all time, before Live TV games, before social media. How can he be left off of the Mt Rushmore of players?

This post says it all, some people just have a way of winning at every level, they have special characteristics, and talents and skill sets. they are leaders of men, they play a Team GMe, but they empower all of those around them and make them better.

Boston won several Championships during his tenure, as a player, a player coach.

banners have been hung in the Boston Gardens. This man has a lot of hardware and jewelry.

Bill Russell, simply one of the best to ever do it, and he did it vs Wilt Chamberlian, so he wasn't the only Big on the court, yes he was surrounded by talent, but he was the anchor.

I wish I could set and just talk about Sports/Basketball/Life with you.

A Coaches need for an escape and serenity is healthy

A Coaches need for an escape and serenity is Healthy.

This post is all about healthy mind, body and spirit. I feel I am blessed to live out in Gods country.
I live just south of Salt Lake City in Utah. I have always had an interest in the western states.

I guess that comes from my grandfather on my moms side, he would take trips to Colorado, Idaho, Utah to hunt Deer and Elk with his friends. I would watch his old reel to reel black and white movies and think it was so cool. They would set up camp, and Chase Big Game in Southern Colorado.

My father is a huge outdoors man as well,  he is retired and his passion for the outdoors with fishing and hunting and camping was passed on. I guess I am easily a third generation outdoors man. When fall rolls around, and there starts to be a crips in the air and the leaves start to change, I get excited.
I live around several Big Game animals, that are not in the mid west.

Moose, Elk, Mule and Whitetail deer, Pronghorn Antelope, Black bear, Big Horn Sheep, Wolves, Cougars can be found along the Wasatch front.  the mountain scales are breathtaking, literally, as I hike in this evelevation above 5200 ft, the air is thin, and the steepness of the terrain is a great cardio workout.

I can remember trips I would take with one of my childhood buddy to the western states. Scotty and I loaded up the car, slept in a tent every night and ate cold cuts and snacks to hike and get movies and still photos of wildlife were highlights of my youth. Scotty and I made great memories together. I now live here with my wife and family.

When I am not in basketball, my second passion is the outdoors. The Big Sky, fresh air, the wildlife.
The popping of a campfire, the hikes. The scenery, there is nothin better. The sense of adventure, to crest the next Summitt, as yiu never known hat you will spot.

The cardio is best cross training, it is always not easy, it is like doing a lunge on every step. With my Rhuematiod arthritis, it slows me down, I just go at my pace. I take the time to soak it all in. I enjoy the beauty. It is a workout, a great sweat. So , please hydrate and fuel up.
For the mind, for me, just to get out and get away, it outdoor therapy. The peace and serenity and being in the Big Game environment is a thrill.

For the spirit and soul, the is nothing better, to me, it is spiritual. It cleanses the soul.

I know for others. It can be anything, a good book, a movie, maybe Golf, or skiing, whatever it is to recharge your batteries, I encourage it. The players and your Team  you coach deserve your best.
Whatever it is to rid your stress, get out and do it. if it is gardening, go garden, for me, Look for me off of the trail, on a game trail, look near a stream or within an eye shot of a heard of elk in the fall.

I will be the guy, with a smile on my Face. A quickend pulse and goose bumps.

Kobe Bryant - Competitive Spirit

Kobe Bryant - Competitive Spirit

I found this post from a former NBA player who is now a Coach. I spoke with this young man this summer at the NBA summer league. He was thrilled for his opportunity after coaching in the D league last season. I was happy for him, as I have been around him often. He is. Great guy who continues to give back to the game and his home community.

He posted this to show his respect for a man he competed against for many seasons.

I wanted to repost and share this, as I feel it does a great job of Kobe himself putting into words what makes him who he is.

Steph Curry - just another reason to like this man

Steph Curry- Just another reason to like this guy

Yes, I have had the honor and privledge to have cross paths with the MVP on two separate occasions in my career. I was lucky to be with GS in his rookie year at the NBA Summer League.

The second occasion was able to coach him at the NBA charity event in SLC.

This is not to exploit those opportunities, but I was able to observe and see first hand, how humble, how coachable of a young man he was. I watched his routine, Steph would work on his ball handling before the game. he does the same routine today. His WorkEthic is outstanding, he constantly pushes himself outside of his comfort zone. Steph is a man of spirit and he isn't afraid to show it.

Steph writes in his shows, "I can do all things" a biblical verse.

I am proud of him and he has inspired many. 

This is a great photo and quote, so I felt I should share. Again, just another reason to Like and Support this man. Steph Curry is more than just a player in an NBA Team. I hope many more follow in the trail he is blazing.

What is your EXCUSE ? By Coach Scott Fields

What is your EXCUSE ? By Coach Scott Fields

Take a closer look at this photo ! I am blessed that I currently work with people with disabilities on a daily basis, as I am between Coaching positions. I am inspired on a daily basis when I observe some unique challenges people live with.

I observe challenges, I talk with them, I listen closely to the families. I am moved to my core.

It is all about attitude, it is all about choices, I see special needs individuals and what challenges they encounter when it comes to quality of life. 

I see people give in, and I see them wilt, I also see strong minded individuals and they don't let obstacles stand in their way, they find a way, of course with assistance, with adaptive equipment, assistive technology. But I see inspiration in their eyes, there soul glows, they smile with sincerity, they laugh from the heart, they are real, they don't want attention, they are SPECIAL, they are DRIVEN, this is why it saddenss me to see healthy individuals make excuses, feel sorry for themselves. Why? 

I too suffer on a daily basis from a crippling disease of Rhuematiod Arthritis. It was not genetic, I contracted the illness while taking a vaccine to except my scholarship in North Carolina. I was a HS Hall of Fame athlete on scholarship to play basketball and pursue a dream.

I took the vaccine in October of 1986. I was bed fast in November of 1987.

This is not about me, this is about awareness, it is about individuals who still live their life. they still have a FIRE within them, they have a purpose. They don't allow individuals or circumstances to set their limitations. They have ambition, the have faith, they have determination.

We all have a story, we all have challenges, we all have trials and tribulations.

But

We also have choices, we have decisions on how we will live our life.

Look around you , you are what your choices have led you to. If you don't like your current situation, just know it is temporary, you can fix it, you can choose to make excuses, you can choose to be miserable, you can be one of those who complain Nd do nothing about it.

Or, you can find solutions to issues. Yiu can make progress with your attitude? Will you choose to except things as they are? Or will you make changes.

I am quilty, I have been in ruts, I have felt sorrow, I am far from perfect, I have had a poor attitude about things. I too have complained, I have felt sorry for myself . But those where test, they were life lessons. 

You too have a choice...REVIVE you. Make the decision to move forward, you might fail? If you do Fail Forward....keep moving towards your goals, keep moving towards your aspirations. FEAR what? Fear is an emotion, it is a self manufactured illusion. 

I hope this post inspires you to be a better you, I hope the photo inspires you to see other choose to be successful.sometimes it is all about changing your perspective.

It is not about flexing muscle, it is about flexing your brain....

Excuses? Are only good for those who make them, go ahead wallow in your excuse, I will not enable you,  I will listen, but, I will set back and see if you wIll do anything about your circumstance, it is up to you to fix it...

An excuse is a premeditated mental reasoning to yourself..are you really buying into it? 

Denial, it is real...how many people know a parent who is in denial about a child with substance abuse issues? How many times have you heard the parent make an excuse for the childs behavior. 

Just throwing it out to make you think about it...I would rather have honesty, direct honesty. It might sting, but in many situations it is far healthier. It will not kill you to hear the truth. Accept it, process it, use it to inspire you in a positive direction, just like a doctor prognoses. You can choose to accept it, or you can you it to empower yourself to make a change Ina. Positive direction.

I was told I would be in a wheelchair at the age of 25, I was told my disease was so active and so much degenerative bone decay by the worlds best doctors at the mayo clinic, that I and my family needed to be prepared for a wheelchair. 

I told my family, "they don't know me very well do they " 

It was a defining moment, I choose not to accept it, I was stubborn, I was heard headed. I fought it  I didn't allow it to define me. Yes, I had great doctors, I struggled to find medications to help me ease the pain, to ease the swelling, I was taking 16 pills a day, in hopes of finding something to help me control the disease, not or never in remission, but control it.

Well, I am about to turn 48, I am still not in a wheelchair. 

True story, I was coaching in Lebanon, I tore my ACL. They did surgery on me to reconstruct my ACL. We had a game three days later, I told the doctors to get me out of the hospital and allow me to coach and lead my team. They said ok, but I would be in a wheelchair.

I said NO, I would be on the sideline , no wheelchair, becUse of what the doctors told me at the Mayo clinic. 

They gave me crutches, I threw the crutches down. I hopped on one leg, with sweat pouring down my body from pain, I had a huge brace on my leg that was newly reconstructed. but I did it to lead by example to my team. 

It was a choice, again a defining moment, ask my players and the fans they will remember.

I am not special, I am just another man who has a choice. I don't share this with you to put myself on a pedestal, I share it in hopes of inspiring others to make healthy choices in the life.

God Bless you on your journeys, thanks dr allow me to share a bit about myself.

But I am blessed God has put me wher I am now. I am inspired daily with the individuals and families I serve daily. You are my inspiration.
