Peyton Manning is the Man!
Whether as an Indianapolis Colt or a Denver Bronco, I’ve always been a 📢fan.
- 👊🏻Stand-up guy
- 🍩Oreo Double Stuff w/brother Eli
- 🍕Papa John’s fly
- 🚘Nationwide’s pride
- 🏉Scored w/my homeboy in SB 41 ~ 1 & done, son!
So, as the AFC Champs🏆 play🏈 in the Bay🌉 today in their white, I’ll be DIY out of sight with my blue and orange spirit on bright! Rooting on this QB in SB 50! 🇺🇸

For a 💡dose🍊 of motivation:
My 👓Must-See👀 💿DVDs📀
Get Coached is a collection💾 of 🎬segments🎥 from 🌠winning🏆 🏉football🏈 📣coaches📢
- 4 NFL head coaches, including 2 Mikes ~ one (Singletary) who played for another Mike (Ditka) & the father (Buddy Ryan) of another featured coach (Rex Ryan), + another one (Sean Payton) who I actually reported on for one of my last doctoral classes
- The Florida State Seminoles former coach (Bobby Bowden)

I also am including how their speeches🎤 ~ which are relevant not just in terms of athletic leadership, but 👔corporate💼 🏣business, as well ~ tie in with the 🌈exemplary💭 leadership theory that I’m exploring in my doctoral🎓 📜dissertation.
📢Cheers👏🏽 to 🏉NFL🏈 Preseason I 🎊2015🎉 👟kickoff!

All Day I Dream💭 About SOCCER⚽️

World Cup Champs! 🏆
After all, how’d I land my muscular legs?
Actually, although folks have pointed out how I could pass as a kicker, I didn’t play fútbol, but I’ve surrounded myself with many fellows who 💕💞💓💗💖💝love💟❤️💛💚💙💜 the game, including
F is for … Flashback Friday

Don’t use this peak 🌅summer🌻 😅heat💥 as an excuse not to kick around the ball. You may have an indoor field ~ just like the one in the city where I’m pursuing my PhD which is happens to be run by someone from my hometown (how’s that for a small 🌍world?)!
FYI: All Day I Dream About 💡Scholarship🏤 …
And I’m taking those steps👣 to follow through toward scoring my goal!
Just like in soccer!

“Winning isn’t everything, but wanting to win is.” ~ Vince Lombardi 🏈
That was a quote from a clue that appeared on today’s episode of Double Jeopardy! 📺
M is for …
March Madness * Motivational * Men’s Basketball * Magnificent Coach = Mike Krzyzewski

Coach K aims high: one and done, son! ☝️
The commentators for tonight’s close [insert here: 💅nail-biting😁, white-knuckling👊, edge-of-your-seat💺, screaming-when-you’ve-already-lost your-voice😱] NCAA Men’s Division I Basketball🏀 Championship described Coach K as magnificent.
A is for: Ability to Adapt and Adjust
These analysts also attributed this to Coach K.

Coach K now can count his NCAA championship titles on one full hand 👋
Now, more than ever, I’m confident that I chose the right topic for my doctoral🎓 dissertation📜 research because this amazing man was the one who affirmed it more in the first place and has served as a driving force behind my continued studies!

Coach K won five by five! 🙌
Aside from Coach K’s coaching leadership on the court and in the locker room for both college and pro ball that I’ve observed and studied*, I’ve admired him for the following reasons in which I can relate:
- He served our country🇺🇸, through the United States Army (I appreciate all of our veterans)
- He also is a devout🙏 Catholic💒

What a way for this senior to wrap up his college ball career! 👊
I must update my dissertation introduction, in which I mentioned that Coach K has led his Duke Blue Devils to four NCAA titles🏆 –> I now can revise it to FIVE!!!
Also, my 😸Double A-Teammates😻 deserve credit as my good luck🍀 charms toward this championship because during most of the game when the Wisconsin Badgers led, I was working on school💻, and when I tuned in more during crunch and clutch time⏰, they joined me to cheer📢 on the young Devs that included majority freshmen in the starting line-up!

YES, my Snow Angels go for the Blue Devils!
Lastly, I wish to point out that the very first paper that I wrote for my doctoral coursework compared the coaching styles of Coach K and his West Point coach, Bobby Knight ~ I’m proud that I aced🃏 it back then and proud of this team this whole season and tonight! 🌠

For the love of the team and the love of the game! 💝
*For more reasons why Coach K has the winning leadership recipe that champions both high performance and satisfaction, please read his books📚 and these studies📑 that I cited about him and Coach Knight, a.k.a. The General:

Fresh Off the Boat = Fresh On Point!
As an Asian Gen-Y, I absolutely agree with the points addressed by the main character of this season’s new ABC sitcom, Fresh Off the Boat! I can totally relate to Eddie for the following reasons:

Ray Lewis: Super Bowl XLVII Champ of the Baltimore Ravens

Dallas Mavericks: NBA Finals Champions 2011!

After covering Friday’s elementary school appaerance, I rooted on two of my special kiddos, who specifically invited me to show spirit!
1. First, I supported my *superstar* science student in his basketball playoff game

Point Guard for the *MAVS*
in which he continued to advance toward the championship!
2. Then, I went on to his cousin/my honorary GODdaughter‘s volleyball game

Serves Up!
as Maggie’s proud Madrina!

L is for …
Leadership * Legendary * Legacy

Coach K: the first Men’s Division I coach to reach 1K victories!
That is exactly what Coach K exudes, and today, he took it to the highest level ~ as he exceeded 999 wins when his Duke Blue Devils excelled at Madison Square Garden and thundered past the St. John’s Red Storms.
Now he has joined the ranks of my fave female coach, Pat Summitt!
Congrats to my hero who made history on this Game Day!
