No matter what sport you play, coach, or are a fan of the road map to success is in the details. How you do the little things is how you will do everything.
The first thing legendary UCLA coach John Wooden taught his players was to how to put on their socks properly so they would not bunch up and give a player a blister. A blister meant pain and not being 100%.
There are no shortcuts to being at your best. Everything that you do either moves the needle of your potential to the right (toward) or to the left (away).
No matter what you do pay attention to the details. The details aren’t always sexy. The details don’t always get the loudest claps or make a highlight reel. But here’s what the details get you.
1) Moving toward your full potential. 2) Confidence. 3) Self-Discipline. 4) Winning (still the goal).
Pay attention to the little things. A majority of people will not. If you do you’ll be a little bit better today than you were yesterday, and that’s the goal.
Meet Todd Gordon, a seasoned educator, coach, and activities administrator who dedicated an impressive 37 years to shaping the lives of students within the realm of education. His career has taken him on a remarkable journey through nine different school districts, ranging from the intimate setting of a small school to the dynamic landscape of a large, multi-high school urban district – truly everything in between.
In 2022, Todd embarked on a new chapter, retiring from his illustrious career in education. However, retirement did not signal an end to his passion for making a positive impact in the realm of sports and activities. Todd joined BOUND, a leading sports software company, where he continues to contribute his wealth of experience and knowledge to support activity administrators and coaches.
Beyond the professional arena, Todd’s personal life is a testament to dedication and enduring love. Married to his wife, Deb, for an impressive 40 years, they have navigated life’s journey together. Their family has grown to include three married children, each on their unique paths, and six delightful grandchildren who bring joy and laughter to their lives.
Todd authored and published his first book, “The Power of One. One Word Leadership”, in 2022.
His newest project is the “The Pursuit”, and it starts with new writings on a new page on this website. Todd delves into the essence of your daily pursuit of excellence, offering insights on growth, resilience, and the power of redemption. By weaving daily Scripture insights into our exploration, we bridge the timeless with the contemporary, inviting you to reflect on leadership principles grounded in spiritual wisdom.
