There are only two types of players. Players that will and players that won’t.
Will the player accept their role? –Or won’t they?
Will the player put the team first? –Or won’t they?
Will the player be coachable? –Or won’t they?
Put whatever question you have as a coach and the player either will or won’t.
As a player, you have a choice to everything that is asked of you. You either will or you won’t, and at the end of each practice, game, season, and ultimately your career, you will either say “I’m glad I did” or “I wish I had.”
It is the same in your personal life. Either you do or you don’t. There is no trying. You will either say “I’m glad I did” or “I wish I had.”
At the end of the night you will give yourself just one test. The pillow test. When your head hits the pillow you will answer the question.
Will you be glad you did or wish that you had?
The more days you can say I’m glad I did the better off you will be.
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.
