Trek to Texas

So I've decided to take the full time plunge into H.E.A.R.T Athletics. This decision came after quitting my job in search of obtaining my dream.

Chasing my dream has led us to the 2nd Round of the Shark Tank audition, increased sales and a meeting with the Dallas Coboys.

Over the next few weeks I will be recording and sharing our experiences of the process while we chase our dreams. Enjoy the ride...

Hello, my name is John Harris and H.E.A.R.T Athletics LLC is the name of the company I started during my last year in the military. H.E.A.R.T Athletics LLC is a company that aims to bridge the gap between a common sports phrase (heart; having it, using it, wearing it on your sleeve...etc.) and the athletes who exude it. It has been my life long dream to start my own business while providing a unique product to athletes and sports fans just like myself. Having "H.E.A.R.T" means so much to me because as a football player, I wasn't the biggest or the fastest, but I played hard each and every down I was on the field. One of my most favorite memories is walking onto a Division 1AA football team and not only making the team, but starting as a Freshman Cornerback for the season. I hope you find my blog entertaining and inspiring, ultimately pushing YOU to achieve lofty goals.

ESPN has NO clue what quitting looks like

I ran across this story just a couple of minutes ago and the title of it absolutely infuriates me. For ESPN to say this kid is quitting is entirely false. This kid IS NOT quitting, he is attempting to ensure the rest of his life isn't filled with the effects of post concussion syndrome. Quitting in the regular Americans mind is giving up when you feel like it or just plain ol' quitting because you CAN'T handle whatever situation you find yourself in. This kid is looking at his future, not the situation he finds himself in currently. Tell me if this sounds like a quitter to you...You sign a letter of intent to play for a University that can recruit in its state alone and NEVER...EVER have to recruit outside of Texas. You have a history of concussions, but still try to play. You redshirt your Junior year because of a shoulder injury but still come back the next year (*blogger note* redshirting means you sit out the entire year, you get to practice but can not play in the games. But as you sit and watch, others are getting the chance to play meaning that you have to earn your way onto the field...again). Does THIS sound like a quitter to you? ESPN, you are full of people who have no clue of what H.E.A.R.T means...no clue.
