Find Your Competitive Edge
I had the opportunity to play against Hall of Famer Deion Sanders twice.
It pushed me to study more, adjust my approach, and figure out small ways to create space, even against one of the greatest to ever line up on the field.
You might not be lining up against Hall of Famers, but the pressure you’re facing is just as real. Whether it's making tough calls in the boardroom or pushing for peak personal performance, you’ve got challenges to outmaneuver, doubts to silence, and big moves to make.
Let’s break through your blockers and beat the coverage.

There’s only one thing you need to do to succeed Beat the Coverage
It comes from my NFL days as a wide receiver,
where my job was to read the defense, recognize the coverage (man or zone), and find the opening. That mindset earned me nine seasons in a league where most don't last even two, despite everyone saying I was too small.
Today, the coverage looks different.
It's competition. Economic pressure. Self-doubt. Shifting customer behavior. Even success can become a distraction when it breeds complacency. Ultimately, coverage represents whatever stands between you and your objective!
Beating the Coverage isn't just a mindset or another sports metaphor. It's a repeatable strategy for staying sharp, staying disciplined, and outperforming whatever's in front of you.
