The 1% Mindset, Coming To You Live
Let’s get the 1% Message in front of your team! Separating from average is a mentality, not a hope or wish – it’s a guarantee that nothing or no one will stop you from achieving record-breaking success.
The 1% Mindset is a DECISION, promising to never again, get out worked … never again, allow others to determine what’s possible for you … never again, let fear and doubt dictate choices … never again, waste a second of opportunity … never again, make “realistic” a part of your vocabulary … never again, settle for mediocrity!
My message to your team isn’t cliche, it’s driven by mistakes I was forced to learn from as an adult, wishing I had that opportunity while I was competing. “Just do your best” won’t be mentioned … “Be BETTER than your best” will, however!
Your level of success is determined by how closely you align your actions with your desires – it’s an intentional act, never a coincidence. Together, we’ll create a culture in your program, where excellence isn’t hoped for, it’s expected … it’s not talked about, it’s LIVED!
The 1% Mindset is yours for the taking! Contact me here: dgingo@cox.net.

I'm Truly Humbled …
Live It, Breathe It, Sleep It, Bleed It …
Thank you to @EnvyMyAmbitions on Twitter for sending me this picture. He tweets me regularly, focusing on how he’s going to separate himself from the pack – ridiculous work ethic is one of his biggest weapons.
What are YOU doing to distinguish yourself? What commitment have you made to to set yourself apart from the weak and timid? Are you modeling for your kids, students, or friends? Who would benefit from your personal redevelopment?
If you can’t do it for yourself … focus on those who may feel inspired watching you raise your bar. The 1% Mindset is a choice to wake up each morning, dedicated to living a fearless life, pushing boundaries past the majority’s small term thinking.
When will you start?
Will You Do More Than The Minimum?
What you do when no one’s looking will determine your long term success. Are you doing the minimum or more than is expected?

She's Going Blind While Gaining Vision
This was sent to me by an up-and-coming star I’m blessed to work with. She’s young, hungry, and learning what it means to sacrifice. She’s having a difficult time seeing herself in the future, focusing on why she’s working so hard today. I’m constantly challenging her to lose her sight, and gain vision!
“One year ago I almost quit, and on top of that, my mom had almost pulled the plug until I decided that I’m not a quitter – that I’m not going to let someone in my life control who I am or what I want to be. Now, I’m playing national tournaments and I’m the best! I play with passion and emotion towards every shot I hit – not just every other shot or point, but every single shot!
Having my mental game improve and learning how to handle this, gave me a huge advantage in how I present myself and how I use it to break my opponents, crushing them every time we compete. I don’t just go out their to win, I go out there to show that I’m going to be the 1% that can complete their guarantees! Even though I don’t win every match, I go out there and put forth everything I’ve got until my arms and legs fall off – and that won’t even stop me.
This is what I look like – nothing or no one will break me to be the best at anything I do!”

We Have A Winner …
Congratulations to Max Gray for his inspiring Success Story ... He's the winner of a 1% T-shirt. "Sophomore year, my summer was going great. I felt unstoppable! During one of my team scrimmages, I dove for a pas, caught it, and landed weird. I got up and knew I was hurt, but kept going. I was new to varsity and wanted to keep playing, but just couldn't. I took a week off - I couldn't walk, sleep, or do anything without pain. The doctor said I was fine - just a sprained back. I began playing, but it kept hurting. I went back to the same doctor, but he kept saying it was just sprained. I didn't believe it. Was I really THAT weak? A sprained back, and I'm in THIS much pain? I hated everything. I finally went to a different doctor, who looked at the same MRI and said it was FRACTURED! I had been playing for 2 months with a fractured back. I remember being in so much pain, but nothing compared to when he told me I'd never play football again. I was depressed, I cried - it was extremely hard. I was stuck in a back brace for 6 months. I had no motivation until one day I realized I couldn't give up! I watched videos from Giavanni Ruffin, which inspired me a lot. I was finally able to do little things like push ups and sit ups. Every day, I was doing everything I possibly could. It hurt, but I knew the pain wouldn't last forever - I kept pushing myself. I would go early before school every day and just run, work out, and think. It was tough because there was still doubt in me that I couldn't play again. I eventually started track season, and hurt it again on the hurdles. I found a way to fight back and made it to bi-districts. Now, I'm here ... taking no days off, making sure that never happens again! I truly feel blessed to be able to play football and be a State competitor in track. I'm a fighter! I'm striving to be a kick returner and wide receiver at the college level. I'd be humbled to play ANYWHERE!" -Max Gray (@alldaymaxgray)
