It's youth baseball pep-talk season🙂. Gave my first pregame motivational speech to Coach Marco A Alcala's Pirates of the Brad Mar Pine Baseball and Softball Association. Don't blink on these 'lil sluggers - they're the real deal!

One of the funnest days of my life...true story. Thank you Crash Boat Experiences and Captain Wood for, well...quite an experience I'll never forget! Swimming with huge tarpons, snorkeling with tropical fish of all kinds, sea turtle spotting, boat hopping to coastal beaches & hideaways...but by far, I loved best - the pelicanos! I never knew how amiable and endearing they really are. Remember, be a PeliCAN, not a PeliCan't😉 🇵🇷

Today, the senior high school students rallied to raise money for The Children's Heart Foundation with an all day charity basketball tournament. 26 teams entered the tournament to raise over $1,000 to help fund research that helps give babies with congenital heart defects, better and longer lives. ❤️

POSITIVE POST-IT /// You can do it. You are worthy.

Two of my college coaches plan to lead others this summer with their very own sports camp...FOR GIRLS! Congratulations Riley & Leigh on your new endeavor. I know your campers will benefit greatly from your leadership.

28 years in the making!!

I started my journey coaching & mentoring youth athletes in 1996 with nothing more than a closet full of used sports equipment, props, and...a DREAM. 28 years of being "in the trenches" and the experience & wisdom learned has led me to this project I've been visualizing for many years.

A picture perfect afternoon to run a CDG Team-Building workshop...outdoors! Thank you Dr's. Tony & Gina Agostino-Manes of Complete Chiropractic Health in Cranberry, for giving me the opportunity to work with your amazing team.

I couldn't be more proud of this young man. For as long as I've known Noah, he's always led with his heart. A genuinely caring person who seeks to make life better for those in need. Please take a look into his campaign to fight blood cancers and be a part of his (& Nora's) team. You are a Community Champion Noah!

It's funny how "Team-Building" events work...you go in with the goal of helping others develop deeper connections with co-workers & teammates, but you're the one leaving fulfilled and feeling like a member of the team!

Congratulations to all of our youth runners who participated in CDG RUNdamentals January 2024 session!

CDG Sports is proud to be part of Fox Chapel School District's "Great Expectations" after-school program.

A great day for Coach Dave's Recess Buddies at Franklin Elementary!

Enjoyed my time with the mega-talented team members of Preston & Grafton Insurance Agency at their Wexford office. Thank you Kelly Grafton for the opportunity to speak to your team!

🐅WE ARE CARSON🐅

Thank you Principal Caitlin Ewing for the opportunity to share some time with your AMAZING students! As an alumnus of CMS, it was a true honor to speak before them.

POSITIVE POST-IT /// A positive affirmation as you embark on the New Year - know that YOU matter, and this world needs you 🙂.

I thoroughly enjoyed my visit with the students & faculty of St. James School in Sewickley this morning!

Wow!! We jam-packed the van...plus several other vehicles this evening for the "Pack The Van" Toy Drive at Cadence Clubhouse at Pro Bike + Run organized by Pine-Richland student Kelsey K. of the Teen Leadership Project. Thank you all 🙌.

So much FUN!! Thank you Ross Elementary!

It's that time of year again...help the Teen Leadership Project "PACK THE VAN" with toys for Play it Forward Pittsburgh. Let's make it a Merrier Christmas for all children this year.
