Trent and Theresa talk about winning the day. They share a key takeaway from their recent read -- Mark Batterson's Win the Day.  And how that takeaway applies to both life and athletics. 

-Theresa's takeaway: “Our grand business undoubtedly is, not to see what lies dimly at a distance, but to do what lies clearly at hand.” -Thomas Carlyle
*What would it look like to live, in the words of Sir William Osler, "in day tight compartments?"
*Being present is a skill and a discipline needed to be our best in both athletics and life. It must be practiced and trained.

-Trent's takeaway: If you do little things like they’re big things, God will do big things like they’re little things...Dream big but start small.
*Where are you dreaming too small?
*What are the small opportunities to which you need to treat with a greater sense of professionalism?
