Ray Zahab is a Canadian Explorer, ultra distance runner and Founder of non-profit impossible2Possible. A recent recipient of the Meritorious Service Cross of Canada, Ray is an Explorer in Residence of the Royal Canadian Geographical Society, and Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society. In 2015 Canadian Geographic recognized Ray as one of Canada’s Top Explorers. He has ran 17,000+km across the world’s deserts, and unsupported expeditions in some of the coldest places on the planet.

On November 1, 2006, former “pack a day smoker” turned ultra runner Ray Zahab and two friends, Charlie Engle and Kevin Lin, set out on an expedition to cross the Sahara Desert by foot. 111 days and 7,500 kms after leaving the coast of Senegal, Africa they completed their journey by stepping into the Red Sea.

In 2008, Ray founded impossible2Possible (i2P) (impossible2possible.com) an organization that aims to inspire and educate youth through adventure learning, inclusion and participation in expeditions. Youth Ambassadors are selected from around the world, and then participate, at no cost, in all aspects of the expedition, from logistics and running to creating educational content and team support. All of the i2P Youth Expeditions have included various challenge based initiatives through an Experiential Learning Program, in which thousands of students participate as active ‘team members’ during the expeditions, from classrooms all over the world. This program and its technology is also provided at no cost to the students or schools participating. Since its inception, i2P Youth Expeditions have included 14 gruelling expeditions; Baffin Island, Tunisia, the Amazon, Bolivia, India, Botswana, Utah, Peru, Chile, Italy, California, Greece, Death Valley and Canada. The programs and expeditions are 100% free of cost.

He continues today with life as an adventurer and as a volunteer with impossible2Possible. Transitioning from an unhealthy lifestyle to ultrarunning races to ‘Running The Sahara’ would begin a lifelong journey of discovery. A journey of learning that some of the greatest barriers to achieving our goals are the ones we put upon ourselves. By breaking these down, Ray has learned that we are all capable of achieving truly extraordinary things…a message he continues to share with his two young daughters!

New Year Your Why, New Goals

If you've noticed The last few weeks I have concentrated on why and goals. I have put a lot content on my Facebook Group Hey Coach! As well as Instagram and twitter.

Now I could do this whenever but since everyone uses New Years I will talk about it now. Its never too late though.

Everyone talks about setting goals but they never ask themselves why

I want to save money, workout, eat better

Why

Now some goals are fairly easy like I want to lose 5 pounds this month. You can do it without a why but you can get there faster with one. 

The 5 whys is used in Six Sigma which is a tool for process improvement 

But think of children. They always ask why, but why. 

They do this subconsciously to get to the root cause

Go back to being a child

Ex.

 I want to lose 15 pounds-Why

 I will feel healthier-Why

So I can feel better-Why

So I can do more activities- Why

So I can meet new people-why

Because I'm bored and lonely

You need to do this with someone you trust will not give into your own BS excuses. If you need someone and cant trust anyone , then reach out to me and I will be more than happy to help.

When you have your WHY then set those goals, I have an accountability coach, Tami Matheny of the Confidant Athlete and we set our goals for the year , the month and for the next time we speak.

When you are starting set long term mid and short term goals but also set an easy goal that you can easily achieve. This will give you feeling of what it's like to achieve a goal. Funny but so many people don’t realize they achieve goals because they do it every day. 

Do something like for 1 week you will get up on time without hitting the snooze or fix your bed before leaving the room. You will see how great you'll feel .

Then set another goal for the week  the month and the year.

Also tell someone your goals. If you'd like, send me your goals for the week to [email protected] and I'll check on you at the end of the week.

And don’t forget, If you don’t achieve your goal it's ok set another one. And it's ok to feel frustrated, that means you care. Be worried when you feel it doesn’t matter. That's why you tell someone. To encourage you when you are down.

I hope this helps you set your goals and grow.

Interview with Reggie Williams

Reginald Williams was born on September 19, 1954, in Flint Michigan. The son of Elijah and Julia Williams. Williams was a star athlete and student at Flint Southwestern High School. He played competitive football and also wrestled.   The recipient of an academic scholarship, Williams was a three-time All-Ivy League linebacker in football and Ivy League heavyweight wrestling champion in 1975 at Dartmouth College.

In 1976, Williams was drafted in the third round by the Cincinnati Bengals, for whom he played 14 seasons, (including two Super Bowls, XVI (1981) and XXIII (1988)).

Williams recorded 16 interceptions and 23 fumble recoveries, still a franchise record. During his career Williams amassed 62.5 sacks, the second most in the team’s history. In his final two seasons with Cincinnati, he was appointed to an open seat on the Cincinnati City Council in 1988 and was elected for a second term in 1989 on the Charter Party ticket. 

Williams has received numerous honors, including selection to the NFL All-Rookie Team (1976), the Byron “Whizzer” White Award for Humanitarian Service (1985), and the NFL Walter Payton Man of the Year Award (1986). He was also named Co-Sportsman of the Year in 1987 by Sports Illustrated. 

He is a member of the Greater Flint Area Sports Hall of Fame, the Greater Flint Afro-American Hall of Fame, and the College Football Hall of Fame. 

After retiring from the NFL, Williams joined the World League of American Football as the Vice President/General Manager of the New York/New Jersey Knights. He later rejoined the NFL, where he conceived and opened the NFL’s first Youth Education Town (YET) in Los Angeles. 

Williams was hired as director of sports development for Disney on April 19, 1993. In the mid-1990s, he oversaw the creation of Disney’s Wide World of Sports Complex, a state-of-the-art 220-acre (0.89 km2) multi-sport facility that opened on March 28, 1997, and hosts more than 180 athletic events annually in some 30 sports. By 1998, he had become Vice President of Disney Sports Attractions, where he oversaw a newly created sports and recreation division that merged Walt Disney World Resort Recreation, Water Parks, and Disney Sports Attractions. The latter included Disney’s Wide World of Sports Complex, the Walt Disney World Speedway, and Walt Disney World Golf. Williams retired from Disney in November 2007, stepping down to focus on rehabilitating his legs from damage sustained during his playing NFL career.

Interview with Tricia Roos

Tricia Roos is a Dallas wife and mother who built a winning career in sports and high school admissions but found her greatest victory in loss. Against the advice of medical experts, Tricia carried full term a child she was warned would die at birth or before. That season Tricia’s team won every game, the child in her grew, and eventually she held and loved the daughter who wasn’t supposed to live. In six days of a brief and remarkable life, Annabelle Roos rewrote the medical chapter on a chromosomal condition called Trisomy 18—giving life to a story that galvanized a large high school, a big city, readers of When Wishes Change, and audiences nationally. 

When Wishes Change is about how her wish for a healthy baby girl changed into something more beautiful than she could have ever dreamed. 

More than that, the lesson of allowing your wishes to change transcends the loss of a child. We can all learn that through change, we can love deeper, go further, and grow more than we can ever imagine for ourselves.

Tricia has a deep passion for sharing her story with others as well as sharing her knowledge of branding, marketing and educational consulting with others.

Authors: Tami Matheny and Lindsey Hall

The lowest point on earth is called Challenger Deep. The beautiful thing about being at your lowest point is there is nowhere to go but up. In these moments of adversity, we must stop and look up and focus on the little bit of light that’s peaking through. In some instances, you may not be able to see any sort of light, but the belief that you soon will, will be your salvation during these times. Challenger deep is the best place to begin to build your new foundation, to start to build a ladder to reach the light you see or soon will see.

Interview with Jon Torine
From Momouth County, NJ Jon always loved sports. But what he found was he loved the strength and conditioning aspect of the sport more. It was at Springfield College where a baseball coach got him in touch with a strength coach in the NFL.
Jon got an internship with the Buffalo Bills and eventually a full-time job.
First the Buffalo Bills, then the head strength and conditioning coach with the Indianapolis Colts.
Jon Torine spent most of his career in the NFL, first as a strength and conditioning coach for 17 years and then working with the NFL Players Trust Program to help former players transition to the next phase of their careers.

After the NFL Jon went out to tackle youth sports. Sports should be fun for children, not stressful. As Jon worked to educate and inform the town around the physical and emotional pitfalls of sports specialization, he soon found another way to pursue his passion.

Now Jon is an owner of i9 Sports, a franchise which focuses on fun for the kids and convenience for the parents.
Its mission is to help kids succeed in life though sports
