April 2026 will take a slightly different approach to the 30-Day Challenge. Each day of the month, I’ll be participating in the 30-Day Tai Chi Coach4aday Challenge. What will be different this time is that my daily posts won’t be limited to that day’s exercises—I want the freedom to share more spontaneous and wide-ranging thoughts along the way.

I will still include the focus of each day’s Tai Chi routine, but much of what I write may explore topics far removed from exercise. Just as Tai Chi is designed to improve flexibility, I hope my writing reflects that same sense of openness and adaptability each day. For Day Two the theme will just be IDENTITY.

“Tai Chi” 30 Day Challenge

Searching online for a 30-Day program brought me face to face with lots of options but I have chosen a plan led by Dr Alan Potts PT. You can download the schedule I am utilizing at this link.

It looks like this.

Challenge Guidelines

  1. View the daily video and mirror what you see.
  2. Complete all 30 daily exercises

April 2nd-Identity

College basketball coaches from across the country are gathering this week in Indianapolis for the Final Four. To many Americans, the “successful” coaches are Danny Hurley, Tommy Lloyd, Dusty May, and Brad Underwood—because their teams achieved the result of advancing in the tournament.

Society and the media often evaluate coaches—and many professionals—based solely on outcomes. The reality is, that same results-driven judgment shows up in many careers. The danger comes when we begin to tie our personal and professional self-worth only to results.

A more powerful foundation for self-worth is identity.

Coaches like Kelvin Sampson, Matt Painter, Rick Barnes, Jon Scheyer, Rick Pitino, and Ben McCollum all share a common identity—they are coaches. Their journey, like ours, is best grounded not just in results, but in who they are and what they consistently strive to be.

Attempting Tai Chi is not about the results it is about changing our identity.

Coach4aday

My purpose in life is to coach. I am a former collegiate basketball coach, director of athletics, and chief of staff. I worked at four NCAA Division I & II universities during my career. At each campus I learned timeless lessons on teamwork and leadership. Today my passion is coaching others on what it takes to lead, serve, and succeed.
