Matt Mayberry, Former Chicago Bears linebacker will release his story in a Center Street published book on September 6, 2016.
Mayberry struggled with addiction in high school, with loving and supportive parents he got out of that pit. He set a goal to obtain a Division I football scholarship and achieved that result by earning a scholarship and playing for Indiana University. He then set a goal to play in the NFL, ultimately desiring to play for the Chicago Bears. While his path was not normal, he achieved the result. Then the unthinkable happened. How did Mayberry dig out? You will have to get the book to discover how and who helped perfect the Mayberry story.
One of the key people was his Coach at Indiana University, Coach Hep and the motto that Mayberry still carries today, “Get Better Today” .
A couple of great takeaways.
Celebrate every day – There is power in celebrating everything – especially the small daily wins. Mayberry suggests that one good way to get in the habit is by recording your small daily wins in a journal.
Make yourself a trigger card. It’s called a trigger card (index note card) because one glance at this note card should have you fired up and ready to take things to the next level. It consists of writing your your two most important goals on a note card. On the flip side of the card, pick two or three quotes that really move and inspire you. Whenever you are feeling unmotivated or down on your luck, pull your trigger card out and read it through a few times.
