In “FOCUS”, Rodney shares that a failure to FOCUS can derail you from reaching your goals. FOCUS brings clarity, and helps you eliminate non-essentials. FOCUS is essential to achieving ultimate success. If you are going to FOCUS on your goals you must commit to continually PRESS ON, even when faced with tough circumstances, or feel like giving up. A deep commitment to FOCUS will help you FORGET YOUR PAST, and FOCUS FORWARD. There will come a pivotal time, this next year, when you must recommit to FOCUS, or you may miss the opportunity to achieve your dreams and goals. Yesterday can't be changed or repeated. FOCUS FORWARD. A runner can't run full speed looking behind him, and you won't reach your full potential constantly looking behind you. So FOCUS FORWARD and REACH for the PRIZE that God has set for you this year. God has an amazing race for you to run this year, and at the end of it is a heavenly reward. So, run! Run with FOCUS!

In «Focus» erzählt er, wie er es ohne Beine schaffte, die höchste Trainerlizenz im Fussball zu machen und warum uns die Frage «Warum?» nie weiterbringen wird.
