By taking care of the body, we allow our minds the freedom to strategise effectively. No matter what the pursuit that burns inside of you, be it sport or business, always work towards it every day. Give it all you have, as you only have one life. We learn to deal with setbacks and opposition by listening to the voices of those who have walked the path before us. We must never discount the voice of experience, as it can guide us during our darkest moments. We can often approach decisions with a closed mind, or a predetermined outlook, but if we endeavour to drop the filter and view each opportunity as a unique one, we can open our lives up to incredible new possibilities.   BEST MOMENTS   ‘If you want to get good at sales, look at the athletes who play at a very high level' ‘If you're driven, no matter what it is, strive for it' ‘We build a brand so that we're not perceived in a certain way' ‘I wanted to put a smile back on my face and take something for me'   VALUABLE RESOURCES   The Steven Sulley Study   Liam Ridgewell Twitter    ABOUT THE HOST   The Steven Sulley Study is my take on success.

My 'Study' has taken resources from reading and education plus being around, my perception, of successful people and I, know a lot of successful people from all walks of life.   My 'Study' coming from my experiences in business, investing, sales (my core background), training, boxing and education has enabled me to become well rounded and successful and I will help you in these key areas too.   CONTACT METHOD   Instagram See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hey, this is Jason flying solo today with something new for y'all... This is the first edition of the Peach Pit, a new short form podcast talking about the news of the day. It will be "mostly daily" in the afternoons going forward.  Today, I talked about the NASL/USL drama and how it will change the landscape of the lower divisions of U.S. Soccer. What's next? We'll have to wait and see what happens... I also interviewed Rob Usry about our Expansion Draft Wish List piece on DSS and touched on today's news about Jake Gleeson and Liam Ridgewell. Will it affect their Expansion Draft status? Who from the Timbers could be a target for Atlanta United in December?  Thanks for checking this project out! 

Kings of Cascadia, we know who we are. Another Cascadian derby, another six points. Vancouver Whitecaps 2-1 comeback victory over Portland Timbers could be a turning point in the 'Caps season.

The English defender discusses what it was like sitting out for the second leg of the Western Conference Championship, the airport greeting from the Timbers Army, makes a guarantee involving his ‘Ridgy Roll’ celebration and casts his star for the Liam Ridgewell movie.   In the mailbag, the guys discuss the expansion chatter after the Commissioner’s State of the League, Matt Doyle’s magic numbers and renaming Kei Kamara’s man bun.

Simon is back to talk all things New York Red Bulls after a franchise-changing decision to let head coach Mike Petke go. Jesse Marsch is in and the guys think that could work ... but will the fans get on board with the new regime? Plus, could Jozy Altidore be headed to New York? Or maybe Toronto? What about Portland? ESPN's Taylor Twellman gives his thoughts as well and explains why this ETR hit is a little bit different than the rest of them. That might have been the big news, but there was plenty more filling in the rest of the cracks in MLS. The schedule is out, Generation adidas signings have been announced ahead of the Combine, Garth Lagerwey is on the move, Maurice Edu might have sealed a Union deal, Liam Ridgewell is headed to Wigan and Bakary Soumare dropped a Fire bomb on Chicago. In the mailbag, one listener makes his opinion clear when it comes to Frank Lampard's delayed arrival, Gedion Zelalem's "Americaness" is confirmed (as if it needed to be) and the guys wonder if the ScoreBorg actually exists.

...a photo will enrage hard-working people as well as football fans across Britain. West Brom defender Liam Ridgewell, 28, squats over a toilet and wipes his backside with a wad of £20 notes. The Premier League player earns at least £20,000 a week....Ridgewell’s weekly wage is equivalent to the average annual salary in the West Midlands — one of the most deprived areas in the country.  RYANAIR is to slash flights to and from Spain because of sky-high airport taxes — threatening thousands of jobs.  Taxes make up 40 per cent of ticket costs for the bucket airline’s Madrid and Barcelona flights — making routes unprofitable for the largest carrier in Spain.  The cuts — which will save Ryanair £20million — will result in 4,500 jobs going, more than double those forecast by boss Michael O’Leary four months ago.
