The Man, The Boy, & The Donkey - A Parable about Critics
Journal Activity - August 25, 2025

Today’s journal is inspired by a video sent by one of the athletes who subscribes to our FREE2COMPETE journal email. Thank you Taylor for passing this on!
If you have a video, picture, song, or story that you think would be a good journal starting point, please send it to me at [email protected]
Now, let’s be inspired by Taylor’s vision for a journal entry by watching this video (~2 ½ minutes) and then on to your journal for the week!
