Yogi Roth Yogi Roth adventure-preneur. athlete. peaceful competitor.

Yogi Roth is an athlete, coach, sports analyst for ESPN and Fox, bestselling author, dreamer, speaker, actor, producer, and director. He founded Winforever, a brand built to inspire others to compete for life. [www.yogiroth.com]

We get to paint whatever life we want onto a blank canvas. It’s really important to me to live that way, recognizing everything I do as my choice. I take full responsibility for that and for maximizing the potential within it. When I’m doing that, I’m having a pretty good day.

When I’m living every moment to its fullest, I’m expecting something good to happen next, I’m seeking out the good in others, and I’m projecting the good in myself. I deal with the highs and the lows when they come.

If I’m having a tough day, one of the things I do is recognize that I’m having a tough day. I’d better recognize it, because when I do, I’m dealing with it and not burying it. I ask myself, Okay, what’s the problem? By asking that, I get to deal with the problem and change it. I also remember how fortunate I am. I realize how good I have it, how good we have it here in America, where, as my parents said, “You can do anything you want.”

When someone’s not living a meaningful life, it’s usually because they’re in transition. My challenge when helping someone is to find out what their simple, childlike fascinations are. I find it helps to ask, “What lights you up every day?” There’s usually a theme. Within that theme, what are the core beliefs? Honesty? Trustworthiness? Empowering people? I ask people to write down 50 things they want to do, and then start creating the life they want.

I’ve been playing around with a fun word lately: adventure-preneur. Being an adventure-preneur is like being a mapmaker. It’s a way of pushing boundaries. I’m going to live my life without limits. I’m going to go for it. I’m going to put my best foot forward. And try to do it all while at peace. Then I don’t worry about externals. If you ask me what my philosophy is, I’ll say, “I’m a dreamer, I’m curious, and I compete at an uncommon level while at peace.”

Don’t take yourself too seriously. Focus on being resilient and optimistic. Focus on what you can control. You make decisions, so be responsible for them. Make great decisions, decisions you fully want.

Yogi Roth
