For Love of the Game with Sports Author David Smith

 

Our latest episode of Language of the Soul podcast welcomes David Smith, a multifaceted author and speaker, who owns the United Racquet Club. His rich experience provides a unique perspective on the interconnected nature of passion, storytelling, and legacy. David's journey as a storyteller began with his desire to document his father's legacy, inspiring him to encourage others to record their narratives.

Diving into the enchanting world of Disney books, we explore the magic of storytelling and character development. These narratives, like a magical theme park ride, take readers on a historical fiction journey, creating a universal connection with characters and evoking emotions that transcend boundaries. Drawing inspiration from acclaimed books like Mitch Album's "The Five People You Meet in Heaven" and Dan Brown's "The Da Vinci Code," we discuss the spiritual journey these narratives can create for readers. Shifting our focus to sports, we uncover the valuable life lessons it imparts. Goal setting and developing passion are vital components of success in both sports and writing. Drawing on our personal experiences in coaching and writing sports books, we highlight the significance of human connection and lifelong learning. Learning from failures is a stepping stone towards success. The willingness to learn and improve every day is paramount, as is the understanding that nothing should be considered a sacrifice if our goal is sincere and intentional. This mindset extends to the significance of being open-minded, the transformative power of human connection, and the impact we can have on others through our actions and behavior.

The conversation then shifts to the concept of manifestation and its relation to the creative process, sports, and life in general. Accepting one's calling, silencing the voices of doubt, and setting aside societal standards are crucial to the manifestation process. Finding joy and fulfillment in the journey, rather than solely focusing on the end result, can have a profound impact on our achievements and self-belief.

As we reflect on life's challenges and achievements, we underscore the importance of recognizing our own faults and imperfections. The power of perseverance, the importance of focusing on one thing at a time, and the significance of taking small steps towards a goal are essential elements of personal growth and success.

Finally, we delve into the shared legacy of Disney and how it can inspire us to craft our own narratives. The power of individual and collective creativity can shape not just our lives but society at large. This conversation serves as a reminder that life is, in essence, a story, and each one of us has the power to write our unique song. The episode wraps up leaving you with anticipation for more inspiring discussions.

Interview Friday with Lakisha Spletzer

Lakisha Spletzer is a single parent of two highly creative children. She has been writing stories since the tender age of eight. It was always for school or her own amusement; never for others. Lakisha has written fan fics (mostly during high school) and the stories tended to favor such shows as Star Trek, SeaQuest, and Highlander, just to name a few.
