4th & Inches helps coaches in all sports manage their purpose through weekly inspirational stories, lessons, and question-and-answer sections that help you reflect and hold you accountable. 4th & Inches tells a story about having a purpose and having the courage and faith to follow it. This book lays out what it’s like to live life where your purpose constantly chases you until you come to a point, step out on faith, and decide to follow that purpose. There have been people in this life whose road finally diverged towards their purpose; but while on their initial journey, they had money and material things, but no peace. They were closer to retirement if they would have stuck to the comfortable process of just living and working towards a status. But no matter how hard they tried, the road towards their purpose pulled them away from being comfortable and closer to their gift. For every minute they stayed on the comfortable path, the more bored and unsatisfied they became until the call to action became so obvious, they had to make a change. 4th & Inches is centered on having a purpose and developing the courage and faith to follow it. There’s nothing greater than managing the gift of purpose that God has given you. This book strives to help you manage what God has planted inside of you so you can carry out the mission for the life you’ve been blessed with. As coaches, changing lives, building team chemistry, and developing winning game plans take time and when it’s your purpose, it can be a 24/7 process that is emotionally draining because of the creative energy that’s put into it. 4th & Inches will pour a spiritual energy back into you.Everyone has a purpose in life, but some may not know early on. Whether or not you’re a late bloomer in discovering your purpose, it’s obvious that having a strong spiritual core is vital in working towards your dreams and maturing your purpose daily. The management of your purpose is what matures and grows the purpose and that’s what 4th & Inches strives to do, help coaches stay successful for a lifetime through managing the gift!
