“Failure is what teaches me things. I look at failure not as negative. I learn a lot from failure. Successes are sometimes taken for granted. If failure is going to keep you down, I think you did fail. But for me, if I can continue to learn from that, it’s a great thing. I almost love to fail because I know where I can get better. Hopefully those failures will add to successes.”

Tom is the REAL DEAL!”
“The best coaches don’t try to prove their physical talent, rather they focus on improving yours. Tom Morris is one of the best. The journey to this point almost killed him. If you are feeling pity for Tom, stop. He doesn’t and nor should we. Tom and his wife Christa focused on relentless forward motion. Instead of being in charge of his body, Tom has learned that his body determines his daily routine. It is humbling and frustrating. And as athletes there is a lesson in there for all of us. And Tom teaches us daily.”
“He inspires confidence. He inspires affection”
““I don’t think there’s anyone that’s ever been around Tom that isn’t better for it.””

MY PROMISE
This entire life of mine has been preparing me for something like this…The ability to have this opportunity to share my story and passion for life. To have an idea of how to make the body and mind work and how to bring them back from such a catastrophic injury, I'm really fortunate. All these things play a major factor in making sure I get the most out of my life and to inspire others to find there passion regardless of obstacle and circumstance.

About Me
For a large part of my life, I took for granted what a healthy strong body and mind plays into your everyday life. Growing up as an athlete and being surrounded by sport led me to living a physically active and competitive lifestyle. I have raced in numerous cycling races, 12/24/36/72-hour adventure races, and triathlons of all distances. My motivation was not only pushing athletes to their highest physical and mental potential but pushing myself as well. After suffering a spinal cord injury in May of 2012, I went from being on top of the world both mentally and physically to being what I refer to as “Zeroed Out”. I went from racing some of the toughest races on earth to not being able to push a wheel chair more than 5 ft. This life changing event made me realize how fortunate we are to wake up each and every day. To have the ability to live life without barriers. To have the option to achieve any goal that we want. I work to encourage everyone to take advantage of every second. Don’t set goals that will start in a week. Start right now! It’s your time to make today better then yesterday. And hopefully if you’re fortunate enough to have tomorrow you make that day better than the last. If you live by this rule and just get a little better each and every day the possibilities are endless of what you can achieve. One of my biggest passions in life is to help others achieve their own goals. I use my energy and passion for life as well as my own personal story with the hope that it can to show others that anything in life is attainable, if you just start, and never ever give up.
