TimeOut With The SportsDr. Podcast

In this solo episode, Dr. Derrick Burgess is here to share his gratefulness regarding life, sports, and medicine. He will share with us how God has blessed the different areas of his life and how he was consistent from the first day of his journey in this podcast until now.

What are the incredibly unexpected things that have happened in your life?

The thankful heart opens our eyes to a multitude of blessings that continually surround us. There can be no doubt that the God of Almighty has given every one of us something to be thankful for. Though there may be times when other people have more of what we have, we still receive reasons to say "thank you." Despite the hardships we encountered, we fought, stood firm, and thrived.

The annual celebration of the Thanksgiving holiday in the United States is arriving! Thus, we must take this excellent opportunity to take a step back and consider how God has blessed the various facets of our lives. Hence, we must never forget the hands stretched to support us amid our struggling days. Those people who made themselves available to contribute to our growth. Those few who still stand believe we can do something great out of the dreams we keep on chasing. Indeed, we can never know beforehand what wonderful things wait for each of us. Still, we understand that the quickest way to contentment is to be grateful.

"During these times with rising inflation and lumen recession fears, the most affordable thing and gift we can give this holiday season is to give thanks." – Dr. Derrick Bugess

Welcome to the inaugural episode of TimeOUT with the SportsDr Podcast.

I am your host Dr. Derrick Burgess, board certified Orthopedic surgeon and sports medicine specialist. Timeout with the SportsDr is where life, sports and medicine intersect.

Join me in the journey to unlocking the secrets to my success and the recipe of how you too can achieve your dreams despite obstacles that life may present.

When you want good things to happen, you must endeavor for them at any cost.

Many people are afraid to attempt a goal when it presents them with choices where they have to let go of what is currently in hand. The cliche, a bird in hand is worth more than two in a bushel, is easier to accept than taking a blind leap into the unknown. It may seem like there is nothing more significant than this. For instance, it is the dread of not knowing what lies ahead, what's on the finish line, and the terror of starting something different that causes hesitation.

We must understand that sometimes life could require us to take a step forward into some risky places to achieve our ultimate purpose. In some instances that problematic situation appears in front of us to help us to have faith in someone more significant than ourselves and more potent than we can be.

Mr. Kenneth Smith is an author, educator, and entrepreneur. He is a husband, a father, and the CEO of I am possible enterprises. He is known as "Coach Jo-Jo" in the Akron, Ohio, community. He has been a youth life coach promoting healthy mental and physical health for the past 18 years. Using education and athletic experiences, he is inspired to spread the message of infinite possibilities.

In this special episode with Kenneth Smith, we'll learn about the life journey of a man who was able to take a step forward for his life's ultimate goal. He is eager to chase his dreams, follow God's leading, and is now sharing his story worldwide.

"You have to have to go for it. Going for it doesn't necessarily mean quitting a job. It means that you have to sacrifice as you did when you were a former athlete; you had to sacrifice for the team or whatever you did to achieve the ultimate goal. You have to figure out what that is, and then start putting yourself in a position to take advantage of those opportunities." - Mr. Kenneth Smith
