Erik WeihenmayerErik Weihenmayer had a goal. To climb Mt. Everest, the highest mountain in the world.
People thought he was crazy and told him so. They told him he couldn’t do it. They told him it was a helpless goal. That he should make other goals. Yes, Eric heard all the Noise.
But his goal was more important than the Noise he heard. So he ignored that noise. Worked hard. Trained hard. Climbed other mountains in preparation. Overcame injuries.
Yes, Eric ignored the noise of the doubters.
But on May 25, 2001 Eric stood at the summit of Mt. Everest. He had done it! He proved the doubters and all their Noise wrong. Some of that Noise even came from those in his climbing party during the ascent. They asked him to turn back when things weren’t going so well for him. (A steep ice flow they faced normally takes 6 hours to climb—it took Eric 13 hours.)
Unfortunately, Eric couldn’t enjoy the view.
Because Eric Weihenmayer is blind.
He is the only blind person to climb Mt. Everest.
Have you ignored the doubters to go after your goals?

My Dad And IMy Dad and I is a company I started representing my son Ricky and myself. My son Ricky was 2009 1st Team All -Ohio Baseball Player. He never had to attend baseball camps, or pay for private instruction like most parents are doing now. My time with Ricky was about sacrifice, empowerment,and bonding as a father and son. I have thrown countless hours of batting practice, working with Strength, Speed & Agility Training, and fielding practice. We have both outworked the competition. He being only 5' 4" and verbally commtting to Bowling Green State University, and myself having "open-heart surgery" at 10 yrs old. I still run sprints with my son, hit and field. I still have my "swagger", and I coach thru him. We're at a time when it's not alot of blacks playing baseball anymore, or the dads are not in the household. I continue to support not in the field , but in the classroom. This is the reason I started "MD&I Baseball Academy. Show dads about making sacrifices, empowering the kid,and building relationships. Thats our company mission statement. That's overcoming adversity,and still living to tell about it!
Currently my son attends Sinclair,and will get his degree soon. He will also tryout for a Pro Independent League.
