#044: Why the New Year is the Perfect Time for a Reset

The new year carries an energy that I can’t ignore.

It’s a clean slate—a chance to reimagine, rethink, and, most importantly, take action. Whether you’re running a rec league, coaching a team, or building the next great sports business, this is your moment to shift gears and make things happen.

The start of the year isn’t just about resolutions; it’s about reorienting yourself to what matters. Too often, we overcomplicate growth, chasing too many priorities at once.

But at the center of real progress is one simple idea: clarity.

Clarity Over Chaos

Growth doesn’t come from doing more. It comes from knowing what to focus on, what to prioritize, and what to let go of. Without clarity, even the best ideas can stall. You end up spinning your wheels, wondering why your effort isn’t translating into results.

Clarity is the filter through which all your actions should flow. It’s how you separate the noise from the signal. It’s how you figure out which small moves will lead to the biggest outcomes.

That’s why I created something to help you find and act on your own clarity: P30 Sessions.

What Are P30 Sessions?

P30 Sessions are 30-minute strategy calls designed for one purpose: action. If you’re sitting on an idea, stuck on a problem, or unsure of your next move, P30 gives you the space to cut through the noise and create a clear, tactical path forward.

These sessions aren’t about long-winded discussions or backstory. They’re about practical solutions tailored to your goals. No fluff. No detours. Just laser-focused clarity to help you take the next step.

Why 30 Minutes Can Unlock Big Moves

Time is the most valuable resource we have. When you’re deliberate about how you spend it, even small windows of time can unlock big moves. Think of a P30 Session like halftime in a game. You take a quick reset to evaluate what’s working, adjust your strategy, and come out stronger in the second half.

It’s about creating momentum, not perfection. In 30 minutes, you can solve a problem, launch an idea, or gain a fresh perspective that changes the way you approach your business or team.

How to Apply the P30 Mindset Right Now

Here’s the thing: You don’t need a P30 Session to start making progress. You can use the same principle—clarity and focused action—on your own today.

Take 30 minutes and focus on one question: “What’s the one step I can take right now to move closer to where I want to be?”

Write it down. Do the thing. Then repeat.

This isn’t about doing everything at once. It’s about breaking big goals into small, actionable steps. Momentum builds when you focus on one thing at a time, stacking wins along the way.

2025: The Year of Doing What Matters

2025 isn’t about doing more; it’s about doing what matters. It’s about investing your time and energy into the moves that will have the greatest impact—on your team, your business, and yourself.

If that means we cross paths through a P30 Session, great. But more than anything, I hope this post serves as a nudge to lean into clarity, focus, and action this year.

Here’s to a year of momentum, creativity, and wins—on and off the court. Your best year doesn’t come from chasing every shiny opportunity. It comes from doing the right things, with focus, clarity, and intention.

If you’re ready to hit reset and start making moves, I’m here to help.
