UPLIFTMENT (SPIRIT)

JANUARY 15, 2021

QUOTE: ‘We must learn to live together as brothers or we will perish together as fools. Peace is not merely a distant goal that we seek, but a means by which we arrive at that goal.” Reverend Martin Luther King

Mission:

The Wayne McClain Pipeline Foundation is a non-for-profit organization aimed at helping underprivileged youth with necessary mentoring, leadership skills, tutorial services, recreational activities, fitness, health and wellness skills in order that they may become lifelong learners and successes for their communities. Our intention is to provide quality and equitable access to our community members at large.

The Wayne McClain Pipeline Foundation’s game plan was founded with four pillars at its core.

Upliftment (Spirit)

up-lift /ˌəpˈlift/:
raise the level of; improve.

spir·it

/ˈspirit/

those qualities regarded as forming the definitive or typical elements in the character of a person, nation, or group or in the thought and attitudes of a particular period.

WAYNE’S WISDOM:

Always put into consideration an individual's environmental circumstances, before your opinions or assumptions cloud a judgment of present facts!

Emotions cake the frosting of peace an individual is served. How bitter or sweet life is, depends on the ingredients of actions that have been stirred up in one's recipe of steps.

It takes a village to raise a child so raise a child in the path of being a resource of respect and honor to the village.

It’s easy for any man to become a Dad, that takes minutes to a second!!! But what makes him become a man in his fatherhood is to follow through in taking on the everyday responsibilities to be seen, heard, and positively mimicked by your seeds regardless of relationship with your child's mother.

Trust God with your journey, pray forward with strong faith that the steps to finding your way are covered by patience, grace, and wisdom.

QUOTE: “Support is a fundamental piece of the foundation that you trust keeps you balanced and confident enough to walk through social jealousy and judgment without catching any reasonable doubt that your presence in this life hasn’t been compromised and that failure actually becomes an option, unless its a lesson to develop characteristics of success.”

INSPIRATION

JANUARY 13, 2021

QUOTE:

God never said the journey comes easy, but he did say that the arrival would be worthwhile and bountiful through the steps of the individual who answers the calling. An individual has to be motivated to want to and know a better life of circumstances for themselves and their circle of family. Its through grace of God you receive that gift through a completed journeyman, and they should be praised in their own time of light, but the fragrance of the Flowers, that HoNor should be given to the vessel that made up his/her mind to go through the obstacles to what it takes to raise the bar of expectations to a whole new horizon!”

- Chickasaw Cherokee

WAYNE’S WISDOM:

“Completing a sermountable task is a feeling you cannot describe! Its like getting one pair of shoes and you want another. Once you taste winning you can never get enough of it, and it’s a great time and era to be competing at the highest level against great players and classy programs.”

“ It takes a tremendous amount of discipline and focus mentally and physically to reach a certain amount of success. You have to ask yourself, are you moving in the right direction to complete those task? It's either yes or no, Plain and Simple!! If it’s no congratulations for being woke and accountable for your actions and you have a choice from that point on…”

“After s elf-evaluation you have two choices, either do better at your goal or come to an understanding that your just not built to respect the passion and sacrifice it takes for you to push yourself to excellence. You must choose a new path, if not, you're just wasting your test of time!”

DEVELOPMENT

JANUARY 12, 2021

“Development is the estuary of life within an athlete’s mental and physical being. The athlete is presented with a curriculum that consistently exercises and challenges the state of mind through repetition. It is where the tide of the spirit meets the individual’s stream line of existing habits that transition into a quality form of action." -Sergio McClain

Upliftment (Spirit)

de-vel-op /dəˈveləp/ :

to bring out the capabilities or possibilities of; bring to a more advanced or effective state.

Wayne McClain always overemphasized the importance of being disciplined in the repetition of basic fundamentals to his coaches and athletes. In his view, development should be implemented in practice every single day. Our elder understood what to look for in the opposition's habits during warmups and exploit their weaknesses during games. He was very clear with his athletes that in the real life employment force, these are the same competitive tactics and principles used.

WAYNE’S WISDOM:

“Everyday you take a day off from your goal there are hundreds of thousands of individuals with that same goal. It is imperative that you build a work ethic that gives you an advantage.”

“Just because you go to the gym everyday, doesn't mean you're going to reach that dream. It's about who works the hardest and works on making weaknesses strong points.”

“If you can look yourself in the mirror at the end of the day daily as a player, employee, parent, coach, and hold yourself accountable as to how well you prepared and executed your goal, you have excelled at the game of self-awareness and self-assessment. Growth and maturity measures how you stand the test of time.”
