Intro

I'm Brandon Sneed. I wrote the book The Edge of Legend, I'm a journalist for GQ, ESPN The Magazine, and ESPN.com, and I edit HeyGoodCall.com

I live for great stories—finding them, telling them, living them. This is a running log of all that. It's a great life. (Read this, my short take on why stories are all that matter.)

How Bad Do You Want It? 

Watch the video below. 

What the narrator says and how the football player works—it all applies in whatever you want out of life. Athlete. Journalist. Writer. Filmmaker. Poet. Businessman. Financial Advisor. On and on and on. Somehow, these concepts apply. And because I love you, I've transcribed the words below in case you're at a job where they lock out YouTube videos. Those commies.

People ask me, more and more lately, Brandon, how are you already writing for these big magazines? How do you already have a book published? How do you do this and that? 

First: I don't consider myself successful. I have had success, and so I'm on track to be successful, but I'm so far from where I want to be. Some people shoot for the moon so they can maybe land in the stars or however that cliche goes. I'm shooting for Pluto. 

Two: I hate writing about myself, but if I could try to find a way to illustrate what I feel inside about what I want out of life, to illustrate the goals I have and how I feel as I try to make them happen—this comes close. 

Shoutout to my brother Kramer, the 6-4 stud lefthanded pitcher who got drafted by the Yankees and who just started his second minor league season. He shared this on Facebook yesterday with the caption "This just got me hypeddd." All three d's were totally warranted. Also, I'm pretty sure this was popular like six months ago, but hey, it still works.

Tim Tebow, Christianity, And True Faith

 

Took on Tebowmania today over at HGC. Thoughts on the guy's crazy success, God, and how it's all sort of related while not being related at all. Or something. Anyway, check it out here
