Bradyn Swinson : : APIVEO Player of the Month : : May 2014

May 25, 2014 By Brad Jubin

Congratulations Bradyn and thank you for Always Playing IV Each Other!

Watch Bradyn’s story on CBS Atlanta

Excerpt from the APIVEO Player of the Month award ceremony;

This evening we celebrate Bradyn Swinson because he Always Plays IV Each Other. There is no doubt that Bradyn puts others first; but he doesn’t do it by putting himself second. Bradyn doesn’t simply get out of the way so someone else ends up in front of him. Instead, he rolls up his sleeves and cares for people; he lifts them up and puts them in places they can’t always go on their own.

Bradyn is a student and baseball player at BEST Academy. He is described by his baseball coach as “his brother’s keeper” for his tireless dedication to the needs of his friends and teammates.  While Bradyn personally excels on the field and in the classroom, he steps up and actively helps his friends excel as well. Bradyn is a leader.

Now I would like to introduce the Gwinnett Braves Manager, Brian Snitker, and Gwinnett Brave, Brandon Boogs, to present the APIVEO Player of the Month award for May 2014. -Brad Jubin, APIVEO

Bradyn’s story will be shared on CBS Atlanta on Saturday, May 31st during the evening sports telecast.

Thank you Gwinnett Braves, Zaxby’s, CBS Atlanta, Ronnie Snitker and Jeff McPhail for your enthusiasm and support. You have made a young man feel appreciated and loved. That’s Always Playing IV Each Other!

Sculpt a Child’s Future Today Instead of Chiseling it Tomorrow

January 25, 2014 By Brad Jubin

As a youth coach, I start every season visualizing each player as a piece of clay. Why clay? Clay can be shaped and molded. It can be flat as a pancake or long and skinny like a pencil. It can be rolled into a ball or formed into a square. In fact, clay can become almost any shape you can image. The amazing thing about sculpting clay is there is no waste. No matter what you create, you can use every bit of the clay you have.

Coached by Grace

December 18, 2013 By Brad Jubin

APIVEOcoachPic5Recently, I wrote an article about confidence inspired by a friend’s answer to a question I had asked, “What is the most important thing you learned playing youth sports?” There is no doubt our children learn a great deal through their involvement in sports. While I was impressed by my friend’s stories about his youth sports days, I had no experiences to share or reflect on. Unfortunately, I didn’t have the chance to play any sports until high school, so I was unable to answer this question myself. Fortunately, we never stop learning. I am a volunteer youth coach and coaching kids has been among the most enlightening and enriching times of my life. This led me to ask myself a slightly different question, “What is the single most important thing I have learned coaching youth sports?”

We are grateful for our new friends at ACFB and we are grateful for the chance to share this optimistic message with them. Who are you IV?  Check out all of the “IV” pictures in the APIVEO Gallery IV.

APIVEO® LESSON TEN – Courage

December 7, 2013 By Brad Jubin

APIVEO CJ PitchCourage

Leaders have courage to remain positive in difficult situations.

This lesson will illustrate the value of courage when we experience difficult times. When things are going well we tend to relax and believe that they will continue. During this time our confidence is high and we are open to many opportunities. However, as problems arise and our “luck” begins to change we become cautious. Caution causes us to close down and miss opportunities. Caution can quickly grow into panic as we shut down and try to hang onto what we already have.

What Does Your Leadership Label Say?

November 9, 2013 By Brad Jubin

Christian Jubin 8If what is on the inside is most important, does that mean what’s on the outside doesn’t matter? When it comes to being a leader we need to understand the importance of what is on the outside, as well as the inside. The content of our character is paramount, but what you show people initially can be truly inspirational. This is an important concept about leadership to teach kids; appearance does matter.

Confessions of a Crybaby

TESTIMONIALS

“It's my absolute pleasure to get everyone on board that I can! In the beginning, I was tempted to keep APIVEO as just our team thing. But after seeing the positive impact on our kids, I wanted to make sure every coach I could reach had the opportunity to use the program with their kids. What you've created has helped me to be a real coach and I am grateful for your leadership. As I tell anyone who will listen, I really don't know much about baseball. But I want to use the skills I do have to serve those around me. APIVEO is helping me to do just that!”

Team Manager Auburn Dixie Baseball/Softball Assoc.

“As Principal of our school, I highly and enthusiastically recommend APIVEO as an organization and Mr. Brad Jubin and as an individual who sincerely is "Being The Example." If you want students and adults to see and experience what authentic leadership is all about, give Mr. Jubin a call and find the time to meet with him. As one student told me after Chapel, "Man...Mr. Richards, that guy rocks!" I agreed.”
