I’m pumped for the NFL games today… my Predictions!

I love football. I really do. And I love “Wildcard Weekend.”

Is anyone else enjoying some football this weekend?

3 great games yesterday, and there are another 3 good ones slated today. Typically, these games this late in the year come down to 5 important things…

  1. Turnovers. The team with the fewest turnovers usually wins.
  2. Converting points in the Red Zone. TD’s are better than field-goals, but you must come away with points.
  3. Penalties. You must have discipline and some luck (Yes, referees do come into play here.)
  4. 3-5 “big” plays during the game. It’s time for the “big-time players to make big-time plays.”
  5. COACHING. The team with the best coaches have their teams best-prepared mentally & physically and make the necessary adjustments and calls DURING the game to help their players succeed. It’s a huge factor to have a GREAT coach! Yep. All 5 of these are important in any game, let alone in the playoffs. But when the pressure is on, and the loser goes home, the stakes get higher and every play counts.

In yesterday’s games, I picked the Bills, Seahawks, and Bucs.

I was right on the Bills. The Bills are my pick to go to the Super Bowl in the AFC. I’ll just say Coach Sean McDermott was my teammate at William & Mary and is my “little brother” in Kappa Sigma. Bet you never knew I was even in a fraternity back in the day! (Listen to my podcast episode with Coach McDermott just before the season here).

I was wrong on the Seahawks. The Rams went into Seattle’s house and put a whoopin’ on them. The Rams defense is stellar, Cam Akers had a dominant performance rushing for 131 yards, and Jared Goff had a heroic effort coming off the bench after having 3-pins inserted into his thumb on his throwing-hand just 12-days ago.

I was right on the Bucs. The Bucs have Tom Brady. They are dangerous. ‘Nough said.

Today’s game should be exciting as well.

Here are my picks for today:

Browns vs. Steelers

Steelers have another great coach and another fellow teammate & alum from William & Mary in Mike Tomlin. And they have Big Ben. He’s a wise-veteran QB who has been here before.

I do like the Browns, despite them missing their head coach related to Covid-19 issues. I would love to see Baker Mayfield and the city of Cleveland get a playoff win but without their coach and playing at Heinz Field, I think the Brownies come up a tad short, much to my chagrin.

My pick:
Steelers 27
Browns 23

Titans vs. Ravens

The Titans have a blue-collar mentality with a running back that is as tough as they come in Derrick Henry. The Ravens have LaMar Jackson. And he’s scary. The Ravens are a dangerous team in the playoffs, but the Titans line is too good and they are going to win the battle in the trenches. Henry and the Titans are going to beat them up. And kicker Stephen Gostkowski hits a game-winner. Yep.

My pick:
Titans 24
Ravens 21

Bears vs. Saints

The Bears backed their way into the playoffs, and I just don’t see Trubisky leading Da Bears to a win in New Orleans. I really don’t. Drew Brees treats EVERY year like it could be his last but this one really could be. All weapons are a full go. And did I say they are in the Dome. Heck, I have the Who Dat’s going all the way to the Super Bowl.

My pick:
Saints 45
Bears 9 

Haha. I got you with that last one. Hey, I’ve been training Drew for 18-years, and I’m hoping that he can get one more ring. I know he’s going to lay it all on the line like he has been all season playing with 11-cracked ribs and a punctured lung.

All right. Time for me to hunker down and get ready to watch some football.

Create a great day. Remember, “NEVER play prevent-defense and if in doubt—GO DEEP!”

Much love…and lots of FOOTBALL!

Todd

4 More Things…

P.S. #1. Thank you, Drew Brees

Check out this special gift from Drew that I received in the mail on Friday…

Interesting Image

Pumped to Receive a Saints Game-Ball this Week! I was so pumped and honored to receive a game-ball this week from the Saints vs. Tampa Bay Bucs game from Nov 6th. WOW. Little does the general public know how appreciative many of these guys are. Drew epitomizes humility, gratitude, and appreciation, and he’s been this way for as long as I’ve known him. 

P.S. #2. If you are ready to go to “another level” and get some more wins in your business or life, I would love to COACH you as well.

There are 2 options:

1. FIT-PROS. If you are a fitness professional searching for a mentor and coach, I would be honored to work with you in my Todd Durkin Mastermind program. https://todddurkinmastermind.com/

2. NON FIT-PROS. If you are an entrepreneur, leader, executive, or a fitness enthusiast who would like business, life, and health/fitness coaching, my IMPACT COACHING program is designed to offer you an intensive 8-week program to amp-up all areas of your life. https://todddurkin.com/impact-coaching/

P.S. #3. Hey trainers, do you want to join my Mastermind “Inner Circle” Coaching Call this Tuesday at 8 am PST/11 am EST and receive some high-level COACHING?

If so, simply email me at durkin@fitnessquest10.com and I will send you the ZOOM link prior to the call so you can be a personal guest of mine.

I will be covering several different topics/areas on Tuesday in regards to…

  • Business in these COVID crazy times. 3 “Must-Do’s” that every fit-pro MUST be doing and what we MUST be doing this month to get ahead in business.
  • Leadership. How to best lead, communicate and drive your culture right now.
  • Marketing & Branding. I want to share something “BIG” that I’m doing now & will be doing in 2021 that can help you grow your “online” or brick & mortar brand even more.
  • Personal Growth. A few “personal” shares with my tribe.
  • Open Q&A. Many fit-pros are in the same boat right now. A ton of energy is going out. Easy to feel drained and “empty.” I want to speak life into those on the call and open it up to ANY & ALL QUESTIONS from the field.

If you want to be part of this call with my “inner circle,” let me know by emailing me at durkin@fitnessquest10.com by Monday at 5 pm EST/2 pm PST and I’ll get you all the information for Tuesday.

P.S. #4. Who wants to talk NUTRITION?!

Be sure to listen to tomorrow’s podcast episode on NUTRITION. Nutrition is always a hot topic. But with the start of the year, stress at all-time highs, and the desire to maximize one’s health & immunity, you will receive GREAT VALUE in tomorrow’s episode.

 and you will receive “Clean-Cut Nutrition for Good Health” tomorrow!!

Drew Brees

NFL SUPER BOWL XLIV CHAMPION & MVP, 20 NFL SEASONS, 13 PRO BOWL SELECTIONS

Todd has been a huge blessing to our church, ministry, family, and me personally. Not only has he trained me and become a close friend, but he’s spoken at our church many times. If you are looking for someone to deliver some serious IMPACT, Todd will be a blessing to anyone in the room.

Dr. David Jeremiah

Senior Pastor, Shadow Mountain Church & Turning Point Ministries

Working with Todd has been the best decision I have made in my pro career. The energy, focus, mentorship and elite training has brought me to new heights year after year.

Brett Rypien

NFL Quarterback

“Get your mind right!” boomed over the speakers and the session took off like a rocket. After three long years, the Hand & Stone franchise community was gathering for our International Conference in San Antonio, TX. Our community had endured nearly three years of constant change, and we gathered to celebrate- both the rich history of the organization and the bold, new paths we were planning to walk in the future. In that space, Todd Durkin was the perfect choice to keynote our general session. The 800+ attendees were challenged, motivated, and most importantly inspired by TD’s incredibly dynamic session. Equal parts vision and actionable framework, Todd’s talk was one of the highlights of the conference, and our community left with a renewed purpose to become the very best of themselves.

John Teza

President & CEO, Hand and Stone Franchise Corp.

I have known Todd since 2012 when I read his ‘IMPACT Body Plan’ book. I have been to many of his events, read all his books, listen to his podcasts, have hired him multiple times to speak at my company, and I still get coached by him today. To say he’s been a big part of the success of Nassau FG and has also had huge IMPACT on me as a father, husband, and man is an understatement. Todd Durkin is the real-deal. When I say “Iron Sharpens Iron,” TD is one of those people who sharpens me. Let him sharpen you also!

Gus Cheliotis

GENERAL COUNSEL & COO, NASSAU FINANCIAL GROUP

The time that Todd spent with our Leadership Team was focused, intentional, and direct. He inspired us to refine how we lead ourselves and our team of 160 people to ensure we are making the most IMPACT possible in their lives, our clients’ lives, and our community. His energy is unmatched and his ability to connect with individuals is remarkable.

Brian Schultz

Assoc. DBIA, LEED AP, Director of Operations

If you’re looking for a high impact experience for the men of your church that will challenge them at their core and inspire them to be more, then bring in Todd Durkin. His insatiable passion and real-life coaching will connect with the men and move them to live a life of high impact. I would highly recommend you get a ‘Dose of Durkin’!

Jason Cullum

Lead Pastor, Christ’s Church

Todd is one of the elite resources in the country when it relates to helping high-performing CEOs and leaders create even greater impact in their field or life. He is transformative in the manner in which he delivers his narrative in order to connect, engage, and achieve impact at the highest levels. He is one of the great change agents anywhere – helping leaders go from great to excellence. I am proud of his work with my clients, many leaders of publicly traded companies and high-functioning management teams, and with me personally. He is a life coach and leadership master to those who are in sports and business.

Brad Deutser

CEO + President, Deutser, LLC

We brought Todd in for a virtual keynote for our Leadership, Education, Advocacy, and Development Group for Women. It was amazing to see how he not only connected with everyone through the screen, but you could literally feel his energy and passion as if he was living on stage with us. He not only inspired us and reminded us of the grit needed to “Get your mind right,” but also gave us actionable habits and homework to be the best version of ourselves. Todd gave us an outstanding presentation and truly inspires greatness every day!

Susan Couch

SVP Business Banking Client Manager, Bank of America

We invited Todd to have an impact on our sales and account management teams – to inspire them to think about personal health and well-being and to do so on an intellectual, emotional, and spiritual level. His presentation translated to lasting behavior change amongst our associates. From the moment Todd began his presentation, the teams were transfixed by his genuine energy and powerful, impactful messages about personal growth and accountability to the organization. Although Todd has trained many famous athletes, I highly encourage company leaders to understand that his messages are applicable to everyone in all industries. When you invite Todd to be a part of your life, your organization, you better be careful – he will make you better.

I attended the Todd Durkin Mastermind retreat in White Fish, Montana, because I know that to be a successful fitness professional and entrepreneur, I need to stay lit up and energized. Members of the TD Mastermind are passionate and elite at what they do because they put in the work and help others along the way. The TD Mastermind is a place to feel supported, cared about, seen, and inspired to do more for others. We are all on a mission, and we can’t do it alone. The members, coaches, and of course, Todd inspire me to be better and to do more. With the help of the TD Mastermind, I will go back to my community inspired and equipped with tools that needed sharpening. Montana was glorious, but this trip was all about the people.

Kelly Spraragen Young

TD Mastermind Member

I attended the Todd Durkin Mastermind retreat in Whitefish, MT, and have been an Institute level member since 2019. As a younger fitness professional with 8 years in the industry, joining the Mastermind has been a Godsend for my personal, professional, and spiritual growth. The Todd Durkin Mastermind consists of some of the best and consummate fitness professionals/business owners around the world, but most importantly, a goldmine of good, genuine people. Our visions, careers, service to others, and legacies require us to go deep into who we are and what we do as professionals. However, it’s the high-level coaching, support of fellow members, and commitment to sharpening each other that take us to different levels. Iron sharpens Iron.

Tim Carter

TD Mastermind Member

Joining the Todd Durkin Mastermind has been one of the best decisions, both professionally and personally I’ve ever made. To be part of a community with heart-centered leaders, who truly want the best for each other, has positively spilled into all areas of my life. The coaching from each leader and member of the TD Mastermind is world-class, genuine, and personal and has helped me grow and lead my team. I’ve had a safe community to come with any struggle, hardship, or big decision that felt overwhelming to navigate alone. We give so much of our hearts and souls in this industry, it’s important to have a place to fill back up with. Coming together at retreats gives you all the octane and more to keep chasing dreams and changing lives. Investing in the mastermind and being part of this community has proved beyond my expectations in every way. If you want to be part of a team who sees your strength, pushes you to greatness, and is there to catch you when you fall – the TD Mastermind is where it’s at!

The Todd Durkin Mastermind is my extended fitness family. Each time we gather, we seem to grow even closer as time continues to change us and our businesses. It just feels right. It is not always about crunching numbers, the number of new sign-ups, or how many programs we have running. It runs much deeper. As we grow older relationships and time become more valuable. You have only so many more clicks of the clock and encounters and experiences. They should be spent with those who elevate you. The TD Mastermind does just that!
