Summary
My name is Justin Blue. I am a 28 year old Husband, father, preacher, teacher, and coach who is passionate about getting better daily. I believe that we all have a purpose for being on this Earth and I believe that my purpose is to motivate and help others reach their greatest potential in all aspects of life. From spiritually to athletically, I believe that there is a correlation to how we approach all of these things with a balance of determination, discipline, and faith that leads to a very satisfying outcome. My goal is to make sure that every environment, person, and team that comes in contact with me is made better by the time that they leave.
