I’m betting on me.
WHAT’S THE GAME PLAN?
13 Reminders for Anyone Chasing a Dream
i wouldn’t say I been feeling stuck lately, i’d call it more of a glitch. and when I find myself in moments like this, I look back at some of the notes I wrote for myself in the past.
it’s almost like old me knows that one day future me will need certain words.
so I put together 13 reminders that I look back on to help when I need to get out of my own head and keep going.
if you’ve been feeling stuck (glitching), doubting yourself, or wondering if your dream is still worth chasing (btw, it is),
I hope there’s something in here that you need to hear today.
13 Reminders for Anyone Chasing a Dream ⬇️
stop scaring yourself out of your dreams. you know what I mean by this. don’t let fear talk you out of something you once believed was possible. there was (and still is) a version of you who believed in this dream before the doubts, comparisons, and expectations got in the way.
not sure who said this but, “the day you plant the seed is not the day you eat the fruit”, is always a good reminder to stay patient for the results.
more motion, more magic. no motion, no magic. READ that again.
love yourself enough to keep showing up. ESPECIALLY on the days you don’t want to.
you know what’s a beautiful blessing? waking up and being able to work on your vision again. cause to me, that’s like God saying, “Go get it again”.
if they don’t see the vision, it’s not for them. find who it’s for.
surround yourself with dreamers, just like you.
people quit too soon. a lot of people don’t reach their dreams because sometimes they quit right before the come up. they go 5 or 10 years without any results. okay, I know, 5 to 10 years with no results might sound crazy to some people. but how do you know that in year 11 everything you been working for won’t come true? don’t quit before the magic happens.
as long as you’re trying to do better, better is going to come.
there’s no secret. it really is just put your head down and work. double down on what’s working. take out what isn’t.
the beauty of reaching your dreams isn’t the dream itself. it’s realizing you went through hell and back, gave it your all, and didn’t give up on yourself. that’s the beauty of a dream come true.
keep going. you know why? cause one day you’re going to look back and smile like, “DAMN, I really figured this out”.
all you need is one person to believe in you…and that person is yourself.
That’s it. That’s the game plan.
Remember, 1% better every day, and small wins are WINS!
WHAT’S GOING ON AT BALL CLUB?
It’s been some time since we dropped a newsletter, so I wanted to share some things we’ve been up to since we’ve been gone.
we might not have dropped newsletters, but we’re working!
1) We dropped our second vintage collection.
We printed “No Motion, No Magic” on vintage 90s No Fear gear. These are all 1 of 1. There are still a few left on the site!
Most of the tees were available at our pop up, which leads me to the second thing.
2) We did our first small pop up event at Beni Coffee Shop in Union City, New Jersey. Very grateful for the Beni team for allowing us to be there and grateful for those who took the time to show up. Your support means more than you’ll ever know.
If you live in Jersey, you need to check it out!
3) We did a photo shoot for our next drop in Medellin, Colombia.
The next No Motion, No Magic drop will feature shorts, tees and a new trucker!
More pictures to come but here’s a sneak peek of the new color dropping:
4) We dropped a new graphic tee (Believe in Your Magic)
This design was inspired by OG Anunoby’s iconic tip-in during Game 4 of the NBA Finals. Long story short, we worked with Johan for our first photo shoot in Medellín in 2025, and we got the chance to work with him again this year. He’s the model you see in the picture above, but he’s also an amazing artist. So we asked him to bring our idea to life, and he created the design you see on this shirt.
