The Power of Creative Persuasion

Today is January 20, 2011, and as I sit in my apartment reflecting on my day, I realize that my desire and will to win has taken me places that I, and many others, never imagined I'd be. I believe my drive is a reflection of who I am as a person and others see it too.

When you look at me, you see those qualities emanating from me, like a bright yellow shirt with the words "I Believe" on the chest and "You Should Too" on the back. I believe that when you are passionate about what you do and want, others are persuaded to assist you in accomplishing your goals. And maybe, just maybe, be encouraged to seek and accomplish their own goals.

Anything, I mean anything is possible.-PeppNation

ACADEMIC TIPS FOR STUDENT ATHLETES

As a student athlete, I remember doing very well on the field and getting my test back in the from my teachers and not having the same feeling of success. In high school, this can be difficult and can play a large role in you being eligible for a scholarship. Here are some helpful tips that I used to make sure I got the grades and scholarship I deserved.

Hey as always I have an open door policy, so if you have any questions about football and or academics. Send me a message @ twitter @culpeppernfl, or contact me on facebook @Brandon Culpepper.

PeppNation: NFL Campaign Goes Social in 2011

It is January 10th, 2011, and Peppnation has been active for 10 days. Can you believe it? I sure can. We've been working very hard to make sure our message(created by my social media team and I) is heard across the world. "It's all football, all Pepp, all the time!"

Many have sent in videos and we are greatly appreciative of that. It's 2011 and we are a mission to do what we want to do-play in the NFL. I used to say "do what you have to do so you can do what you want to do." It was a phrase that I heard Denzel Washington say a couple of years ago. Now, I just say, "do what you want to do."

There's no limit to what is or isn't possible. This is what I hope people who come into contact with my words, video and story take away. I do not want people to know that Brandon Culpepper, or rather "we" are going to play in the NFL (if you are a part of the team then you're a part of the journey), butpthat anything is possible when you put your mind to it. Put your pedal to the metal, and don't look back. I am hoping that my pursuit to accomplishing my dreams will encourage others to do the same.

Example: Ted Williams, the man with the golden voice who was homeless for 2 1/2 years. He became a YouTube sensation overnight and is now a new voice for the Cleveland Cavaliers. You can't tell me that God isn't good, and that miracles don't happen because they do every second of our lives. Are you ready for your miracle? Having fun? Living Life? Doing what you want to do? If not, ask yourself why, and while contemplating this question, go on over to Facebook and join the team! I am certain that the energy over there will put a fire under you to start to prepare for your "miracle, moment of luck or whatever you choose to call it." As they say, Luck is when Preparation meets Opportunity.

Also make sure when you join, tell us about your favorite football news and your hopes and dreams for this year. Let PeppNation know what you would like to get paid to do. You never know who may be reading your post! Sometimes all it takes is for you to speak your miracle to get it working in your life.
