I think that more often than not, when we search for answers to lifes little mysteries, we are looking in the wrong places. We seek insight from famous people, television shows, or radio personalities. Dont get me wrong; there are inspirational bursts from all these places. People rise from poverty, personal tragedy, or disabilities to achieve great success, and all of a sudden, their stardom makes us pay attention. Were they not the same people before they were famous? My point is that we are surrounded by these people every day, and for some reason, we dont see them.
The fact of the matter is, just about everything that I have built my life on was so graciously given to me by people youve never heard of, and I would venture to say you never will. We are so consumed with what we are fed on social and mainstream media, we fail to realize we are walking in fields of gold every day surrounded by nuggets of life that can sustain you for all your days. All you have to do is pay attention, and the blueprint is there to follow. What am I talking about? I am talking about servants! They will teach you all you need to know, and there will be plenty leftover to teach others.

Tim Fanning has been in education for almost 20 years. In 13 years as a Head Baseball Coach he has won 7 State Championships and as an Athletic Director amassed 25 State Championships in six different sports. During this time he has coached numerous All-Americans, had nationally ranked teams and sent 61 of his former players on to play at the collegiate or professional level. He has received Coach of the Year honors from three different publications multiple times and was awarded the Community Service in Baseball award by the American Baseball Coaches Association and Turface Athletics. Coach Fanning is also the President of “More Than A Game”, a non-profit organization that uses baseball to serve others domestically and around the world through field construction, clinics, equipment donations and service projects. He was raised by a single mother in Columbus, GA where she instilled in him at a young age, that a life worth living starts by serving something bigger than yourself. With that strength of encouragement from home, he overcame impoverished circumstances, physical and mental abuse outside the home to finish near the top of his class in high school, then go on to play college and professional baseball and receive his Master’s Degree in Sports and Fitness Management. He has traveled all over the world in hopes of inspiring young and old to put others ahead of themselves and to know that by doing this, their lives will have a greater purpose and in turn will empower others far more than they could have ever imagined. Tim Fanning currently resides in Smiths Station, Alabama and is surrounded by his loving wife Renee and his two beautiful daughters, Brianna and Macie.
