Running Between the Raindrops is a metaphor that expresses how I felt as a young Black child growing up in Harlem (and later the Bronx) facing the inner city’s daily challenges and adversities. I remember continually running home to escape from bullies, drugs, and the horrors of street life. There were also other issues to deal with: the illegal numbers game, poor housing, street gangs, neglectful supermarkets, and disruptive schools. These many problems were a deluge of raindrops I felt would eventually touch or even drench me.
I wanted more out of life than was being offered on the block, and the only way I saw to avoid drowning in the downpour I was facing was to keep Running Between the Raindrops—running towards opportunity; running fast, with power and purpose, toward something better; running outside of the neighborhood to see what else was available, never stopping forward movement in the manifestation of my dreams. And so, I began a constant search for what creates success and a better life.
Greg will teach you what you need to know about achieving peak performance using a formula he discovered and identifies as PD4H. He also discusses three unique distinctions—Thought, Language, and Action—that contribute to success regarding the results individuals want to achieve.
In addition, Greg Perry’s mentorship, at that time and till this day, has been an important influence in my life. Greg was a leader and a father figure when the streets were competing with our families to raise us.
West Side taught us about teamwork, excellence, loyalty, dedication and precision, attributes that have stayed with me and have been essential to my success and happiness as a human being.
During that period of time, West Side track was one of the most formidable collections of athletic, intellectual and creative talent that NYC has ever produced, and it was beautiful.
My relationship with Greg and West Side track is one of the most important and memorable associations in my life.” — Sherman Edmiston
