Transformation...

“Trust me, a career doesn’t begin when you receive a Combine invite any more than it career ends when you don’t. Sometimes, you dance in through the front door, only to get thrown out the back door.

The real question is this: will you have the balls, the backbone—and above all, the faith—to get back up, dust yourself off, and crawl in through a side window? Or will you simply hang your head, walk away, and say you that were cheated?

Life is short. If you get a chance, make the most of it. If you make a mistake, correct it and move on. But no matter what, never stop working, never lose faith, and never forget that what you think has been done ‘to’ you has really been done ‘for’ you.

Stay hungry & Stay ready.”

-JonHalapio, OL, NY Giants

Jon made his first career start on Thanksgiving night, as the New York Giants battled the Washington Redskins, in our nation’s capital!

This the best thing we've read on the internet all day!

To say we're excited for Jon is a massive understatement, but to say the 100 young kids from his USA Football youth camp this summer are turning flips with excitement is...well...spot on!

In exactly 49hrs from now, he'll tee it up with Big Blue!! Go get 'em, Jon.

You've EARNED this!

No Days Off!

It might've been Bill Belichick who famously chanted "No. Days. Off." during the New England Patriots Super Bowl victory parade, but it was former Patriot and current NYGiants OG/C Jon Halapio who took that mantra to heart.

Over the course of the off-season, OTAs, Mini Camps, and pre-season, the big Tongan and Florida Gators Football alum put in the time and put in the work--on the field, in the gym, and with the playbook.

This week, the former 6th Rd Draft Pick--who was selling used cars in St. Petersburg, just 18mo ago--is suiting up for a well-deserved active roster call-up with the New York Football Giants.

Few things in life are easy and virtually nothing is given, but one eternal truth remains free for those who are willing to accept and apply it:

Hard work pays. Period.

Congrats, Jon. See you Sunday!

‪Happy (belated) Birthday to Jon & Sierra Halapio's son, Jeremiah, who turned 1 yesterday!‬

‪When we look at the little big man, there's no doubt:‬

‪1. He's ‬
‪2. He's (probably) hungry‬

We hope it was a great day and the start of a wonderful year!
