BE THE BETTER MAN
FLAG FOOTBALL TOURNAMENT
TACKLING MEN'S HEALTH
He played basketball and baseball for twelve years, served as the co-captain for each and is currently one of the best fitness trainers in New York City with five years of training clients between the ages of 10 and 75 years old. It's clear as day that Barrington is not just any athlete, but one accustomed to winning.
Discipline and dedication has proved successful for the young entrepeneur. Barrington doesn't subscribe to the idea that there's a formula for success but rather, there has to be a relentless hunger for it.
"MJ missed shots. Ali got knocked out. Rice dropped passes. Hank Aaron struck out. No one said you have to be perfect. They just said you always have to strive to #BETHEBETTER. The key to winning is realistic consistency."
Being a coach isn't foreign to the former athlete. Tassika was a competitive cheearleader for Cardinal Spellman High School and captain of her varsity team. Combining her love of sports and philanthropy, Tassika readily welcomes the challenge.
"It's easy to look at the game and think that being a woman would make me the underdog but I have six brothers so I thrive in competition. Muscles and speed don't intimidate me, especially when it comes to football. It's an intelligent game and I'm a smart girl, besides I have a mean spiral."
Enthusiastic about her team's performance, Tassika is looking forward to great sportmanship and the beginning of a new tradition.
Based in New York City, Barrington is a fitness trainer and T Lloyd is a writer but in addition to their noble professions, both are hosts and event planners of exceptional abilities. This year, they led a variety of health conscious events raising thousands of dollars toward cancer research and support. T Lloyd created the 1st Annual Kisses for Cancer Gala this summer, highlighting nearly fifteen different types of the disease. In the fall, Barrington hosted a private fundraiser for Breast Cancer. And to round out the year, T Lloyd joined his phenomenal #BeTheBetter team, to support the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk. Combining their initiatives, expertise and passion for philanthropy, the two entrepeneurs have teamed up to bring you the #BeTheBetterMan campaign for 2014.
