At GDPerform, we don’t just train to compete—we train to live differently. We pursue a higher standard that goes against the cultural current, anchored in truth, discipline, and the grace of God. These core mentalities guide how we live, train, and lead:

​

1. Under Grace

   • We train from acceptance, not for acceptance. Our identity and worth are rooted in God’s grace—not performance.

     • 📖 “For sin will have no dominion over you, since you are not under law but under grace.” – Romans 6:14

     • 📖 “For from His fullness we have all received, grace upon grace.” – John 1:16

2. Sow Wisely

   • Every rep, every word, every decision is a seed. We sow with purpose—knowing we will reap in due time.

     • 📖 “Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap.” – Galatians 6:7

     • 📖 “The plans of the diligent lead to profit as surely as haste leads to poverty.” – Proverbs 21:5

3. Character > Competency

   • Who we are matters more than what we can do. Talent may open doors, but character keeps you there.

     • 📖 “Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.” – 1 Samuel 16:7

     • 📖 “Better is a poor man who walks in his integrity than a rich man who is crooked in his ways.” – Proverbs 28:6

4. Heart Work

   • Transformation starts in the heart. We train the inner life as much as the outer performance. We work hard with all our heart, not for man's approval, but in service to the Lord.

     • 📖 “Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men.” – Colossians 3:23

     • 📖 “Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.” – Proverbs 4:23

     • 📖 “Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.” – Psalm 51:10

5. Pain of Discipline > Pain of Regret

   • We choose the temporary pain of discipline today to avoid the lasting pain of missed potential tomorrow.

     • 📖 “No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace…” – Hebrews 12:11

     • 📖 “A slack hand causes poverty, but the hand of the diligent makes rich.” – Proverbs 10:4

6. Iron Sharpens Iron

   • We grow through challenge, feedback, and shared pursuit of greatness.

     • 📖 “As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.” – Proverbs 27:17

     • 📖 “Let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works.” – Hebrews 10:24

7. Hit Your Pitch

   • We stay in our lane and execute with excellence. We don’t swing at distractions—we wait on God’s pitch and trust His timing. We aim to do what we are supposed to do, when we are supposed to do it, how we are supposed to do it.

     • 📖 “Let your eyes look directly forward, and your gaze be straight before you.” – Proverbs 4:25

     • 📖 “For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven.” – Ecclesiastes 3:1
