Running Between The Raindrops

Startling Results From A 50 Year Longitudinal Study

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.

About the Author

Gregory Perry was born in Harlem and lived there until the family moved to the Bronx in the early 60s. Greg attended schools throughout New York City. He began his education at the Modern School, whose principal was Mildred Johnson, niece of James Weldon Johnson. After graduating from DeWitt Clinton High School, Greg attended and graduated from City College of New York, where he received a Bachelor of Science and a Master’s Degree in Health. After graduation, he started teaching at Medgar Evers College in Brooklyn. This teaching and administrative exercise continued for more than four decades as Greg worked within the CUNY system, either as a coach, Administrative Adjunct, or Adjunct Professor of Health. Besides Medgar Evers College, he has taught or coached at City College of New York, Borough of Manhattan Community College, Bronx Community College, and Bergen Community College in New Jersey. Prior to his recent retirement, Greg held a full-time professorial position in the Health Department at BMCC.

Greg owns and operates an awards business, Crown Trophy (The Feel Good Business), founded in the Westchester Square section of the Bronx in 1989. He provides customers with trophies, plaques, crystal, medals, banners, laminations, and certificates. Crown Trophy is part of a “BID” Business Improvement District, and Greg serves on the BID Board of Directors. He’s also former President of the Westchester Square Merchants Association.

Greg started coaching track and field back in 1967 at the West Side YMCA as part of a longitudinal study focused on the parallels between academics and athletics. With support from the YMCA leadership, he developed a research and field operations unit to explore the impact of experiential education through travel and competitive competition. The program investigated the effect of mental dynamics on peak performance (both on the track and in the classroom) and desired career goals. Greg followed his athletes’ progress for more than five decades, and the results are impressive.
