"It Takes What It Takes"

Next season is far away. "I'll do it later." The term paper isn't due for a couple of weeks. "I'll get to it." 

I've shown this formula before:

ACHIEVEMENT = PERFORMANCE x TIME

Achievement relates to quality of performance multiplied by the time invested. You may have heard Malcolm Gladwell's "10,000 hours" theory about the protracted time needed to train excellence.

Alabama coach Saban discusses the 'illusion of choice'. He often alludes to the difference between investing and spending time. 

There's no guarantee attached to athletic training, box jumps, and weight training. But not training guarantees not progressing. 

Next season comes sooner than you think.
