Championship Habits and Workout Periodization (Not Boring)

"You own your paycheck." - Kevin Eastman

Your paycheck is the sum of your minutes, role, and recognition. Coaches don't decide who plays. Players do. 

Have a winning mindset. 

"Champions do extra." - James Kerr, Legacy

"Repetitions make reputations." - Kevin Eastman

Here's a list from Alistair McCaw's "Habits That Make a Champion." Take ownership of your success. 

Lagniappe. Heavier stuff. Periodization has become the trend among elite programs, especially at the professional level. 

I advise watching in two sessions, the first about nine minutes. The author describes theory and practice, with minimal requirements of exercise physiology. 

The second half delves into more specifics. You're not going to have the maximum power equipment at home. Focus on what you can do, not what you can't. 

Approach theory and practice with the intent to be great. 

The key to having sustainable competitive advantage isn't developing five exceptional athletes from every class. it's developing two or three. Many will say "that's too hard" or "I can't do that." A few will say, "I'll try." but once in awhile, you get the few who say, "I will" and they do. We know who they are when tryouts arrive.
