"Everyone is necessarily the hero of his life story." - John Barth
Many of you inhabit the formative phases of your story.
The right pitch at the right time. The elite attacker resembles an elite pitcher, using the right pitch at the right time. Craft supplements powerful attacks. Think of vectors which emphasize both direction and velocity. Tips and directed attacks into space or tooling blockers score big.
Success requires leaving your comfort zone. This story illustrates. A little girl watched a woman mogul skier. She told the skier, "I love how you ski. You never fall." The skier realized that she never fell because she skied too conservatively. She revised her technique and became a champion. Gia Vlajkovic and Sadie Jaggers changed positions between their junior and senior seasons and left indelible marks on the program.
Bring it. In Bill Walsh's The Score Takes Care of Itself, he writes, “Winners act like winners before they’re winners…The culture precedes positive results. It doesn’t get tacked on as an afterthought on your way to the victory stand. Champions behave like champions before they’re champions; they have a winning standard of performance before they're winners.”
When you're on the treadmill, the stairmaster, or pushing weights, do the work. Go hard. "Don't put in the time without putting in the work." Get the biggest results from your investment.
