Leave it on the Field

You may know that I Coach a Youth Football team for seven years now. Besides absolutely loving the game, my real passion is in teaching the kids the analogous life lessons that practice and that games present to them.

I tell the story to my kids of how long ago when I played youth ball there was a kid on the team named Mikey. And Mikey had all the attributes that I and certainly all the other kids wanted. Mikey had speed, he had agility. And he had future NFL good looks. His face was made for a Football Card.

Well, my coaches (God bless them) taught us that we always had more in us than we were telling ourselves. That even though what we think is our 100% we really are only utilizing maybe 50% or 60% of our mental and physical capabilities.

I took this to heart and by the time high school came around I won way more awards than a kid should get. I even was the Senior Most Athletic . Placing over dudes that were future NBA players and an 11 year NFL and two year Pro Bowl player. That blows me away to even say that.

May I say athletically these guys were given the goods. So I say to my kids, we are all born with our 100%, but what we think is our 100% is actually at around 50%.

We always, always have more. And most of the time if we could even crank it up to our real level. Say even 65%, we will outshine most of humanity.

So there are a ton of struggling folks out there today. Lots of bad news.  But what I am saying here is that it’s only the second quarter. We got a whole ‘nother half to play.

We, you, I have much more that we can give.

Are NFL QBs the Most Accurate Athletes?

Wanna Be Like Mike

“I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.”

Will Smith Wisdom

Focus

“If you want to be a champion, you cannot have any outside negative
influence coming in to affect you. If I get emotionally involved with a
girl, it can have a negative effect on my mind and destroy my workouts.
Therefore I have to cut my emotions off and be cold in a way. Do this
with the rest of things. If someone …steals my car right now, I don’t
care. I can’t be bothered with that. All I can do is call the insurance
agency and they’ll laugh about it. I trained myself for that and not to
let things go into my mind. When my father died, my mother
called me on the phone and said, “Your father died.” This was two
months before a contest. She asked me to come home to the funeral and I
said “No - It’s too late. He is dead and nothing can be done.Sorry I
can’t come home.”

If

Words of Wisdom by English Poet

Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936)

as true and applicable today in the business and corporate field

as when Kipling wrote them

If you can keep your head when all about you

Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,

If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,

But make allowance for their doubting too;

If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,

Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,

Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,

And yet don’t look too good nor talk too wise;

If you can dream and not make dreams your master;

If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;

If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster

And treat those two imposters just the same.

If you can make one heap of all your winnings

And risk it in one turn of pitch-and-toss,

And lose, and start again at your beginnings

And never breathe a word about your loss.

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,

Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch,

If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,

If all men count with you but none too much;

If you can fill the unforgiving minute

With sixty seconds worth of distance run,

Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,

And - which is more - you’ll be a Man my son!

Ever Feel Like Quitting

“The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It’s a very mean and nasty place… and I don´t care how tough you are, it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently, if you let it. You, me or nobody, is gonna hit as hard as life. But ain’t about how hard you hit… It’s about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward… how much you can take, and keep moving forward. That´s how winning is done. Now, if you know what you worth, go out and get what you worth. But you gotta be willing to take the hits. And not pointing fingers saying: You ain´t what you wanna be because of him or her or anybody. Cowards do that and that ain´t you! You´re better than that!” (Rocky Balboa)
