PRACTICE AS IF YOU ARE THE WORST.

COMPETE AS IF YOU ARE THE BEST.

Do yourself a favor and watch this!

ONE PERSON CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE

Regardless of title, bank balance or age, each individual has the ability to be a force for good. One person can make a difference. As Mahatma Gandhi said, “Be the change you want to see in the world.” (From Success Magazine)

Is it good enough to be great at your sport or job?

Or is part of greatness making a difference in the world, being a role model or inspiring others?

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with wanting to be the best in the world, as long as you are being the best FOR the world.

Go all out. Lead by example.

Start today.

I often see athletes get angry after they strike out, or after they miss a shot. This happens all the time, at all levels, from beginner to professional.

But does this help them?

No.

Why would you do something that won’t help you?

What is anger, anyway?

It’s a choice, isn’t it?

Anger is merely your reaction to a certain situation.

Can you control it?

Yes.

Is it easy?

Not necessarily.

But it’s like anything else, with practice, it becomes easier.

So the next time you feel like getting angry, take a deep breath instead, and think about if you want to get angry, or if you want to stay focused and get back on track.

This morning I was listening to a great speaker and coach, Micah Lancaster. He said something I thought was brilliant…

2+2=0

Too negative plus Too lazy equals Nothing.

I like that.

More on Micah coming soon…

Here is something brilliant I read recently…

Average athlete:
Feels good,
plays good.
Feels bad,
plays bad.

Good athlete:
Feels good,
plays good.
Feels bad,
plays good.

Great athlete:
Feels good,
plays great.
Feels bad,
plays great.
