If you ran five miles, lifted weights, and practiced your sport for three hours today, would you REALLY wake up tomorrow morning a better athlete?

Not really.

Here’s what WILL help you become a better athlete almost instantly…

Have the same attitude as a great athlete.

Give the same effort as a great athlete.

I am sitting here in my office, just a few miles from downtown Princeton, where Albert Einstein used to call home. I often drive by his house and think about his philosophy and work. Here is my Einstein quote of the day:

I must be willing to give up what I am in order to become what I will be.

Do you want to be comfortable, or do you want to be great?

Be comfortable being uncomfortable.

/0 Comments/in /by

I once took an improv class with Jill Whelan, aka, Vicki Stubing from the Love Boat television series. It was a blast, and so much sports psychology in it. Here are some quotes from class…

“Don’t be afraid to fail.”

“Don’t doubt yourself, stay in the moment.”

“You create energy. What you give you get (teamwork).”

Can you relate the above quotes to your sport, academics or job?

Absolutely!
