MESSAGE #1096 LESS EFFORT
The way to run faster is with four-fifths effort. Just take it nice and easy.
-BUD WINTERS
If I had a dollar for every time I saw an athlete try to perform by tightening every muscle in their body, I could retire. Most people think that they need to be tight to succeed. This is false.
It is a bad sign when I see the veins in athletes’ arms, or their faces turning red.
People perform at their best when they are loose and “just doing it.”
When you constrict your muscles, you cannot swing freely.
Instead, use only the muscles you need and trust your swing/stroke/shot. This will help you throw faster, hit farther, run faster and get the results you are looking for.
Everyone says, “Less is more.”
Why?
Because it’s true.
