Greetings on this beautiful and sweltering July 9th, in the Northeast.
Thought of the Day: BEND YOUR LEGS!
An old axiom we used to say in Coaching is that the more tired and fatigued you became, you had to bend deeper. Your legs were your power base and often when tired, that extra amount of energy that was required, you had to dig deeper and bend your legs. In sport, when you get tired is traditionally when you lift up. When you rise, you lose your speed, quickness and power. Similar in boxing, when you get tired, your drop your hands and your legs get wobbly, you are in trouble.
Vince Lombardi used to say, "fatigue makes cowards of us all."
When you find yourself on the ropes or trying to close that deal, remember those words, bend a bit deeper to summon up one more ounce of energy and go for it.
I bring this up for this weekend I was playing baseball with my son and when he was batting I told him to bend his legs. He told me, he didn't like to do that because it was harder.
From the Mouth of Babes
A six year old understands that message, but true greatness lies just around the corner when you get that little bit extra momentum, when your tired to push through the temporary pain. Bend Your Legs is a metaphor to tap back into your power base so you can be successful.
Have a great day!
