My philosophy is that I create nothing, just help each athlete uncover what is already within. But to do this, we must relax - don’t struggle, just allow, and have fun. Joy is the principle for today.
JOY ~ emotion
The fuel that propels you
Toward your dream's end
The key is to release it
As soon as you begin
We had a new kid arrive from San Ramon today - a wide receiver by the name of Danny. From what I hear, he has fantastic hands, but is very slow, evident by the 5.34 forty-yard dash he ran on his first try. But right off the bat I loved the kid's build and stride. More long and lanky, but stride had no control. He was working against himself as he tried to run hard. I corrected one aspect of his run and he dropped to 5.00 in the forty. I worked with him on his start and then asked him to only work two of the three sections of the race and he dropped to 4.91.
His whole demeanor changed. After his last run he came to me, and before I could tell him his time, he said, “I know I can run a 4.8!” That you will, Danny, that you will.
Sean came out today, but was late, and nervous, I might add. I made him immediately warm up and then run. He was so scared of running a poor time he jetted out of the blocks, even though I asked him to run three-quarter speed. He ran a blazing time and was shocked by his own performance. This kid is golden. The trick will be getting him to KNOW it.
Our athletes were amazing today and all of them ran exceptionally well. We are right on schedule.
