If anyone reached their potential, it was this guy. He was a grind it out kind of guy. http://www.stltoday.com/sports/foot...cle_1c5c2aa7-864c-5262-983b-3b3b0cb8c401.html http://www.mensfitness.com/lifestyle/interview/jerry-rice
Disagree, continual practice with intensity and proper technique until unconscious competence is acquired is the key to athletic performance, the less physically talented the athlete is, the more important such a approach is as their maximum 100% is lower then the gifted athletes, so they always have to be operating in their top 2% range of performance. The worst thing a gifted athlete can be told is their physical gifts mean they do not have to work as hard as the less gifted, that is deadly to a career and to their life imo.
It's not working harder, it's working smarter IMO...After all, seek ye the kingdom of God first, then all else will be added unto you.
Nope, there is no substitute for sweating in practice to excel on gameday, whether gameday is once a week or every day. "whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all of your might" Now, that is not to say working insanely hard makes one reach ones' potential, not at all, the mind is just as much of an athlete's arsenal as their musculature, for example running yet another round of gassers as compared to the same time studying the opponent for weaknesses that will be exploited is a no brainer. Difference between punishing onesself, and making onesself more effective pandaR.
Is that quote from SanduskyHEEYOOOOOOO!!! Yeah, but you decrease the potential for each and every play. Prime example is Marshall Faulk. He had the million mile stare of concentration when he stood on the sidelines. Supreme awareness, call it what you will.
I thought it was the Canuck and the twoney? Anywho, there is room for action in here, mainly do to the fact that athletes' tend to stick with what worked for them, meaning if they listened to one song when they were 12 and scored 3 T'ds, they will stick with that song to put them into State. Now it is totally possible that a different approach would work better, be it Asana's or tupac, or country music.
Yeah, those guys are just unnecessarily distracting themselves. The grind it out mentality is a flagelist system (picture a man whipping himself during the Black Plague). Where the methodology includes torture techniques such as purposely overloading them with information in practice without them knowing. That's just purposefully messing with people.
