~:[CH12 - Day 103]:~ All In
I often try to convey to students and athletes that if you truly want to be successful, you got to put in the effort. It doesn't stop with doing what is required, but taking on extra work and even taking care of the intangibles. The intangibles are definitely key. The pandemic put a little dent in our routine as it became hard to get athletes to focus in on these smaller things such as stretching, sets, rolling out and icing, but little by little, they're getting on board. I am not sure if they truly 100% understand how these smaller things play a role in them reaching their goal, but all I can do is help guide them, remind them and see what comes of it all. In the classroom, it's no different. The students have to decide how much effort they're going to put in. We can make every effort and go above and beyond, but they still have to do the work. In the end, a few mistakes along the way help them learn that shortcuts don't always work and when they put in they truly go all in, they increase their chances of success. This week, I had a pretty good showing for my practices and I hope that means that the final showdown with the league will lead to good results. Only time will tell, but I am glad to see that many of these athletes and many of my students are starting to take that step by going all in.
