Just a gem I came across and I still add little lines now and again. I had been working on a little article, but the following is a rough draft of it. It comes under many titles, but I like hard work. As simple as it may sound, the ability to train hard is almost unfathomable to most young trainees. As a high school football coach, I dealt with a lot of injuries.
Football is a series of collisions and people get hurt.
The ability to play hurt is one of qualities that separates the good players from the poor players. Looks like Tarzan, plays like Jane. Sexist, yes, but every coach has stories about the number of athletes who look great in the uniform yet you would be liable for manslaughter if you let them in a game. Injuries happen to the good players, too. As a teacher, I also asked them to write a one-page overview of what they watched all week.
