We just completed our fourth week of Up! It's been a learning experience for all of the players. Coach Pohlmann shared with the squad tonight that a Titan must not be out-hustled or out-muscled! With that said I want to add my two cents. Passion is at the heart of reaching these performance goals:
Passion provides the motivation and drive to stay the course when things are not going well.
Everyone wants to finish first, but it is the person who understands how to compete, has a fire in his belly, never apologizes for his passion and is willing to take intelligent risks that provides the best chance for success.
For most competitors, their passions are formed at an early age from the sheer joy they experienced from playing the game.
Passion can be seen in the daily, mundane work of every great competitor!
