Hey guys just a quick tip to all the youngsters out there hoping of making it to the top in their chosen sport, MASTER the basics!!
This can not be stressed enough, you will never reach the top or your full potential without first mastering the fundemental skills of your sport. This means spending hours and hours practicing keeping your hands up when boxing, drilling hundreds of times basic passes in soccer. Which house do you think will last the longest before crumbling, the 10 million dollar mansion built upon the sand? Or the 100 thousand dollar shack built on concrete? You know the answer to this guys, the mansion will look spectacular next to the shack, but as soon as the big wave comes the mansion built on sand will crumble under the pressure!
All the flashy moves and technique is the mansion, looking great while there is no pressure, but as soon as the pressure comes, (a great boxing opponent or your opposing soccer team which their players have been trained and drilled the basics such as always marking their man, leaving no gaps in their defence), this is when you are going to find out if you have mastered the basics.
This is a must if you wish to make it to the top and STAY THERE, because one day that crushing wave is going to come and test your foundations, if yours is built on sand, you are going to that mansion with all the flash but no substance!When the coach tells you to do another 100 jabs, do 200!!
Until next time, train hard and smart!
