I just graduated a very valuable course at work, Corporate Athlete. It is designed by some folks in Florida called HPI, Human Performance Institute. I believe the history is something along the lines of helping Tennis players, then helping athletes and then realizing that folks in Corporate America are the ones that really need it!
There is a great story about "Touching the White Fence". A group of big, beefy linebackers are told to make their wage through a forest to a white fence, but watch out for the wild boars. On the way to the fence some dude in the bushes makes a pig noise and the football(American) players run like babies. A group of Navy Seals or something of that breed do the same...and get to the fence. The difference? Training. Our careers, family, nutrition, health all require the acceptance of training if we are going to make the most of what we have...and get to the white fence. It could be totally made up, but it sounds good to me.
Now I have an Ultimate Mission no less, for me that means doing more of the same and enjoying it more every time! Game on folks!
