A footballer from the wrong end of the M62 was interviewed on
one of his most important goals – a last minute equaliser, scored from 30
yards. He said that he hit the ball ‘as hard as he could’ because ‘every bone
in his body ached’; he didn’t want to lay the ball off and build up the play
any further as he was too tired to run further towards the box.
Two interesting
points for me:
- Even the best performers get tired; they give
their all to achieve top results (you would have thought he was able to cope
with 90 minutes of football; this shows the difference between 'competing' and 'completing')
- Even when you are tired out, you can still
perform to high levels – if your brain will let you
