episode 3: All-around leader series #3: Shot Put
Are you facing an extremely heavy burden? Something in your life that you know is going to take a huge amount of energy to move or solve? You’re not alone. I believe we all need two vital character skills when facing these types of obstacles, and I’m going to explain how I learned them in this third installment in the all-around leader series-- It’s all about the Shot put, but first-- a word from our sponsor...
Ugly, mean, base-- the shot put is the first throwing event in the decathlon, and it's all about pure brute explosion. The sprinters have excelled in the first two events, the 100m and Long jump-- but now we all must be confined to a 7’6” circle-- not a very large space to generate power and force. Each competitor will have 3 attempts to move this 16lb object as far away from that circle as possible, while staying under control and leaving the back half of the circle after they have thrown.
We need to generate intensity under control. Maximum effort from everything that we have control over.
Then we need to focus that force into the problem.
Intensity + Focus = maximum performance.
Encouragement
Positive mental attitude
Enthusiasm, Dreamer, Coach, Mentor, Friend
