Just Compete!
As many of you already know about me, I love competition.
Every single aspect about competing, I love it. This week I am dedicating my
blog to the legendary Dan Gable. If you look in the dictionary for the term
competitor or competition, they will always have a picture of Dan or a footnote
with reference to him.
I have met Dan and listened to him talk about courage,
training, work ethic, belief, preparation and execution. This is his recipe to compete. Dan had the
whole package as a collegiate wrestler and Olympian. He won gold in 1972 and
his collegiate record was 181-1.
Dan always believed that he could win. Check out these two
quotes:
As a wrestler he said “I shoot, I score. He shoots, I score”
As a coach he said “The first period is won by the best
technician. The second period is won by the kid in the best shape. The third is
won by the kid with the biggest heart”
All of this relates to you, business, running or whatever
you compete in. Have a winning attitude and bring your bag of courage. When you
do, it will result in the win. Just ask Dan.
