“I would tell players to relax and never think about what’s at stake. Just think about the basketball game. If you start to think about who is going to win the championship, you’ve lost your focus.” ~ Michael Jordan

You poke me in the chest, you kick me in the ass, you drive me over the...

You’re in an environment that is purposely structured to push you, to motivate you and to prove to you what you are capable of and yet; the weight seems unbearable. A weight you’ve never accomplished before. A weight you’ve...
