Behind The Scenes: What do you do when no one is watching?

Behind The Scenes: What do you do When No One is Watching?

If you had a chance to watch the Hall of Fame Inductee speech the other
night then you had the chance to see some of the hardest working athletes of all times reach immortality in their field. These athletes were no doubt blessed with unbelievable talent, had the opportunity to play on some great teams and were all probably lucky at some point. All of these were not the reason they were on stage receiving their jackets. Unbelievable dedication to working behind the scenes is what propelled these athletes to reach the top. Jerry Rice was famous for his work ethic in the off season. During his speech he said win or loose he would take 2 weeks off and then begin to prepare by running up a hill near his home. Emmit Smith the NFL All Times leading rusher's work off season work ethic was legendary even becoming part of Reebok's push for cross training shoes back in the day. All of these athletes and successful businessmen do more than is expected and work harder longer than the rest to reach the top of their sport or profession.
What do you do when no one is watching? When practice is over or the work day is done do you do the little bit extra to reach immortality? Below are 5 tips to help you find the time to do more than your competition.


  1. Work in Obscurity - If people pay their dues and give their best in obscurity, ego is usually not a problem. Find times during your day that you can work alone. Whether that is waking up earlier than everyone else, or not taking a lunch break. Work when no one else is and watch your results grow!
  2. Let your Efforts be Known by your results - If you are dedicated to working when no one is watching then your hard work will show in the results. For Jerry Rice and Emmit Smith it was becoming the best of all time at what they did. No one needs to know about the extra work that you put in, the results will prove it!
  3. Work in your passion - It is really hard to wake up early, work for long hours by yourself and do more than others in a task if you are not passionate about what you are doing. A great way to find your passion is to ask yourself what would you do for free if money was not an option? If you can find that then you will work countless hours at it to become the best.
  4. Learn to Quit - Quit the things that are taking away from your time to work on what is important. If it is not moving you towards becoming the best at your chosen profession then it is taking you away from it. Focus on the task that fall in line with your passion and goals. If it does not get you closer to the top and is not necessary then get rid of it!
  5. Focus on Completing Task - Completion of task allows you to have small victories on the way to completion of large goals. Take your large goal and break it down into small task that can be completed. Work on completing these task each day when no one is watching. A little bit everyday will lead to great accomplishments at the end!
Find time to work when no one is watching and watch your results grow!

Ty Darlington Getting Noticed as one of the Best in the State - Ty has been racking up pre season honors so far this year. Recently being ranked as the #2 Player on the Orlando Sentinel 2012 Super 60 and #9 Player in the Florida Top 100 for 2012.

The Makings of a Champion

The Makings of a Champion Kobe
If you are an avid sports fan like myself one of the coolest things to see is the difference between the CHAMPION and the other players . This athlete sticks out above the rest. He does things that the others are not willing to do on a daily basis while no one is watching. The Champion is the example that the other athletes follow and will die for. Below are 5 things that champions possess.

  1. Relentless - The champion is relentless in his pursuit of excellence. There is is nothing that he will not do to reach the top. From playing through pain and injuries to waking up at 5 in the morning to perfect his craft while others are sleeping. Are you relentless in pursuing your goal?
  2. Demanding - The champion demands perfection from himself and from his teammates. The perfection that he demands from himself allows him to demand it from his teammates when times get tough. Do you demand perfection from yourself and your teammates?
  3. Team Player - The champion realizes that with out the team there will be no chance of reaching the championship level. He will do whatever it takes for his team to be successful even if it means he is not the star of the game. Things such as passing the ball instead of shooting, blocking instead of getting the ball on the goal line are examples of a champions' team player mentality. Are you a me first guy or a team first guy?
  4. Little Things - The champion realizes that the little things are what separates the average from the great. He knows that the little things make up the big ones. Focusing on perfecting the little things such as footwork, angles of a play, placement of a pass and eating right are a few of the little things that lead to the championship level.Do you perfect the little things?
  5. Sacrifice - The champion understands that he must sacrifice to reach the level that few reach. When the champion is able to sacrifice things to reach that level his teammates will do the same in return. When you have a team that will sacrifice everything for the ultimate goal of a championship you have something that is truly special. What can you sacrifice to reach the championship level?
Go be a CHAMPION today!

Choosing your Entourage to Make a Difference

Choosing your Entourage to Make a Difference
entourage
Many of our athletes and corporate warriors are in positions that allow them to be looked up to and respected by their peers. With this comes the opportunity to choose who they spend time with on and off the field. Often someones entourage determines their level of success, ability to make a difference and whether or not they reach their full potential or not. The old saying goes that "birds of a feather flock together." No where is that more true than with our athletes and corporate warriors. Below are a few tips to help you choose your entourage and start making a difference in what you do!

  1. Attitude - choosing entourage members that have a great attitude will keep everyone moving in the right direction staying positive in all situations. People with poor attitudes will bring everyone down into their own misery.
  2. Values - Whether your values are positive or negative the values your entourage share will shape the character in which you all possess.
  3. Goals - If your entourage are all reaching for the same dream and goal you will all be pulling in the same direction and fighting for the same thing.
  4. High Energy - When your members have a high energy there will be an excitement always present to reach the top of your sport or profession.
  5. Leaders - What you are is what you attract. Having a entourage of leaders allows you to attract followers that have the same abilities and aspirations.
Choose your entourage wisely and go make things happen!

5 Steps to a Great 40 yard Sprint

The NFL Combine has been around for many years testing future NFL players in drills and test that will help teams determine whether or not they will select these players in the draft. With the growth in recruiting of High School athletes for college, underclassman combines have begun to take place all over the country. These combines are very similar to the NFL Combines in there testing procedures and give High School athletes an opportunity to show off their athleticism. With the NFL and the Underclassman combines the number one test that is talked about and focused on is the 40 yard sprint. There are many techniques and drills that can be taught and trained to help maximize an athletes 40 yard time. Below are 5 simple tips that will help you turn out a great time at your next combine.

1. See it - Never underestimate the power of the mind. Before you line up to run your 40 yard dash visualize yourself running a great time. See your self lining up, getting in your stance, exploding out and running the best time you have ever ran. The more you see yourself running this time the more likely that you will perform on combine day. There is proven evidence that when you focus , concentrate and visualize a physical activity in your mind, your muscles will fire to a small degree. Priming your body for a great time.

2. It Starts with the stance - Your 40 will begin with your stance. The key to a great stance is that it sets you up to explode out of the start. Line up with the lead foot around 4-12 inches from the starting line. Set your opposite knee around the instep of your lead foot locking your back toe into the ground. Place both hands right up against the line like a track start. Pop up into the stance taking the hand on the lead foot side back beside your back hip. Once up in your stance you should feel that your body is loaded and ready to fire out down the track. Slightly lean forward over the down hand as you prepare to take off, count down from 3 --2 --1 and go!

3. Have a Great first 15 - Once you have found a stance that feels good and loaded it is time to work on the 1st phase of your 40 yard sprint. This phase is all about accelerating and is called the drive phase . The main key here is to think about covering ground by exploding your hips forward with every step and not over striding. Think about a sports car, they have to go through 1st and 2nd gear before they can reach top end speed. A 40 is the same way you must accelerate through powerful steps through the first 15. Keep your head down and stay low through this 15. A great first 15 equals a great 40.

4. Changing Gears - After you explode through the 15 it is time to change gears in the acceleration phase 1 . At the 15 yard mark think of yourself going into second gear. Explode your arms as fast as possible and think about exploding though the next 10 yards. Your body should begin to rise but still keep a slight forward lean, running on the balls of your feet and popping off the ground.

5. Finish through 60 - Once you hit the 25 yard mark of your 40 its time to shift into 5th gear (drive phase 2) . Explode through the 25 yard mark and relax and run. Try to accelerate through the 40 yard mark as if you are running a 60 yard sprint.

The 40 is a skill that is taught and learned. It takes constant practice and tweaking in order to perform at your best on testing day. I hope this helps some of you guys who are going to High School Combines in the near future. For more info please email me at coachhunterwood@gmail.com.
