The 10,000 Hour Rule

I am a big believer in the 10,000 hour rule. For those who don’t know, the 10,000 hour rule states that is takes 10,000 hours of dedicated work in your field to become an expert or roughly 10 years. So, after 10 years in the Sports Performance industry, having worked with thousands of athletes as well as some convincing from the people closest to me, I feel like I have earned a platform to share my thoughts and feelings on training athletes. Over the past 10 years, I have been fortunate to be a small part in helping some of the country’s top players and teams reach their dreams of earning college scholarships , earning big contracts and winning state championships to name a few. I have also had the opportunities like helping a kid make the varsity football team, helping one make his AAU basketball team after being cut for 3 years, and helping a young man lose over 75 pounds. One thing that I have learned is that the “status” an athlete is cool but I don’t really care how great you are, I care about how dedicated you are to reaching your goals whatever they may be.  I want humble kids, who care about other people and understand that it takes hard work and dedication to reach their dreams that they have. I just hope that my team and I can be a small part in helping them get there. My goal for this blog is too express my thoughts and beliefs on training athletes and teams, the sports performance industry, leadership, motivation and whatever else comes to my mind each week. Hopefully you all find it worth the read and can take something from it each week.
