Off-Season Training

Lifted weights upwards of 4 hours in the morning, broke for lunch, then did running in the afternoon (e.g., miles, 880's, 440's, etc.).

I knew it was necessary for me to work harder than anybody in front of me to have any chance of getting playing time.

In the years since, that lesson has been forgotten. Until recently.

When I finish this book, I'll know the lesson has been re-learned.

Once I'm out on book tours and interviews, I might be able to claim that I've finally come off of the bench.

And it will have only taken me 25 years.

Sure beats the alternative.
