“IQ vs. Sweat”
All athletes strive for a competitive edge to be the best, but they seldom look at IQ as a tool for success. An athlete must do more than sweat the athlete must think. IQ is the athletes ability to know and understand the game of choice. Whether it is football, basketball, soccer, lacrosse, track & field or even a simple game of dodgeball, the most successful athletes embrace knowing and yes, understanding the game. Basically, the higher the IQ, the higher the success of an athlete.
Now to truly realize the meaning of IQ every athlete must ask a few basic questions:
1)Who’s responsibility is it? It is always the athletes
2)What do I need to know? The rules of the game
3)When do I need to know? Before the game, during the game and after the game
4)Where do I need IQ? Wherever you are participating in the game
5)Why is IQ important? IQ builds Confidence,Intelligence,Skill, influence,Safety and most of all the competitive edge-Separation
Now you see the value of IQ go out and make it happen and remember, “Don’t Just Play The Game, Know the Game”
