How do you use your thoughts to define your performance? The Great Competitor
By Grantland Rice Beyond the winning and the goal, beyond the glory and the fame, He feels the flame within his soul, born of the spirit of the game, And where the barriers may wait, built up by the opposing gods, He finds the thrill in bucking fate and riding down the endless odds, Where others wither in the fire or fall below some raw mishap, Where others lag behind or tire and break beneath the handicap. He finds a new and deeper thrill to take him on the uphill spin, Because the test is greater still, and something he can revel in. “Values cannot be espoused and adopted by us at a conscious level – they are something that we are.” - Victor Frankl

You must integrate the connection between the overall vision and the actions that will take place to bring that vision to life.” - Alfred Chandler
How do you ensure you have the right structure to ensure a successful strategy? “The brain essentially has three parts – instinct, thinking, and emotion. Under pressure, it is the thinking that shuts down and that means you are relying on emotion and instinct and can no longer pick up the cues and information to make good decisions.” - James Kerr - Legacy
