Thats all she wrote, on to the meet on Saturday!
Your ready, ypu’ve put in the time, stay focused, good lifting this weekend.
Hey Matty, good luck! Lift big!
I’ve been saving this story for you Matty until just before your first meet. I hope it can be of inspiration to you. I first heard it from a young, aspiring football player a long, long time ago so please forgive me if I get a few of the details wrong.
It’s set back in the 1920s and concerns a young baseball player called George Gip. He played point guard for the San Francisco Yankees college team.
That year, against all the odds, George and his teammates had made it through to the Superbowl where they would play college baseball’s powerhouse team the Orlando Heat in the final. The Heat hadn’t lost a game all year and had just destroyed the Tampa Bay Celtics in the wild card playoff by four touchdowns despite at one point being down to 18 men in the 11th innings.
Anyway, no-one was giving them a snowball in hell’s chance of winning the game, especially now that they were without their point guard George Gip who had collapsed and been rushed to hospital the very night before the game. (George was later diagnosed as suffering from Lou Gehrigs disease the very same disease that had tragically cut short the life of ice hockey great Brian Piccolo). Despite being very ill and against all medical advice, George left his hospital bed and made his way to the Mile High stadium changing room to address his teammates. He gave a long, impassioned speech and told them, I’m paraphrasing here, that “when times were hard, when they were facing adversity and they were staring down the barrel of the knife to dig deep and go out there and win one for the Gipper.”
And the result?..Well they ran out on that court and went on to thrash the Orlando Heat by more than three home runs AND a 60m safety from 3 point range in the last quarter of extra time!
Oh…and that young football player who told me this story? Well he went on to grow up to be none other than… Wayne Gretsky!!!
So go out and win one for the Gipper Matty. Good luck.
P.S Can you tell it’s pissing down here and I’ve got too much time on my hands?
Aspire to greatness.
Come back with your shield or on it.
You guys are awesome, thanks so much for the e-support!
