We need energy. "Nothing great is ever accomplished without enthusiasm."
Industriousness and enthusiasm comprise the cornerstones of the Wooden "Pyramid of Success." Their sum equals energy.
Excellent players have the 'four E's' - energy, the capacity to energize their team, 'edge', and execution.
Each practice, the coach and point guards need authentic energy. Young girls may refrain from bringing energy, fearing being labeled 'bossy' or 'bitchy'. We have to overcome those sentiments and train everyone to lead.
Jack Clark expounds brilliantly:
Jon Gordon wrote The Energy Bus. In every community, energy givers and energy takers coexist. Failure lives where the energy takers dominate.
Sometimes we can reinforce energy with an inspirational video, inspiring words, or music.
MacArthur's rhetoric at West Point is exceptional. Everyone finds their muse.
Even the harmonica can raise the energy level in the room.
Movies bring energy and pathos into our lives as well.
Energy helps you work hard, work smart, and work consistently. "The magic is in the work."
Work hard enough, smart enough, and long enough and the results might be glorious.
