“Man what a lucky pass”
This was a lucky pass. But so much hard work, dedication and discipline goes into being lucky.
Running your post route full speed when it’s a love of the game route. Not mentally checking out on a play when you know the ball isn’t coming to you.
Young athletes take note.
It isn’t always going to be about you. The play isn’t always going to be drawn up for you.
Kendall Wright was a 1st round pick WR running a decoy route to open up his teammate. If he doesn’t run it at full speed the play doesn’t work.
What are you willing to give for your team?
You control your effort.
Being lucky isn’t something that happens by chance.
It is the result of the hard work you put in consistently to put yourself and your team in position to have an opportunity to be lucky.
Kendall Wright ran his post full speed knowing the play wasn’t about him and because he did, the play was ALL ABOUT HIM.
We don’t win a Heisman Trophy without this play.
There is no I in team, but there is a ME.
So young athletes, be the reason your team is lucky through your hard work, dedication and discipline whether the play is drawn for you or not.
Because in football even when the play isn’t all about you, it’s always all about you.
Throwback to when Baylor’s
