I know that I've used Ryan Holiday's Discipline Is Destiny for a few posts on this blog (and Wozza's Place), but this book hits bull's-eyes for so many things.
This list of instructions is well worth pinning to a wall in my classroom. It will work for me and my students!
Show up...
...when you're tired
...when you don't have to
...even if you have an excuse
...even if you're busy
...even if you won't get recognised for it
...even if it's been kicking your ass lately.
It's tough to do. Showing up. But because it's hard - most people don't. It's why many NZ kids who want to grow up to be an All Black, never make it.
Many of my students tell me they want to be professional league players in Australia.
They'll need to show up. Every day.
