Ik weet niet wie "TheRealGeeza" op Youtube is, en of hij deze "Slippery slope" zelf heeft uitgevonden ... maar het is de eerste keer dat ik het lees en ik vind het geweldig goed! :thup:
Vooral iets om na te denken voor de hogere gordels onder ons! ;)
I am scared.
I am not ready.
I am a coach now.
I competed last year.
My wife will not let me.
I got promoted too early.
I do not trust the referees.
I need to work on my cardio.
I cannot afford to get injured.
I am not as good as those guys.
I am still working on my game-plan.
I do not want to let the team down.
Everyone will remember if I do badly.
I have not been training much recently.
I am just not in the right mindset right now.
I retired from competing once I got this belt.
I cannot get down to my weight-class that quickly.
And so the slippery slope of excuses for not competing goes.
One excuse I have still never heard; I only have one leg.
Here is something that will inspire you; a video of a man with one leg competing. Frank has also competed in MMA.
Regie Rink (blue gi) vs Frank Van Hove. 2009 10 25 - Amsterdam Open, Holland.
En de partij die er op Youtube bijhoort:
