Summary

"People who are great at anything they do don't do it for the money. The money is just a byproduct in achieving greatness. - John Brenkus As I'm sure many of you know, I'm pretty big on sports. I love everything about it. The challenge of the games, the sense of being part of a team, and even the science behind how it works. It's always fascinated me. Why is it some people can excel at sports, while others fall short no matter how hard they try? It's not just a matter of genes and physical strength. In fact, someone's natural mind set under pressure also has a lot to do with it. When you talk to Super Bowl Champions, no matter how much pressure is on them, it's just a game. If they win or lose, they go home to their families and they know life will go on. To most of us that kind of pressure would cause us to live in the moment, we'd be stuck in our heads, and end up costing us the big game.
