Volitional…

Last night we kicked off practice with a team of grass kickers. OSU womens soccer is a great team led by a great leader. They are worth a watch. 

Last year was sweet sixteen. This year? Who knows. 

Sports. You gotta love the unknown. Or you’ll go crazy with the chaos that comes when injuries, anxiety, and the dreaded governor grab hold. Today they are being tested with the damn yo yo. Day ONE of the 2025 season. Tested. It’s volitional. Chosen suffering. You choose when you’re done. As coach describes it – “it’s not about how much you can take, it’s about how much you can give.” Love this thought from The Wizard. Damn.

What, friend, would happen to your sorriness if you were put under the pressure? You are living in the comfort zone. I mean c’mon man when was the last time you puked your guts out in a trash can from exertion? 

Take off the governor. Push your limits. Embrace the suffering. Test yourself. Taste fails. Now we’ll see what you are in fact made of.

This team is freakin’ magic. You?

Live hard. Love harder…
