Competitive Edge Quotes

    “Why do athletes talk trash to each other? Why do they deliberately say offensive and nasty things to their competitors when the refs aren’t looking? To provoke a reaction. Distracting and angering opponents is an easy way to knock them off their game. Try to remember that when you find yourself getting mad. Anger is not impressive or tough—it’s a mistake. It’s weakness.”

    Ryan Holiday, The Daily Stoic (Page 41)

      “It’s easy to cheat yourself and do just enough to get by, but that’s what everybody can do, just enough to get by.  But those who want to be successful and maintain that level of success have got to push a little bit harder and do a little bit more.” ~ Tony Gwynn
