The U of Minnesota has a new football coach and his name is P. J. Fleck. I heard an interview of him and it's easy to see that this guy is going to be a very exciting coach. He has expectations about the effort he wants from his players. Time will tell. Below is what coach Fleck said in an interview:
"When you're rowing a boat, you can't see where you're going....Your back is toward the future, you can't control it. You're rowing in the present, which is the only thing you can control," Fleck said. "But you're looking at the past, which is the only thing you can't change - but you have to learn from it."
Very interesting to me and I hope to you as well. Read it slowly. Imagine yourself in a row boat with some of your team and each person is rowing with their back facing the future, but everyone rowing is looking at the past. As is said, we must learn from the past, not focus on the past.
The point is, there is a great future for those who keep rowing regardless of their past. It takes work to grow but those of us who decide this year will be different will make things happen.
Enthusiastically,
Gary Burke
