Sayings of Sport : Stoic Athleticism.

FeaturedHurricane Irma

Dedicated to an old and stoic friend, Tim Rowbottom.

The essence of a stoic athlete is that they will move well irregardless of external influences.

Athletes are not disturbed by competition, but by their viewpoint about the competition.

A gym, sports ground, or recreation centre is not adorned by trophies or pennants, but by the virtue of those whom move humanely within it.

They who exercise wisely, exercise optimally.

To be uneducated is to experience misfortune. To begin ones education is to make the attempt. To be accepting of oneself and others shows that ones education is Complete.

Old Squash Knowledge for the Young.

a man holding a samurai

The longest rally begins with a serve.

To coach people – understand them.

If your shot was not up forget it. If your shot was out forget it. If your shot goes in prepare for the next shot.

Get rid of the desire to win.

When I let go of what I was, I become what I am.

Soft and tight wins over hard and loose.

Words are nothing, movement is everything.

Living only for the accolades of victory means you are trapped.

There is nothing softer and more flexible than air, use it.

Shape your thoughts, they become your words. Shape your words, they become your actions. Shape your actions, they become your habits. Shape your habits, they become your character. Shape your character, it becomes your destiny.

Wise athletes avoid extreme training.

Proverbs of Sport, Kilometre 13.

A wise athlete accepts their coaches discipline,
but the scoffer does not listen to a rebuke.
After the fruitage of effort an athlete will eat nutritiously,
but the desire of the incompetent is for gluttony.
The one guarding their mouth protects their health,
but the one purging will come to ruin.
The lazy human has cravings, yet they have nothing,
But the diligent ones will be fully satisfied.
