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.

The Art of Squash.

red and white led light

The opportunity of defeating the opponent is provided by them.

It is more important to out think the opponent, than to out fight them.

In the midst of random play, there are many opportunities.

The supreme art of squash is to win the match the easiest way.

If you are a smart athlete, appear stupid, if you are a fit athlete, appear unfit.

Victory is reserved for the athlete who paid the price in training.

Fried Rich Athleticism.

Sometimes, players don’t want to hear athletic truth, because they don’t want their illusions destroyed.

A little training is better than none or too much.

I’m comfortable translating other people’s dissembling speech.

Body image is created within the mind, thus be mindful of your health.

If the athlete knows why, they’ll consider the how and what.

The athlete wants two things : improvement and victory. For those reasons they train and compete.

An athlete should be content with being alone, the view from the summit has no companions.

Hoping to alter your reality is much less than doing something about it right now.
