From “The Human
Condition: A User’s Manual,” by Arnold Kunst
9 July
In1956 Floyd
Patterson, at 21, became the youngest heavyweight champion in history. I was 15
at the time and I remember how impressed I was. What got my attention was that
he had a coach - what was that about anyway?! And I thought, "He's at the
top - when does a guy get to coast, anyway?"
Wrong take-away,
right? It was only when I got older that I learned the right take-away: a coach
is worth his weight in gold; choose him carefully, follow his lead to get to
the top, continue to follow his lead to remain at the top.
I don't know what you
do, but you’d be wise to get a coach.
Unless, of course,
you’re ok thinking like a kid?
