Belated Congrats And A Happy Bday

I wasn't going to post anything about the Lakers winning the NBA title a couple days ago since I'm from Northern Cali and don't care, but today is my Laker fan client's birthday, so I'll be a good sport and congratulate the Lakers on their championship. Happy birthday Tom! Enjoy your bday and Lakers win!! Tom is a very consistent and hard working client and he makes it easy (well easier) for me to get up at 5 am to train him at 6!!

Even though I could care less about the Lakers, I do deeply respect Kobe for his intense work ethic and extreme desire to win. None was more evident when he hurt his already dislocated pinky during the game. In a timeout, the trainer tried to offer him ice and tape, but Bryant refused saying, "I want to feel the pain." That mental toughness is why Kobe is a champion and the best in the world. Now I'm not saying go out and train when you're injured, of course not, but you can adopt that mentally tough mind-set when it comes to achieving your goals.
