"Once you've done the mental work, there comes a point you have to throw yourself into the action and put your heart on the line. That means not only being brave, but being compassionate towards yourself, your teammates and your opponents." Phil Jackson(American Basketball Coach)
Many people (too many if you ask me) spend way too much time thinking, discussing, planning and organizing their exercise plan and do very little when it comes to their actual execution. "Throwing yourself into the action...." happens when you stop thinking and just "do it". And "being compassionate towards yourself" by listening to what your body needs to improve health is certainly a step in the right direction.
Having others who support your efforts (teammates) and encouraging those (opponents) who may not recognize the benefits of what exercise can offer is really putting your heart on the line.
