The "Eye of the Tiger"......... Everyone knows this fantastic Survivor song, and everyone knows it from Mr. Rocky Balboa!
But what does this very cliche' phrase stand for?
- It is a mindset, an attitude, and a way to approach the task at hand!
Imagine you are in the middle of a game or match, and you just feel "out of it".... Come on... Snap out of it, use the eye of the tiger! Tell me that would not help you get your head back in the game.
Besides the fact that my father used to make me look into the mirror at my own eyes to develop said myth; I grew up being told that having the eye of the tiger is possessing a secret weapon! And after watching the Rocky series 52 times....... I realize that this Myth is actually a Reality!
In my time playing football through high school, at West Virginia University, and Rutgers University I would apply this simple saying into my own mindset. When I would get worked up, or ready for a play, hitting drill, or strength and conditioning test i would use my "Eye of the Tiger" and felt indestructible.
All in All, any mindset technique that works in making us push harder is a secret weapon!
Stay Training My Friends!
