Up till about 100 I added an OH squat
So I was reading this article http://www.schwarzenegger.com/fitness/post/there-is-no-maybe and it got me to thinking of my defining moment. When I was 14 years old all I wanted to do was play baseball. I spent the long New Hampshire winter in a batting cage down the street from my house and in my bedroom with my plastic and cement weight set trying to get stronger. When spring came around I was having the best year I'd ever had, my team was doing awesome and I was having a blast. Because all I wanted to do was play ball I took the game very seriously and I was very intense to the point that I got benched a few times for tossing equipment. One time a teammate of mine was thrown out of a game unfairly I thought and it passed me off. I remember being a man possessed just just screaming and being ultra focused in a very tight game. I scored the winning run of that game and I remember yelling over to my ejected teammate that we won that game for him. At this point in time I was flying high I was playing well and just loving the game. The next time in school I remeber one of the "cool" kids telling me that I needed to chill out because my intensity was embarrassing. At first I don't think it bothered me but it must have because I allowed his words to seep into the way I played which affected the way I played and kind of sucked my passion away for the game. After reading Smittys article I should have stuck to what I wanted to do and not let anything get in my way. I was not a super talented player I had to do the work in order to stay co petitive. As I look back that moment where I let someone's perception of my my passion, which looking back may not have been as strong as I thought it was, I let words like cant or won't or settle seep into my vocabulary and have an effect on the person I would become. However from now on thanks to a podcast with Jon North and Travis Mash can't is a 4 letter word in my house and I'm going to make good things happen instead of sitting back and waiting for them to happen.
