Just For Results

Congratulations to Pat Hayden on being named The University of Southern California’s new Athletic Director. Pat will replace outgoing Athletic Director  Mike Garrett who will be taking a retirement package from the university. In the midst of the recent NCAA sanctions the university will be facing, Pat is the right man in the right position at the right time to lead  U.S.C.’s proud and illustrious athletic department.

Pat Hayden is a successful businessman and has been a sports commentator for NBC Sports besides also being a Rhodes Scholar. As a quarterback for U.S.C. and in the National Football League, Pat is definitely a proven leader  and understands what winning and competing is all about. There is no doubt that U.S.C. has made the best choice to position their athletic department for achieving even more victories with the proper guidance that will insure all student athletes prospering on and off the field in the right way.

Most would agree that the recent sanctions imposed by the NCAA investigation was overly harsh and it could be argued that U.S.C. ‘s incredible winning streak made them a big target for the NCAA. The NCAA always had a history of sanctioning university’s that consistently win and turn their eye’s on schools that don’t win national championships even though most competitive universities with a competitive athletic program can be sanctioned at anytime since they all face the same situations with their athletes. The NCAA board needs to take a hard look at themselves and investigate if they are really insuring the best of interests of all student athletes or just their own interests and salaries.

The longest tennis match in history, this is a sports record that will last for a long time. John Isner defeated Nicolas Mahut 70-68 at Wimbledon. There is no doubt that both players were absolute warriors and had the fortitude to battle for over 11 hours in the first round match.

Without knowing they would make history their physical and mental preparation propelled both of them into this amazing feat which has everyone excited about what they witnessed. Their will to compete and win was exceptional and something that each of us should apply to our own life or business. Competition is something that we should embrace because it takes us to a higher level where we experience the most success.

It’s easy to apply the winning characteristics of these amazing warriors into our own lives when we have the training that these athletes use to make history. Maximum Performance makes champions for life, business and sports. Start achieving and go to Maximum Performance.
