The Law of the Harvest

THE LAW OF THE HARVEST

Growing up in Kentucky, I understand farming and what it takes to reap a harvest. Coach Meyer used to always tell us, “You can’t fake the harvest.” Too many players now think that they can wait and turn it on, they can’t see the value of hard work during the summer, during the season on their own outside of practice.

I’m re-reading, “The 7 Habits of Highly Successful People” and thought this paragraph was exactly the message we want to send for summer workouts.

“Did you ever consider how ridiculous it would be to try to cram on a farm—to forget to plant in the spring, play all summer and then cram in the fall to bring in the harvest? The farm is a natural system. The price must be paid and the process followed. You always reap what you sow; there is no substitute.”
