Lessons from Kevin Smith

Baxter's Buzz - 2 Months of Buzz - #41


Some chances appear to be clear cut "second" chances, but we have chances everyday. Kevin Smith from the Lions was literally on his couch 3 weeks ago as an unemployed football player. He worked out 5 days a week, for several hours per day waiting for his phone to ring. When asked what his routine was back home in Florida was, Smith replied, "Wake up at 7, kiss my son and go work out. Come back at 12 and play with my son". Wash. Rinse. Repeat.


We think about the actual chance when he was given a chance to workout for the Lions, but if he doesn't put in the work prior to that workout, he has no chance of success. Kevin Smith had his best game ever today with over 200 yards and 3 touchdowns. Your next "chance" may not be on national television, but everyday you will have a chance to improve upon your situation.

Congratulations to the Detroit Lions for winning another game. Please don't play with my emotions on Thanksgiving afternoon by getting down early to the Packers.
