"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

not telling :P
Can someone point me in the right direction on how to get really fit for the new football season (soccer for americans). I'am a very good footballer but one of the problems last season was lack of fitness (illness and injuries and a sedentary lifestyle) and thus I could only play one half of a match a game and rarely two and this was in defence rather than my preferred position in central defensive midfield.

I have 6 weeks to really prepare for the new season and I'am really fired up. All I need is the ability to run pretty hard for 120 minutes (games are 60 minutes in length but sometimes we have 2 matches 1 after the other: it's a university 5 a side league thing.)

At the moment I'am running 3 miles for about 24 mins. I can do it in about 20 mins If I really put myself out. This may not seem very good but much of the running is in countryside so you have to dodge holes in the path, uneven terrain and all that. I do this 6x a week. Obviously though this is not enough If I want to get supremely fit for the new football season.

Any tips and thanks in advance!!!?
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

As you run, combine in intervals of sprints. If you have to play for two hours, go on a very long, very slow jog...and combine a number of sprints into the jog to resemble your typical dual-game day. Sprint until your lungs burn, recover as you jog, and then do it again.
