They say that the reason we have two ears and one mouth is because we should listen more than we speak. Listen, not just to reply, but also to learn and understand. Now listening is really all about paying attention, and you have more senses than just your ears to pay attention to. Your body speaks to you through pleasure or pain. As well, energy speaks through feelings, and your intuition is always talking to you. Are you listening?

As a football player, you have to listen and pay attention in so many ways, to what’s happening around you, to your coach, to your teammates, etc. But you have to listen to your body as well. If you don’t, you’re screwed! Injuries, stiffness, tiredness, etc., are all messages your body wants you to hear and to resolve, because you want to be ready for that next game or to skip the next game, if necessary. Be a great listener!
