When You're Running on Empty

You're tired, yeah? Welcome to the club. Sometimes the primary sensation in an athlete's life isn't winning or passion-it's bone-deep exhaustion. Tired from practice, games, film study, school, work. Tired of it all. And maybe you're not even through the second quarter of your game, career, or life. How you perform when exhausted reveals everything about who you are as a competitor. The successful ones don't even think about being tired-they're so used to it that all they focus on is performing. Maybe that's what being an athlete really is: enduring and transcending limits when you "ain't nothing but tired." In high school, brutal conditioning drills taught me where to dig for extra strength. Years later in the NBA, I'd see opposing players at the free throw line making gentlemen's agreements not to fight for rebounds to save energy. I participated sometimes, but I hated myself for it. Agreeing not to give your best-for any reason-is cheating yourself and the game. The greats like Kobe, Rip Hamilton, and Tim Duncan found another gear in the fourth quarter. David Goggins, the ultramarathoner, says when you think you've hit your limit, you're only at 40% of capacity. Your mind's "Empty" light is malfunctioning-you can safely ignore it. That rebound I grabbed and kicked to Ray Allen for the game-tying three in Game 6 of the 2013 Finals? That was my 96th game that season, in the 48th minute against the greatest power forward ever. Pain is temporary; glory is forever. The difference between champions and everyone else is learning to say "This is miserable-give me more!" instead of "This is miserable-I quit."
