The greater you want to be, the greater the obstacles in front of you. Climb over one wall only to be facing another wall they you have to knock down. But, if you remember this, you can indeed become great.

On April 12th, my left knee literally exploded while playing basketball. The official injury: ruptured left patellar tendon (snapped in half both ways, didn't just come off the bone), destroyed knee capsule, torn patellofemoral ligament and torn IT band. Here, you will see me in the gym 3 weeks after surgery and trying some of the recommended pre-PT exercises.

Things aren't quite as easy as they used to be at the moment. Lugging around this big ass leg that can't move by itself is challenging, yet it is a challenge that I enjoy. Here, you will see what it takes to move 10 feet after having my knee cleaned out.

You get complacent in two ways. You either get so much better than your competition that you start slacking off a bit (more rare version) or you are smacked in the face, knocked to the ground in life and you decide it would be easier to continue to backslide. Either way, if it happens, you are finished.

The Doc told me it was okay to workout upper body. A little hard to do in a wheel chair, but I am making it happen. I am obviously very weak as I am pretty much on bed rest (as much as possible for me) and my body is trying to heal. Nonetheless, the workouts invigorate me even if they are just a shell of my normal workouts.

It seems funny that I would be putting out a video about knee and ankle health considering my recent patellar tendon rupture. But as you know, things that drive us out of our comfort zone cause us to learn even more. I am working with my surgeon to develop the ultimate comeback regimen for knees and part of that is learning all about this fascinating joint.

You have an internal compass that tells you if you are on the right path. If you are truly aspiring to be great and to access your own inner genius, you will know when because you will be resisted at every turn. If you truly believe you are great, there are no competitors for you. Do you believe?
