One of my all-time favorite movies is “Tombstone.”
There is a dynamic scene where Wyatt Earp goes into the saloon to stake his claim in part ownership by kicking out the deadbeat card dealer running things. He slaps the dealer across the face time after time, asking him if he was going to do anything about it. The card dealer makes some mumbled threats between trembling lips, but doesn’t have the courage to act. Wyatt Earp then delivers the epic line, “You gonna do something, or just stand there and bleed?!”
Athletics is really no different. The critics, the opposition, even the game itself is slapping you across the face asking if you are going to do anything about it. Your skills are suspect. You have no left hand. You can’t finish with contact. You can’t get it done when the game is on the line…whatever your weaknesses are. But what are you going to do about it? Are you going to just stand there and bleed, in a proverbial sense, not having the courage or will to do anything about it? Or, will you get to work and start putting in the hours of skill development it takes to eliminate weaknesses, and have an answer when performance is required?
Ballogy is here to help motivate, guide, and evaluate your skill development. It is like having a full-time personal coach to push you and offer credible feedback on your skill work. It offers measurable data which shows where and how you are getting better. And it is fully customizable to any skill or drill you can imagine.
That rival athlete or team is going to walk into your “saloon” one day and slap you across the face and ask if you are going to do something, or just stand there and bleed. Ballogy is the answer to have you ready to do something about it!
