Indoor Pic & Quote #103: FUN!

FUN! “Sport is for fun. Sport is NOT for agonizing over, NOT for placing pressure on yourself, NOT for filling your mind with doubt and fear before competitions, NOT for being all depressed and slamming doors after competitions. So, CUT IT OUT! APPRECIATE your capabilities, BE HAPPY to do your best, and BE PROUD to be an athlete!”  – Jeff Johnson

Editor’s Note: Due to the graciousness of Jeff Johnson, John Goegel and others, we are continuing our series begun several years ago. For those of you that don’t know, Jeff Johnson was employee #1 for Nike.  He actually is the one responsible for naming what is now a world corporation.  Fortunately for us, he was also a world class photographer of our great sports in the 1960s and 1970s during which he captured thousands of sports photographs.  We are honored and thankful for their choice to use our sites as their medium for sharing their passion.  We hope our presentations can do them justice!
