Lou Holtz has a great quote about motivation, something to the effect of "It's easy to get motivated. You eliminate those that aren't!" -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]]on Behalf Of Jerry Belloit Sent: Saturday, February 20, 2010 10:56 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [gatortalk] RE: [gatornews] Florida DT Gary Brown kicked off team following battery arrest Importance: Low
I wasn’t aware that he had several issues. I remember that he reported out of shape and overweight. I wonder how he might have fared if there was still a JV team. Sometimes I think that the NCAA did our freshman players a disservice by the elimination of JV. It gave them a chance to be one the field and have some significant game experience. Would that game experience have motivated Brown to work harder on and off the field? Who knows. I am always saddened when players and students are not successful. In my own case, when my students do not succeed, I consider it not only their failure but my own in that I could not find the right combination of motivators.
