often times i think back to ben askren after his double lung transplant, he survives and says “yea i only died four times”. THIS MAN SAID “ONLY”. no matter your situation, perspective is everything. stop thinking you’re entitled to anything. trials are blessings. gifts. the rain isn’t the problem, your inability to stop and appreciate it is.
i used to struggle with hip throws all the time when i was younger but once I began focusing on loading my opponents weight onto my hips, these throws became a lot easier. my upper body does the job of maintaining a strong connection, whether it’s an under hook or an over hook. meanwhile, my lower body loads his weight onto my hips with proper footwork.
