Slaying The Dragon: How to Turn Your Small Steps to Great Feats by Michael Johnson
In today's fast-paced society where athletes regularly draw multimillion-dollar paychecks, we sometimes forget the long hours of practice and work it takes for an athlete to become successful. Truthfully speaking, it never happens overnight. Hard work, perfect practice, and dedication to the goal of becoming better at your "sport" are just a few of the steps it takes to become a Michael Johnson, a Muhammad Ali, a Barbra Streisand, a Steven Spielberg, or a Bill Gates.
Michael Johnson stunned the world in the 1996 Olympics when
he achieved what no other runner has ever accomplished,
capturing two gold medals in the 200-meter and the 400-meter
races and shattering the previous world record set in the
200 his own record by a staggering margin. Arms pumping,
back straight in his unique running style, gold shoes
flashing, it looked to the world as if Johnson had reached
the pinnacle of his profession, as if he owned those races.
Except for the stumble out of the blocks. For while Johnson
knew what the world knew that he was the fastest man alive
he also knew that there were still mountains to conquer. How
much faster could he have gone without the stumble?
