Delay or Accelerate?

Week 6: Patience

Delays are just acceleration lanes into a different opportunity.
James 1: 4

Daddy taught me to play sports. In football, as in every sport, he taught me to be thoughtful in how I played. After all, I wasn’t the biggest or fastest or strongest.

As a receiver I couldn’t run the patterns haphazardly. I had to be precise. I had to alter the rhythm of what I did. The hitch and go was one of my favorite routes. What is that? The hitch and go is when you run downfield and act as if you are going to turn and when the defender reacts to your cut you instead accelerate downfield. The delay provides the opportunity for success.

What delays have you been counting as dead ends that could really be used to determine the direction towards your success downfield? Keep your head in the game. Determine what direction you need to accelerate.
