Don't Be A One Dimensional Athlete

If we are desiring to be at the top of our game mentally and physically we should associate with those who are fellow seekers and avoid or limit our contact with others who are basically living for self pleasure.
This was something Percy Cerutty repeatedly wrote about and taught.
 He also preached on the necessity of his athletes educating themselves on more than just........athletics.
He was a big advocate of reading good books. He had a massive personal library. 
Reading books is becoming less common then it once was. The increasing options provided by the television,computer and the internet have been the major reason for this development.
 I would be remiss not to include America's obsession with watching pro-sports as another reason.
There is something very special about taking time each day to read. We should make reading an essential part of our lives, like eating, bathing and sleeping. It is that important for those who want to become all they are capable of being.
As far as what to read?
For starters, try reading biographies of people who have done positive and great things for themselves, their country or world.
Turn off the television--or as Peter Tosh used to refer to it as-------'Tell-a lie-vision".
Every minute of your life is precious, don't waste it!
