But what are they focused on? They are focused on one thing and one thing only. Here are a few examples as illustrations. *Great Quarterbacks throw the ball to where the receiver WILL BE, not where he is.* *When riding a motorcycle, the bike will go where your eyes go.* *When rounding a curve, you must keep your eyes looking forward and through the curve, not at the ground, you’re currently passing through otherwise you’ll go off path and crash.* *When shooting a basketball, a shooter doesn’t look at the ball, they lock their eyes on the goal.* Wayne Gretzky said “A good player plays where the puck is. A great player plays where the puck is going to be.” As we get ready to head into 2020 (and close this decade), I want to share with you a powerful concept to remember on your road to success. I hope you enjoy this show.   ### Are you subscribed to this inspirational podcast yet? If not, I’d love to encourage you to do so today so you don’t miss an episode.
