Even the toughest of metals will flex with enough pressure. A very tough Mr. Jackson would train his fighters and tell them to keep the pressure on! "Pressure will bust a pipe!" He would yell, "You know why guys can't stop Mike Tyson? Even the ones too dumb to respect his power? Because they wait for him! Pressure will bust a pipe!" I took that saying with me from the brief stint that I was in his building, all the way to the basketball court, and the soccer field as a coach! I yell from the side, "Pressure, Pressure, Pressure!!!" The kids respond, and when they finally trust one another, then they see the results! Another saying that I will use via Doc Rivers! "Trust one another!" Coach John Wooden "The Wizard of Westwood" said, "Dont hurry (rush), be quick!" He led UCLA to their first National Championship over a much bigger Duke in 1964 without a player over 6'5" on route to the first of 10! His players loved him! They respected him, trusted him, and would bend over backwards for him! Like any relationship should be! Marriage, career, etc...
One of my fav's is: "It's not love if you 'have' to bend over backwards, it is love when you want to bend over backwards."
