Eat That Frog!

Leave it to our good friend, Shawnee, to introduce the following metaphor about tackling the most challenging or unpleasant task. It’s all about boosting our productivity from early day…

I can’t fault Shawnee for attributing that line of thinking to current day motivational speaker, Brian Tracy (I’ve heard him express that often). However, it’s usually attributed to Mark Twain, who supposedly said something to the effect that, “If the first thing you do each morning is eat a live frog, you’ll have the satisfaction of knowing that’s probably the worst thing you’ll have to do all day!”

No matter who coined the expression, Shawnee nailed it for suggesting we coaches, players and parents “eat that frog” as early in the day as possible!
