Ok, I admit it I really am a fan of Jeremy Lin for all of the reasons he deserves his successes. Jeremy Lin is leading the Knicks on the new winning path (8wins, 1 loss so far) because he does it his own way, and he admits that. He decided to stop trying to fit in, but be aggressive and do it his way. It is easy to see he is very relaxed and confident within his own skin. He unraveled the mystery of himself; Jeremy Lin, a key outcome of life coaching. He brought a much higher purpose to the Knicks. He focuses on doing what it takes to win, by involving all of his teammates. He has turned the Knicks franchise around, without their two high paid stars; Carmello Anthony and Amar’e Stoudemire by creating numerous shots and enthusiasm for his teammates who had normally been relegated to watching Mello and Amar’e post up and shoot. Hopefully, Jeremy Lin will not fall prey to the media’s focus on stats, (Scoring, Turnovers, etc.) or the full return of Mello and Amar’e and he … [Read more...]
