A few years ago I was stretching at the Reebok Club in NYC. The Reebok Club is everything anyone outside of NYC would visualize a swanky health club to be. Actors, models, professional athletes like ARod are commonplace. The gym is six floors, with a pool, two full basketball courts, a locker room with showers, shaving cream, razors, hair spray, you name it. Every class you could imagine is offered. It is the one thing in NYC that I actually believe is underpriced even at rates ten times what most pay a month at a gym. It is one of my favorite places in NYC.
A tall, lean gentleman whose face I could not quite make out was doing some unique exercises that caught my attention. After every exercise the young twenty something athlete made detailed notes in a notebook recording his work. His core was as strong as an oak tree. After one exercise he wrote in his notebook, and then moved on quickly to the next exercise. His focus and attention to detail were memorable. This young man went on to win a Super Bowl for the NY Giants. It was Eli Manning.
As I watch tonight’s game I will be reminded of how meticulous and dedicated Eli was with his injury prevention exercises. As the younger brother of Peyton it is not a stretch to conclude he learned the importance of hard work from Peyton.
