“IT”

When an athlete has “IT” you can see “IT,” you can feel “IT,” you can sense “IT.” I am not sure what “IT” is but I know you better have “IT” if you want to be successful. It is fashionable to talk tangibles, what is measurable in talent identification and selection and then to talk about the intangibles. “IT” is somewhere in between. "IT" is not just physical ability, "IT" is not just mental toughness, “IT” is that quality that distinguishes and separates one from the pack. “IT” can be grit, but “IT” is more. Keeping looking for ”IT” and you will find “IT.” “IT” is the difference maker. In the competitive cauldron the athlete with “IT” finds a way to get it done.
