How often do you find yourself using intensity and consistency to produce the results you desire?

If you are like many people, you probably use a balance between the two to create an optimal strategy for achievement, benefiting from areas of steady progress with the occasional acceleration provided by intense effort.

In recent years the “Tush Push” has been used particularly by the Philadelphia Eagles to make short yardage for first down conversions or to score a touchdown. In spite of many defenders knowing the play, this intense effort of the center, quarterback, and running backs pushing from behind is particularly effective.
