What we can learn from sports icons
Roger Federer
The Tennis Superstar We All Wish We Were:
What we can learn from Federer. It’s no surprise that people love Roger
Federer. If you watched his first-round match at Wimbledon last week, you saw
what all of us have seen over and over again over more than a decade: The man
is smooth.
Zlatan Ibrahimović
I used to sleep 12 hours. Karl Pilkington:
What did you do all day? Zlatan Ibrahimović: I was sleeping! It is not
difficult to imagine what life would be like if we slept for twelve hours every
night. Our dreams would be more vivid and lucid, and we'd feel refreshed in
ways we can't now imagine.
Kevin Durant
On New Team, He Wants No Part of Label of
Boring Player : For Kevin Durant, there is more value in being efficient than
being exciting. Mr. Durant, who joined Golden State as a free agent last summer
and has helped turn around its season, said he would rather be boring and win
games than put up big numbers that would not result in victories. If you love
basketball, if you really love it, then I don't think anyone can ever say my
game is boring, Mr.
Dwayne Wade
Make
sure you say it to your partner first. NBA star Dwayne Wade says he wakes up
his wife and two kids before turning in himself. He said: 'I will literally be
in my bed about to go asleep, and I'll get up, and I'll start kissing them.'
Dwayne is married with two sons from his previous marriage, Zaire and Zion Jr,
who are both five.
Usain Bolt
The 8-hour Secret? : Sleeping eight hours
may be easier said than done, but it’s an important factor in successful weight
loss. When you don’t get enough sleep, your body has less energy and strength
during workouts; you might think you can squeeze in a quick workout before or
after work, but as soon as your head hits that pillow, everything is out of
focus.
Rory McIlroy
First, make sure you have a very
comfortable mattress. I really like memory foam. Next, if you can, try and
sleep when it’s dark outside; that way your body doesn’t know when it should be
waking up. Finally, set your alarm for at least seven hours before you need to
get up; that way you don’t oversleep and feel groggy all day long.
