1. Patrick Mahomes became the NFL’s best quarterback by refusing to specialize in football

https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2020/01/30/patrick-mahomes-became-nfls-best-quarterback-by-refusing-specialize-football/?fbclid=IwAR0bi6afJV0EQiseadeH4jodVqC8dL_i1sEeRiGG RVCDrG2xrzY31ZE7RAI&utm_campaign=wp_main&utm_mediu m=social&utm_source=facebook


"Mahomes grew up in an age of early specialization, a time when quarterback gurus and hitting coaches and shot doctors and year-round travel teams have overtaken youth sports. And yet he developed into one of the greatest football forces on the planet as an athletic generalist.

He used his developmental years to cultivate a broad spectrum of tangible and intangible athletic capabilities. He gained a profound, intrinsic sense of how to wield his body in competition. He learned how to be the best quarterback by not playing quarterback.”
