There is NO such thing as an Off-Season

Too many people dislike Monday.  Why?  What did Monday do to you?  If you think about it, it's not what Monday did to you...it's what you did to yourself over the "weekend".  I'm sorry to point this out to you, but the weekend is nothing more than a marketing tool to not only let your guard down, but for you to spend money and do other activities which are called "relaxing".  I can't lie, I used to fall into that weekend mode, but working for myself and running my own company, the weekend is just two regular days in my book.  The same can be said in the sports/competition world. 

In any type of sport that is done competitively, there is a season where you compete against others (or yourself) and there is a time a year called the "Off-Season".  The off-season is allegedly the time of year when your rest and recuperate to get ready for the next season.  Just like the weekend, if you let your guard down too much (or at all) it's harder for you to get ready again for the up coming season (or Monday).  This is why some teams and individuals have such a slow start to the season and why Monday's are frowned upon.

By the end of this week, my WEBSITE will be up and running (it's still being worked on, but you can cruise around a little to see what it's like) and my "Off-season" shirt will be ready for public consumption.  This shirt is aimed at keeping you ready and alert, even if you think there really is an off-season (or weekend).  Every day is just another day and you should always stay alert and keep moving.  Taking a day off is fine...taking a season off (or off-season...see how the words are just reversed...?) can be disastrous...You can't move forward by stopping.
