#255 - Daily MG - The Mundanity of Excellence by Daniel F. Chambliss - 1 of 6

Three places excellence does NOT come from: "1. Excellence is not the product of socially deviant personalities. 2. Excellence does not result from quantitative changes in behavior. 3. Excellence does not result from some special inner quality of the athlete. "Talent" is one common name for this quality; sometimes we talk of a "gift," or of "natural ability." - Robert F. Chambliss
