Madden 12 Playbooks

Im sure that you guys are aware that the madden 12 playbooks have been released on primamadden.com
I have to give it to EA Sports this year, these playbooks look great man. They have added 5-2, 4-3 odd, 4-3 over plus, 4-2-5 formations, many new sub formations and a couple nickle formations to madden 12.

This will be a great year guys. Under are just a couple plays that look just sexy.

 

Well those are just a few guys...Trust me when I say this, there are about 10 playbooks on offense that really caught my eye. And about 6 on defense (but in just a 4-3 defense guy so that narrowed the selection size down) 

Again if you didnt know the playbooks are on primamadden.com go check them out if you havent..

Im set with my books offensively and defensively...I can just smell a good madden year!!

You: The Best Guru EVER

A few months ago, I was on the porch sipping a little and cheifing  working on homework and I noticed one of my friends walking up to the front door.

So I eased on down the steps, let him in, and invited him to up to the porch to take in the scenery with me.

He readily agreed so I grabbed us both a couple of Walmarts’s finest Orange Fanta and we took our seats.

But something was wrong. My (normally laid back) buddy was all weirded out. 

“Poor bastard’s probably suffering from a Fanta deficiency”, I thought as I went to grab us a few more.

They didn’t do the trick so I finally asked him what was wrong.

Turned out he’d been disappointed with a recent “Guru” experience.  I’m not talking about spiritual guru stuff here …I mean “get-your-shit-together-in-Madden” stuff.

That type of Guru.

No, there’s no drama to report …nobody felt ripped off or hosed or anything. It’s just that the relationship didn’t work out as planned and my buddy was bummed.

“I really thought this was the guy who would take me where I want to go”, he said.

And There You Have It …The Root Of The Problem Revealed

See …here’s the deal (and this is what I tried to explain to my friend without sounding like an ass all high and mighty):

YOU are the only person who can take you where you want to go. There is no Guru, teacher, mentor, author, speaker, shaman, Madden Pro, or whatever who can or will do that for you.

Ever.

Sure, they can show you cool stuff. They can show you what worked for them, they can give you encouragement and motivation …and they can help you keep your head on straight when the going gets weird.

But in the immortal words of Hunter S. Thompson,

“When The Going Gets Weird, The Weird Turn Pro”

And what that means in the context of this little rant is simple:

DON’T FUCK AROUND AND EXPECT SOMEONE ELSE TO SAVE THE DAY.

They won’t. Hell, they can’t! Not even if they want to. Only YOU can.

So whenever you’re considering buying advice, coaching, mentoring, ebooks, or whatever – understand this:

They Are All WORTHLESS

…Unless you’re bull-headed enough to immediately put what you learn into action. (And then get right back to work when your first attempts inevitably present some challenges). And by what you learn, I mean concepts... The game changes every year but the concepts dont. Take the concepts and make them your own

And if you’re waiting until you get some big amazing revelation before you actually do something, you’re going to be waiting a long time. There ain’t one.

Well, that’s not entirely true. There is one …but it’s just kind of anti climatic. Here it is:

Some Stuff Works, Some Doesn’t.

And the stuff that’s worked for lots of other people will probably work for you too …if you put in the effort.

See …that’s the key word there.

Effort.

Let’s juice it up and add the word “educated” to it.

Now we have “educated effort”. And that’s a hell of a thing.

See, with “educated effort”, you can do anything you want.

Add in a little “determination” and you’re damn near unstoppable.

Then throw in a little bump of what my brother calls “stick-to-it-iveness” and you WILL get to where you want to go.

Let’s take a look at the last part of that sentence.

YOU. Will. Get. To. Where. YOU. Want. To. Go.

We didn’t say “[INSERT GURU HERE] will get you where you want to go”, did we?

Nope.

YOU.

All a Guru can give you is education.

But the fact remains that’s only 25% of what you need.

You still need throw in 25% effort, 25% determination, and 25% sticktoitiveness.

…And that’s the 75% that YOU and ONLY YOU can provide!

So that’s why

YOU are really the only Guru who can EVER get you to where you want to go!

Hell, how much education do you need, anyway?

Imagine a guy wanting to lose weight (ahem). How many books does he need to buy? For the love of God, it’s easy! Put the fork down and walk around for a few hours a day.

Do that for a month or so and you’ll weigh less. (Duh!)

That’s been the winning formula forever, right?

But There’s A Gazillion Dollar Industry
Delivering “New” Weight Loss Stuff Every Day!

There’s a new diet book every 20 minutes or so it seems.

And the books aren’t the problem. I’m sure they all work if the reader takes the education they just got, adds in a lot of effort, determination, and sticktoitiveness. And then flips it and makes it their own

But that clearly doesn’t happen. People just keep buying books and gizmos that go unused. Same thing happens in the Madden world. We buy ebooks and tips and then jump to the next one …without implementing any of the stuff we just learned. And trying to make it our own

Why?

Because The Short-Term Pain Of Effort Is Often Perceived
To Be Worse Than The Long-Term Pain Of Failure

There it is. The ugly truth.

It’s hard to get out there …try …work like hell … probably hit a few road blocks …and then keep busting ass until you succeed.

It’s a LOT harder (and less fun) than buying the latest “shiny object” and enjoying that temporary mental “high” that comes from the false sense of productivity you get from making the purchase.

But the fact is, the ONLY way you’ll get anywhere is to realize that YOU ARE THE GURU and that ONLY YOU can make it happen.

So if you keep on buying advice without putting forth determined and consistent effort to implement what you’ve learned, you will NOT succeed.

But if you’re willing to endure the short-term discomfort that stems from stepping outside your comfort zone and actually working like crazy for a while, you’ll get to where you want to go.

All the “Gurus” can do for you is give you the car, so to speak. It’s still up to you to get gas and actually drive it.

My Challenge To You

1. Don’t buy any advice this or next month. Go back and re-read whatever you’ve bought in the past. It’s still good stuff concept wise.

2. Turn off the damn computer and write down all the good stuff you learn. On a legal pad. (OLD SCHOOL!). Or in excel or google docs, WHATEVER!!!!

3. Review those notes and write down every possible action you could take to start getting better immediately. Do whatever actions jump out at you. Don’t over think this. Just do it. Life is short.

4. Create a new scheme. You’ve probably bought a ton of stuff on madden …so dig it out of the closet and put it to use. Look and see what that particular ebook was going for and reinvent it. Key Word is reinvent....DONT COPY. Nothing happens until you make a move. So start moving (and quit waiting).

5. Take the money you would have spent on whatever new madden product you were thinking about buying this month (but didn’t) and use that money to buy some X's and O's books by legit authors..Dont know legit authors? I can help you out. I can recommend some guys, and its up to you if you want to check their stuff out.

That’s right! Invest in Madden instead of buying more stuff about Madden. Revolutionary concept!

6. Measure the results of your activity (note the word ACTIVITY!) and tweak accordingly.

7. Repeat 1-6.

Oh – and if you’ve ever looked for a magic formula, that’s pretty much it.

I know because I’ve been at this now for 11 years and I’ve tried many different things.

It’s simple: If you are stuck

1. See what worked for other people.

2. Try it for yourself.

3. Take the concepts and make it your own 

4. Adjust according to results.

5. Repeat until you can stand on your own 2 feet
