Going hard in everything you do

Good article in the USA Today about K-State head football coach Bill Snyder. He is a good quote from OT Nick Stringer, one of a handful of players left from the previous Snyder era:
A lot of guys came to us. They'd heard stories about practices and workouts and how hard he used to work and the things we used to. They asked us if it was true, and we were like, 'Yeah, but it pays off.'."
Take the simple 40-yard sprint. "You run 42 yards through the line, not running 39 and coasting the last one. Stuff like that," Stringer says. "That's when you get better, when you're going as hard as you can in every rep in everything you're doing."
