Forget what lies behind

Still thinking about mistakes (see a few entries below) And the Giants / Packers game of Sunday night. In the Sports section today there was a nice piece about Lawrence Tynes who kicked the winning field goal in the N. F. L championship game.  Earlier in the season Tynes had missed so many field goals and extra points that the Giants coach Tom Coughlin had started looking for other kickers.  Earlier in the game Sunday Tynes had missed two fourth-quarter field goals as well.

The article said, “Kickers are ultimately judged by their failures. And how they respond to them. ‘Because everyone misses,’ Giants punter Jeff Feagles said. ‘Then what?’”

On Sunday night Tynes went into a game with wind chills around -20, having missed twice before, and nailed a 47-yard field goal.

“Forget what lies behind. Reach forward to what lies ahead.”
