The Philosophy
by: The-Muffin-Man

Origins: The philosophy dates back to December 1st, 2007, in Mason, Ohio. Up-and-coming jump roper Muffy was attending an all-star workshop with his coach and several other teammates. This trip revived his passion for jumping rope and sparked the beginnings of what is known today as "The Philosophy."

Principles: Success is measured by will. How bad do you want it? "Just fucking do it" can be applied in a variety of ways, though its most common translation is "suck it up." Push through. Rise above, whatever you want to call it...just don't back down because someone or something throws adversity at you. If it hurts, fight through it, you'll be glad you did in the end. Or would you rather take the easy way out and never know exactly how strong your character really is?

I know a girl who suffers painful, exercise-induced asthma attacks every time she jumps rope...and then I watched her set the world record for three minute speed. There are NO excuses for me.
