Each of us has came face to face with a physical threat. Our natural fight or flight instincts kick in and I decision must be made.
- Will I quiver in fear?
- Will I close my eyes, send up a quick prayer, and hope that there is enough ointment around to clean the wounds after the massacre?
- Will I summon the courage to challenge the person threatening my territory?
On Saturday September 12, 2009 Serena Williams created this scenario for a timid line judge at the U.S. Open. Here is the tale of the tape:
- Serena Williams – 5 foot 9, 150 lbs of chiseled professional athlete
- Line Judge - 5 foot 2, 160 lbs of cushioned middle aged female
The line judge seemed a bit timid and afraid (which is understandable). If you were in her shoes what would you have done?
