Morris County NJ Personal Trainer Carey Yang Blessed by Jeremy Lin "Linsanity" Inspiring Story

Feb. 17, 2012 - PRLog -- From Palo Alto High to Harvard, from Ivy League hoops to the NBA. From the Warriors, where he was considered a novelty, a vanity project of the impetuous new owner, to a brush with the Houston Rockets to, finally, the New York Knicks. Jeremy Lin, 23, unselected in the 2010 NBA draft, now stands astride the Big Apple, which of course crowns him as king of our world. Well, at least for the moment.

"Lin's story is beyond unbelievable. How could all the coaches, talent scouts, sports reporters and newscast miss him for all these years?" says Carey Yang, a certified personal trainer and fitness expert.

Yang is the owner and master personal trainer at Beyond Fitness Solutions, LLC -- a leading in-home personal training and weight-loss management company serving and helping clients in Morris County, Sussex County, Passaic County, Essex County and Somerset County areas in New Jersey.

After getting his first career start Monday and leading the Knicks to three victories, Lin went for 38 points Friday Feb. 10 to take down the Los Angeles Lakers. Not only was he treated to "MVP" chants at Madison Square Garden, but he also has hijacked league discourse. "If you miss his TV highlights, you'd be advised to check him out on YouTube," Yang said.

The "Lin Sensation" capped the week with 5th straight win over Minnesota Timberwolves at 100:98. With the NBA's first American-born player of Chinese or Taiwanese descent smashing barriers and taking a bulldozer to ethnic profiling, anyone with a pulse, no matter your loyalties, has to feel at least some of the warmth radiated by this incredible turn of events.

Lin has led the Knicks to 7 straight wins in the past two short weeks. "Linsanity" phenomenon is outrageously crazy. "We all can learn a lot of lessons from Lin's story to apply to our work and life," Yang said.

1. Believe in yourself when no one else does.
Lin’s only the 3rd graduate from Harvard to make it to the NBA.  He’s also one of only a handful of Asian-Americans to make it. He was sent by the Knicks to play for their D-League team 3 weeks ago in Erie, PA.  He’d already been cut by two other NBA teams before joining the Knicks this year.  You’ve got to believe in yourself, even when no one else does.

2. Seize the opportunity when it comes up.
Lin got to start for the Knicks because they had to start him.  They had too many injuries.  Baron Davis was gone.  The other point guards were out.  Carmelo Anthony was injured.  Amare Stoudemire had to leave the team because of a family death.  Lin could have squandered the opportunity and we would have never have noticed.  But he made the most of it.  You never know when opportunities are going to arise in life.  Often, they’re when you least expect them.  Make the most of them. Don’t fritter them away.

3. People will love you for being an original, not trying to be someone else.
You’ve got to be you.  You can’t be some 2nd rate copy of Michael Jordan.  There will never be another Michael Jordan.  Just be Jeremy Lin — yourself.  Whatever that is.  That doesn’t mean you don’t work hard — it just means you find what you’re good at and do it.  Fans will love you for being you, just like they love Jeremy Lin.

4. Stay humble.
If you one day are lucky enough to have newspapers want to put you on the cover in order to sell more, don’t let it get to your head.  It’s been remarkable watching how humble Lin remains through all this media frenzy.  It makes his teammates and fans love him that much more.

5. Work your butt off.
Lin couldn’t have seized his opportunity if he hadn’t worked like crazy for years perfecting his skills.  There are no short cuts to hard work.  Success is a by product of that.  If you’ve got a Tiger Mom who’s always pushed you to work hard, great.  If not, let your conscience be your own Tiger Mom!  Get up early, stay up late.  Nobody gave Lin any free passes. Why should you get any?  You can only control what you control and that means you’ve got to work harder than anyone else you know.
