Jazz Chisholm Jr. has The Seventy Percent Solution. While most athletes talk about the urge to give 100% or even 110%, the New York Yankees infielder thinks his success since returning from the injured list has been caused by limiting his intensity.

After playing an instrumental role in a 9-6 win over the Red Sox on Friday, Jazz Chisholm Jr. said something that might strike some as strange coming from the mouth of a professional athlete.

While Chisholm was finishing up his rehabbing from almost five weeks of missed games with a strained oblique, he was convinced to hit the breaks and slow his game down to 70-percent max effort. Has this EVER been done before?
