Reality Check
It is really easy to become bogged down with the sport-specific demands of any sport: skills, drills, workouts, strength training, flexibility, nutrition, hydration, along with family and social demands. As you strive to keep everything in balance with your time management it is easy to lose sight of what drove you to sport initially. Stop and ask yourself what you enjoyed the most about your sport when you were just a spectator and not the athlete that you are now (full of experiences)?
Over the last 29 years of my coaching career, I have encouraged all of my athletes to not miss the opportunity to go enjoy sport even if you don’t feel that you are in tip-top shape. Think about your fitness level today, you could literally go hiking, rock climbing, mountain biking, paddling, etc. Refrain from letting an injury or illness change your perspective and be the catalyst of appreciation regarding your level of health and fitness.
Training with a level of appreciation, another tool for Work Smart, Not Hard and Avoid Overtraining!
Yours in sport & health,
