It amazes me how many times I have heard one of the following statements:
"I will get some shots up tomorrow, my girlfriend is in town."
or
"I didn't eat breakfast this morning, I woke up late and had no time."
or
"I didn't get to train today, I just got caught up with so many other things going on."
When I first started training athletes(8years ago) I would get done with the conversation and I would always think the same thing:
"Wait, this athlete says that they want to be great"..... And I would get angry!
"Maybe they just don't have the discipline that it takes!
Maybe they don't really want to be great!
Maybe they are used to making excuses and not ready for the next level!
Whatever the case may be it would always bother me. It would bother me because you never no what tomorrow holds!
Tomorrow is never promised!
I would always end the conversation with a quote I once heard:
-A good athlete does occasionally what a great athlete does everyday!-
Everyday Matters!
A Great Athlete has tremendous discipline and does whatever it takes on a daily basis to be great!
You cant just train when it is comfortable and convenient. You must work on your skill everyday to gain that edge over your competition.
Start today to separate your self from the good athletes by investing the time to become great.
Today Is Your Day!
Don't wait until it's too late and then look back with regret. That is a horrible feeling!
There is no tomorrow!
Here is a clip from one of my favorite movies about the value of today:
Remember-
-A good athlete does occasionally what a great athlete does everyday!-
What can you do today to take control of your future?
What can you do today to make yourself a better athlete?
What can you do today to guarantee yourself success?
Make today Count!
Take Control of your future... fight for what you need...Go and take it today!
Now Is Your Time!
Until Next Time,
