Welcome everyone...in the USA Today paper, Bill Gates comments on "common core myths." Good read. So, I want to expound upon a
common myth in the arena of sports, training and workouts. Myth
# 1, if you are on top, the # 1 person in your expertise, you will be
popular, worshiped and in "applause land." Not true. Being at the
top is a very lonely place to be. Walking into a room filled with
people, 50% will like you and 50% will despise you. Leadership is
a very lonely position. Ascending to the top, being at the top, you
will do it alone...get used to it. Your workout/training is all on you. Don't allow "buddies" to hold you back or have you on "detour." Those of us in training, getting ready for events, do so alone. We live in a different world. Oh, we are finding out who the
Olympians are with mental toughness.
Have a meaningful life everyone...Jimmy O

WARNING!
Hello and welcome everyone! Over this past year, in talking with tens
of athletes, I was appalled at how many allowed (got caught up with)
news items, politics and world affairs to interfere with and affect their
training, workouts and events. They allowed outside interests affect
their performance. WHY??? One of the roadblocks to success...self
induced distractions. Some of us are guilty of sabotaging ourselves.
Anything you can't control...don't worry about it. The road to success
will always be under construction. Fate is what life gives you...destiny is
what you do with it.
Have a meaningfull life everyone! Jimmy O
