“Everyone has a will to win but very few have the will to prepare to win.” –Vince Lombardi

Thought of the day

Now that it is nice out, kids are out of their routine, and there are many patios with beer it is easy to slack on training. Many people have big goals but struggle to stay committed to the process when things get challenging or shaken up. How will you stay on track with all the distractions in your life? Are you committed to winning or does it just sound like a fun idea?

The five am crew solves the problem by training at a time where no one or anything else demands their attention.  If you are not an early riser keep that same commitment to your time slot. Routine in these times will keep you moving forward. Things may come up but priorities training you can always make it out to these things after. As I prepare for world masters I have buckled down on my jiu jitsu and in gym training sessions. Weight is already handled but I still need to sharpen my game over the next seven weeks. It is important to get training sessions in my calendar before the week starts. By putting the sessions in my calendar, I know the sessions will happen.   This process also helps you in looking ahead. Making you award of what things are coming in the future. What is coming up in your schedule that can get you off track? It is better to see it coming then to be caught off guard.

We all have busy lives. Will you use your busyness as an excuse or will you use it as an opportunity?
