-- Posted by Karaden at 2:36 pm on Aug. 19, 2008 I finally understand what my coaches have been trying to drill into my head all my life. I can now dig deep for energy, even when my legs are about to fall off. I run harder when I'm tired than wehn I just get to practice. I try, I sweat, I want to just pass out but have to keep running. It only took 13 years of competitive sports. Now to apply it to the rest of my life... -- Posted by hithere at 8:36 pm on Aug. 19, 2008 how are you thinking of applying it to life...? -- Posted by FutileRhetoric at 10:13 pm on Aug. 19, 2008 The mental game is just as important as physical. Surprised it too you that long to learn though. -- Posted by Karaden at 4:35 am on Aug. 20, 2008 Quote: from FutileRhetoric at 2:13 am on Aug. 20, 2008 The mental game is just as important as physical. Surprised it too you that long to learn though. Before I managed to glide along on my own usually untiring energy. Now I actually have to work. I've come a long way. (That and before I just played to play and have fun. Now I am playing to win because it is my job.) -- Posted by Karaden at 4:36 am on Aug. 20, 2008 Quote: from hithere at 12:36 am on Aug. 20, 2008 how are you thinking of applying it to life...? Never giving in. Always pushing a little harder. Looking to examine my weaknesses, covering them with my strengths until I can fix them.
