—PREPARE —
I always tell my athletes before competition:
We’ve done the work. It is what it is, now go have fun.
I heard a quote from another coach recently that nailed it:
“The wood is already chopped.”
You chop in summer to prepare for winter. When winter comes, you don’t panic, you trust the prep.
Lately, I’ve been juggling study, working full time, being present at home, and building a business. Sh*t’s been crazy.
To the point I’ve been really freaking out. For the first time since starting this degree, I even questioned whether I’d done enough for my exams and feared failure. But the results reminded me: the work was already done.
Id already chopped the wood.🪵
One day there’ll be space to breathe and slow down,
but today isn’t that day. Standards stay high.
Back to the grind. 🔥 💪
