A coach told his athletes: "I don't care about their problems, they have to come to train." It doesn't matter if it rains, it doesn't matter, if you don't have money, it doesn' t matter, if you are sad for anything, it doesn’t matter, your commitment is here and you must come for training
One of his athletes commented to him: "Coach, I think it's too strict. What if one day, we're in a very difficult situation?" Will he really force us to come for a sport??. "
The coach commented: "Look, this is not Athletics, this is life itself." Do you think life will care that you are away from home tomorrow?. Do you think he will care if you have money or not?. Do you think life will care if you're sad about something?. FOR N O W E R T H I N G . Life must go on and you guys must move forward. That's what training looks like, it's a commitment you make not to me, but to yourselves. It is the commitment to move forward, that no matter the consequences, they will reach their destination and fulfill their goals. Learn that, understand it, and one day you will see that athletics doesn't just teach you to run, to jump, to throw.... "also teaches them to be winners, winners in LIFE"
Since that day, no one wanted to miss anymore...
