Success.

“Success is not measured by what you accomplish, but by the opposition you have encountered, and the courage with which you have maintained the struggle against overwhelming odds.”

The truth within yourself….

A few weeks ago I received an email from a woman from NY. She had some rather detailed questions about training and racing, but ultimately what she was getting at was how she could learn to develop greater confidence, or reduce “fear” in her racing.

Apparently she was having some difficulty getting past some of her fears; these were becoming performance obstacles for her. In her email she gave several safe, protective details as to what her fears were, but instinctively I knew she wasn’t being completely truthful. “If you want to conquer your fears, whatever they are, you have to admit them – and then face them”, I said confidently.

I spent some time responding to her query and asked her to specify what those fears were (to herself). Once we can truly name our fear, we can then look to conquer it. I felt myself a bit of a hypocrite with my counsel and realized I was not being so truthful with myself.
