The Inner Voice
Quote appearing on print:
"Every athlete has an inner voice of pride. It is the voice
only athletes can hear, pushing them to the brink of exhaustion,
demanding excellence and condemning failure. Failure, understand,
is the driving force behind an athlete. Every athlete has experienced
failure, and now trains so they will not experience it again.
This inner voice knows the difference between training and exercising.
Many athletes exercise, stopping when they have reached a perceived
limit, or when it becomes uncomfortable to continue. But only
a select few athletes have the heart and desire to train unconditionally.
Only a select few push past their physical and mental limits.
Only a select few push past the pain and discomfort. Only a select
few have the courage and the character to understand that training
makes them quicker, faster, stronger, but most importantly, allows
them to gain a mental edge over future opponents. So when failure
laughs in my face as I desperately try and earn the respect of
that last repetition, it must realize one thing: Each time I train,
I not only hear, but I answerThe Inner Voice."
