Talking to my Inner Self

Within my training camp, I’m happy to share that it places emphasis on the mental fitness of the athletes.  For about 3 months now we have been having weekly sessions where our coach focuses on finding ways to incorporate a strong mind to enhance performance.  I have observed that it has been the elite athletes within the group that take these mental training sessions seriously, and I will not lag any further behind them or give them more of an edge over me.

Upon high recommendation, I have formulated my own daily mantra.  If there is an extra boost to be gained from such a thing, I’m gaining it.

 

Today will be a success. 

I am my own competition, I am my own champion. 

I train hard, I run hard, I win hard. 

This moment is only filled with stepping stones for me to rise.

My attitude is right, my body is prepared and my mind is focused. 

I found the courage to begin the journey, I will find the strength to finish the race. 

I know what maximum effort feels like, and I will dig deep and run home. 

Today will be a success.
