Sport provides adversity, challenges and pushes us to discover new things about ourselves. How we handle ourselves under pressure. How we make decisions, where our cracking points are, how much we can push ourselves and what we are able to adapt and adjust with. How good our sense of humor is and how we make decisions.We have chosen to put ourselves in a position to be pushed. We strive to feel alive. What about if things arent perfect. Typically we are motivated, high achievers who have set up our lives to run pretty well and consistently moving forward. Sometimes in this process there is a loss of reality. We get fixated on perfect number of hours of sleep, best massage, acupuncture, treatment, whole foods, gear, ect. What if you are suddenly put in an environment that isnt ,what we may consider ideal, for high standard athletic achievement? Would you find the core of what actually makes an athlete gold standard or would you fold because things arent perfect. What about if you couldnt afford massage? Or all you can afford to eat is the cereal on sale? What if you are in a country where the air isnt good, there are no grocery stores that sell fancy newly branded products?What if you had no car and no health club? What if you suddenly were put in a position where all you get to sleep is 3hrs per night for months?Would you still persevere? What truly is the core of someone who reaches high level goals is their passion, there commitment no matter the situation. Their ability to stay focused and adapt at all cost. Ask yourself, how deep is my passion for what I do? And am I doing things in my life that I have this much passion for.
